New X owner, a few questions...

[94sportX]

Hi! I just purchased a 94 Explorer Sport 5speed 2 days ago, and I have a couple of questions.

It really was a spur of the moment thing because it was a good deal, and I never really considered Explorers before, so i don't know too much about them.

Anyway, I have realized that I LOVE this truck, it's a lot of fun to drive. I have driven automatic 4-door X's before, but for some reason this one seems a lot peppier, and it sound different, almost like a Mustang GT when accelerating. Maybe it has a different exhaust on it? Or is this normal for 5-speeds to sound like this?

Also, does anyone make a billet grill for the 91-94? If so, do can you point me in the right direction, and do you have any pics? That would be great!

Thanks, I look forward to coming here often!

My 4 door has always been peppy and its a 5 speed to. The sound you hear is probably not a stock Ford muffler. Something aftermarket probably. As for billet grills people make them. I've had mine for 2+years. I think I got mine from http://www.truckperformance.com I could be wrong though. Anyways heres the pic of the grill. Its the best I have.

Thanks!

If anyone else has any more pics of their X Sport, please show me! I'd like to get some ideas as to what I can do to it to make it more unique. Thanks for the replies so far!
