Cool The few, the proud

The X-MEN

Continuing with the spring mods from last year on my '10 4.0l , this year before the spring thaw.

Xcharger Hi-Po
AM Black Bullitt staggered 18x8 front 18x9 rear
Gibson Headers
AEM Failsafe Boost/AFR gauge
Roush vent gauge pod

Also got the aluminum T-stat housing installed with the stant t-stat.

Got a few more things planned before I cut it off this year.

Looks great, loved my Xcharger Xtreme on my 2006!

Good call on changing that thermostat housing now. With the Xcharger the lower lid covers one bolt, which means you have to uninstall the blower to change the housing.

For what I paid for them $263, they are a good deal. But for some reason after I bought my set the ebay seller raised them to over $500. I bought them to replace my leaky ebay m2 headers that were causing an idle surge issue. The quality difference was night and day. Straight edge flat flanges. Ports completely smooth, and a bonus they are 50 states legal. They have a more separated sound if that makes sense. They are a quality piece, but I wouldn't spend as much as they are asking now for them.
