If the link for the torsion twist everyone's talking about doesn't work, go to the main page, click on "technical articles", and in the drop down menu will be an article "Torsion Bar".
I had an exhaust company in Boston do the work for me. Unless you have a torch and some experience, it's well worth the money to get some professional help. With your X, I mean.
Anyway, I've learned a ton on this site, but I still have barely scratched the surface. The TB is the throttle body, and it ends the air intake on your explorer, where your gas will combine to feed your engine the proper (factory recommended, at least) mixture. The bigger TB is supposed to give better throttle response, and allow more air to pass through. I think I'll realize a lot more gains when I have the bigger MAF and intake tube, and add a chip. The chip should really help my engine since it will be breathing better on both sides.
After the shocks, and the BL, go for the KKM, or save up and go for the K&N FIPK. Plenty of people have been talking about the two, so it won't be very difficult to find some articles and posts about these mods.
Good luck,
Karl
