I agree!

Welcome! I too have a borla and they are excellent. Other mods I would recommend to help out the borla would be larger throttle body, larger MAF sensor, k&N drop in filter, a superchip, and maybe even high flow catalytic converter system and headers?
It all depends on how much power you want and how much money yo uhave to spend. a supercharger would be the ultimate, but they are expensive.

A K&N would be the best way to start, then look around the boards for mods. A lot of people also do exhaust. The two best exhaust systems are Borla and Flowmaster. Most people prefer flowmaster but i like borla.

That 4.6 is going to be very promising in the world of mods!!

 

[espnfreak]

No kiddin! that thing can get well over 300hp. can be one fast x. it has the same engine as the vic and stang

 

[ChuckyD]

240 hp stock.. with all the suggested mods... def get around 270- 280 or so... with a mean ass soundin truck!

wow, a 270 HP explorer with those mods! Then a supercharger on top of that and you'd have HP numbers in the upper 300's range!
