I saw where they both help with exhaust pulses and balancing, but the X-pipe is better for exhaust scavenging. That's just what I have seen around the web.

You're right on both things. The cops around where I live don't care about it because everywhere you go there is straight piped chevy. I wanted to put an X-pipe on soooo bad, but if you saw how I had to do this setup, you would see there is no room for an X-pipe. I plan to put an H-pipe instead...

Thanks man! I love it and would be glad to help if you ever decide to do any work on yours!

I have no check engine light, and all cylinders are running just fine. The exhaust exits right in front of both back tires. All the exhaust is blowing straight out and not warming the wheel, or anything harmful. The only reason why it sounds weird is because one pipe had to be longer than the...

Oh you should see the looks I get. No one expects that sound to come from an Explorer. I have had people who drive 2nd generation Explorers stop and ask me what I did to get it like that.

Thanks. I had a flowmaster super 44 on it before. It sounded good, but I just enjoy the way it sounds straight piped.

I finally got the time to do my side exit exhaust setup. I didn't want my exhaust to exit out of the rear. I wanted to hear it, and I love how side exit exhaust sounds. I spent a few hours bending and welding, but it finally came out great. I'm no professional so please don't consider my work to...

I did a little exhaust work on my explorer. I put dual side exit exhaust right in front of the back tires. It is straight piped so it is a bit loud. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFysOfTqlqw

I paid like $17. And yes, I only did the rear hatch because it rattled so much. It still rattles but not as much. I might add some more later. If you do it, be careful with the rear hatch plastic. Mine broke like candy. Take your time.

Here is the link: http://www.lowes.com/pd_154017-81326-PS625_0__ Look in the roofing section. Comes out to be like $17.

A little video I made of me trying out this product called Peel and Seal. People have used it as a sound dampening alternative. I believe it helped a lot, and wasn't that expensive. Only took about an hour because I only did the back hatch. Here is the video...

Doesn't get much cheaper than what I did. I'm not a fan of the exhaust exiting out the rear of the vehicle, so I just unbolted the exhaust right infront of the secondary cats. I love the sound of it. If you wanna hear what this sounds like, hear is the link...

Here is another video of my two explorers. I did some exhaust comparisons. One is a 1995 4x4 XLT with the 4.0 OHV, it is only used for farm usage. The other is my daily driver, she is the green Eddie Bauer with the 5.0 OHV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42-1euAj3Q8

Video of a 4.0 OHV with a Flowmaster Super 44 muffler, and then a 5.0 OHV straight piped with Torque Monster Headers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42-1euAj3Q8

20x10 Ultra 431 Hustler Chrome 275/55R20 General Grabber UHP Wanted some new wheels so I looked around and went with a gamble on these. Turned out pretty good. I LOVE the extra traction. Can't burnout anymore, but I also don't slip and slide around. Has a little rub when turning hard left but...

How much is a custom tune going to cost? Can I just email him or should I call?

The closest vender to me is quite far, and I'm sure they will charge me a whole lot more. What about Hensen. I have heard people from this forum LOVE to get tunes from him. Is he still around?

So if it was the crankshaft front seal. I have would have to pull the entire front part of the engine. Water pump, timing cover, and chain? If I were to do that I might as well replace the timing chain and possibly add a slightly more aggressive cam. Would I have to pull the engine out, or just...

Well I now have Torque Monster Headers, straight piped with only two cats, and a cold air intake. Will the pre-loaded tunes still cover those improvements. I have nothing left to improve on my explorer. Anything else would cost thousands, (super/turbo charging.) I have now moved to improving the...

Alright, I'm not the best mechanic but I know a good bit for being 18. If I were to look from under the engine bay, where would that seal be at? The water pump is in the very front so would it be behind it? Under it? Sorry for the questions but its better to ask before I going looking.

So my explorer has had an oil leak for a while now. It is coming from the front lower part of the engine. It isn't the oil pan gasket. There isn't any oil in the water so I don't believe it is the water pump. I was wondering if I should just buy some explorer 5.0 off of Craigslist and have it...

See I thought my tuner could change my speedo. But out of all the options, that is not one. I have the SF3 3015. So what would I have to do in order to correct it? Get the speedo gear?

Yeah I enjoy mine. Most of the improvement I saw was throttle response. And that it keeps my check engine light from coming on. I have a problem now with these bigger wheels and tires. My speedo is 5 down from what it really is. Almost gets me in trouble sometimes. I think I am going to need a...

No it doesn't sound bad, just very loud when you get on it. It sounds good while cruising. Just a faint rumble. It is as follows: torque monster headers into stock pipes with two little cats. No muffler, resonator, or secondary cats. I have no check light either. At first I did because of the...
