- 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer
looking to modify my "new" explorer
Hello. first post i just got my '02 Explorer Eddie Bauer on Halloween. i love it so much. there have been a few explorers in my family. My mom has a 98 eddie bauer and my dad had a.. i wanna say 94/95 explorer. but anyway, now that i got my own, i wanna modify it
i've been looking at different options for air intakes. i'm really leaning towards a K&N Intake cause of the heat shield it provides. All the other intakes i've found for the 4.6 V8 dont have that heat shield. I've always been told that having a plan old cone just sitting in there can take in warm engine air which isnt good performance wise and having that heat shield will block that. so, i'm looking for some opinions on other intakes.
second, i'm looking into upgrading the exhaust system. I'm leaning towards getting the JBA headers. My brother had gotten JBA headers for his 2000 zx2 S/R and he loved so i'm thinking ima get a set of JBA headers for my explorer. but, now comes the part that i'd like some advice on... a cat-back system. what are the best systems performance wise that are available? and i know this is gonna be more or less opinion based but thats what i'm lookin for =P
