I just put down a deposit on a Black '09 4WD w/13,880 miles. I'll be picking it up on the 21st and driving it home [600 miles].

I have been looking for a black 09/10 for some time [don't care for new body style] , and finally found a low-mile one within driving distance of my house.

Since I can never leave my vehicles alone, I'll probably be doing intake, exhaust, and some sort of tuner - like SuperChips or some other 'canned' tune I can do myself.

I'm happy to listen to anyone's recommendations on any of the mods I've mentioned above!

:cheers:

Greetings from the staff here at NICOclub! Glad to have you as a new member!

Congrats on the new ride! Any QX56 or Armada 2008 and newer is truly an amazing vehicle! You will be very happy with that! Pretty nice that you found something with low miles.

FYI, there is a NISMO exhaust that is made for the Armada/QX56/Titan. ENJOY!!! :bigthumb:

Thanks, Timmbo.

So far I bought a Superchips tuner and Injen intake. Can anyone compare the sound of the Nismo, Gibson, and Magnaflow exhausts? I want deep and throaty - but not *overly* loud.

OK - I'm impatient and compulsive. I bought the Magnaflow. I have it on my Expedition and it sounds good.

How much was the Superchips tuner? I really want to get the Nismo exhaust.

I got it for $250 off of eBay - used. About $100 cheaper than most others that are brand new.

Absolutely.

Actually, I'll probably do before and after dyno runs to see the gains I get from the whole package - intake, exhaust and tuner.
