Yo, where did you get your magnaflow high flow cats? I looked around and could only find direct OE replacement (Magnaflow #93111)?

***EDIT***

nm I figured it out, why cant they just say high flow y-pipe blah blah, lol.

 

[1Bad04]

I got the cats/y-pipe from www.wundercarparts.com. Part #93108. I'm pretty sure they used to be cheaper than they are now.

The headlights are from Ebay.

I was looking at your url there and was looking at my v6 setup. $500. Eh, went to etrailer.com and grabbed me a set for $440 free ship, lol!

Now I really cant wait till next month, X-CHARGER!!!

Thanks. Yours looks good too. The tires are 275/45's. Can't wait to see yours with the winter rims.

wow your set up fills the wheel well better than others that are running 275/45

I was sort of thinking about getting 265/50 tires since they are a tad bit bigger and I thought it would fill in the wheel well better than 275/45

But I guess I am wrong since I like how your set looks-and I already got ground force springs at my home, just need to get myself a set of camber adjusters and then I will have them installed.

Mostly because he is lowered

Zerodevil- I'm still the fastest 3rd gen until you or 1bad04 make a run for it

Yeah thats probably why.

I guess if thats the case, I ll just go with 275/45 cuz I am going to lower mine as well.

Ever consider about lowering your x? i think it would look good

Ryan-We need to talk about some wheels, grill change and removing the roof rack Your ride looks great and I wish someone would rear end me so I can get the bumper and cracked panel fixed

I do plan on lowering it once funds allow

I was thinking about some wheels, got any recommendations? Wasn't too sure about a grill change, not keen on the billet ones. Was thinking about throwing a EB chrome on there and seeing how it looks....

 

[Limited02]

Before I answer that, are you going for a street look or lifting it?

If anything, try painting your grill gloss black like I did. I am liking the looks of gonzmexican and may be coping him for the most part. (grill and lights)

 

[ryanpetit]

In all honesty, I want the street look but don't want to completely ruin the off-road capability. Do you have any pics of your painted grille? Liking the idea of that

If you end up removing your rack let me know. I need new cross members.

I agree, Im a fan of "stock looking" wheels. I went with some limited rims on my 04. I got them on craigs list, with the new tires for $400 plus my old rims and tires. This guy deals in rims and tires out of his garage, he had a bunch of nice factory rims from various manufactures.

TheNastyZ28-I can tell from the first picture that you must have a nice camera? Explorer looks good as well and I would paint the trim too(but at the same time I like it?). There have been a few people that have talked about doing the same and there should be some write-ups or at least some coming.

Yes, photography has been a hobby of mine for a few years now. I'm also torn on painting the trim, I can't decide because while I see all-black explorers on sites like this and love them, there is something about the gray trim on this that I really like.

I have a rather decent air compressor and automotive paint gun and have used it to do automotive painting in the past, so I figure I'd probably do it myself, but I just don't know if I want to. I'm getting a set of running boards in the mail in a week or two, so hopefully putting those on will help me decide.

Here is my page for you do look at. I took off the grill, taped off the chrome trim and emblem and applied a few coats off spray paint. Seems to be holding up and looks better than the gray stockers.

Edit: Forgot to post the link!
