I Got Some Budget Performance Questions!

[97phychoPATH]

Whats a good non oiled cold air intake that doesnt cost a ton?

A good sounding muffler for a V6?

does everyone else's standard pathfinder run at like 3000RPMS at 70?

where can i get a good lowering kit?

do they sell headlights with different looks?

would my mpg increase if i get an intake and exhaust?

THANKS!!!

Yes. I know it's about 2100RPM for me at 60mph, and somewhere around 2700-3000RPM for 70 if I'm recalling correctly. Sorry, that's the only question I know the answer to.

yeah, thats exactly where mine is at.Thanks

CAI - Either do a drop in filter and remove resonator, China brand off eBay, or Jerry rig your own from home Depot with aftermarket cone (alot of people here have done Jerry rigging or drop in with deleted resonator)

I deleted my resonator and added drop in filter (a hole 15 minutes of my life and costed 40$)

Exhaust - Expand your pipes slighlty, High flow muffler, (Magna flow, Cherry Bomb, Flow master Whatever suites you) Cat Back, COULD delete resonators.


MPG - Tune up, New plugs, New wires, New coils. Could do you a world of good. Fuel filter maybe? Clean your MAF Sensor, Clean out your throttle body (Pretty much change all fluids if you havent before, I made it a habit to do just the thing with "new" Cars i buy)

Head Lights - eBay is your friend, Headlights are scarce, you get the stock, black housing, and clear corners, not much else. Tail lights a lil more variety.

Lowering Springs - 4x4parts.com. They have a set for our trucks i believe for about 400.

Youre welcome

Coils?!
Oh man, I just looked up the cost for these. did you really swap out all your coils?
Is this advised? I mean, coils is an item you change only when they're bad, right?

Coils are used on 2001 and newer trucks. Prior to that it's the traditional distributor, cap, rotor, plug wire system. Changing coils will not improve the performance. New spark plugs might, depending on how old and what shape the current ones are in. Better air flow will certainly help. There are lots of threads on CIA's and other air flow mods. The one mod I liked is removing the air resonator box that's built into the driver's side fender. It's made of white plastic, has what looks like a cow's udder on the bottom of it, and pretty much kills your air flow.
There was a thread on that mod a while back. Might be worth a search.

If its cheap performance gains your looking for, weight reduction should be added to your list also
