01 Sport 4x4

Just picked up my X last night. Gotta 01 Sport 4x4 with lots of bells and whistles. I'll shoot some pics and post them tonite.

I have some plans for the vehicle in the near future... any advice on exhaust systems? I'm thinking borla

hehehe... welcome to the site. I still have the same feeling of the day I picked up my X. :-D

Borla is good. I think they are one of the best, but also the most expensive. Do a few searches here and you will find most people turn to Flowmaster for performance, sound and a reasonable price (including me).

Enjoy your stay!!!

Here are some pics... I LOVE MY X!!!

I think I need to make some mods but I've been too busy drivin around everywhere. Did manage to pick up a K&N filter tho... I think replacing the stock speakers is gonna be on my to-do list next week.

euros/altezzas would look tight on that. just my $.02

 

[Syd]

ummm noob question... what the hell is a euros/altezzas?? wheels i guess? do you have a link to them?

LIFT IT! LIFT IT! LIFT IT!!!!

euros/altezzas are basically white outs. if youve seen the new Lexus RX300 or IS300, the tail lights on those are altezza's. the look sweet.

They dont make altezzas for '01 sports.

my wife's uncle has a gibson exhaust on his ranger and that sounds/looks really nice.

Well I've already gone 500 miles and still no mods. She's heading to the shop today for a new muffler. Decided to go Flowmaster 50 series w/DeltaFlow. Hopefully she won't roar too loud but still growl just a little bit. I'll let ya know what I think soon...

the 50 delta should be nice. that's what i'm looking in to getting. their not much louder than stock at idle. i want a nice quiet setup. i like to hear my music more than my 4.0.......

Right on the money Leenjen, I dig the muffler. It's not too loud but a noticably lower pitch growl. And you definately will feel the HP/Torque gains off the line and when you are passing.

Syd, you got dual in single out? is it a muffler chain you took it to or a specialty shop?

 

[Syd]

Basically what I got was a drop in replacement for the stock muffler. Offset inlet, center outlet (both single), 2.25'' pipe (I think). I went ahead and left the stock resonator (or whatever its called) on for now. They said it doesn't restrict the exhaust but just baffles the sound a little.

Oh and I took her to a local shop that does exhaust, cats, headers, and stuff like that. I paid a little more for the muffler than I'd seen them advertized for on various web sites but the install was only 20 bucks and the guy did a great job from what I could tell, the weld looked perfect. I still need to pick out a tip... any suggestions?

On another note does anyone have any info bout clear sides and tails, and replacement headlight bulbs for an 01 sport?
