  1. Cause I don't think that's how it's built in the first place, there's probably no place for the passenger's side pipe to go underneath. Most V6's simply join the exhaust pipes together behind the engine underneath and run a single pipe out to the back. They make provisions for room for the exhaust on the driver's side, but not on the passenger's side. Plus the O2 sensor(s) will need to be placed somewhere that it can read the gas content of BOTH pipes simultaneously for proper operation... meaning everything needs to run through a single pipe.
  2. AFAIK, steering problems aren't really an issue with the R50's cause they have rack and pinion steering. Manual hubs are good for getting slightly better gas mileage by allowing you to disconnect the front axles from the hubs themselves, that's about it. R50 Pathfinders have drive flanges on the ends of the front axles to begin with which means that the front axles are always spinning while the vehicle is in motion.
  3. Yep. A standard oil filter should work fine for filtering tranny fluid. Saturns have a canister filter for the tranny as opposed to a flat one inside the pan.
  4. Yeah, for $550 you can get some Thorley Jet-Hot coated ones. Ow. The chrome Thorley ones are better than the black Pacesetter ones, you get what you pay for in this case especially. The ceramic coating helps with underhood temps, yes, as well as keeping the exhaust gas velocity high and promoting exhaust gas scavenging by conserving heat inside the headers themselves.
  5. I'm not yelling at anybody, just letting it be known. FYI: If anyone's avatar pic disappears here sometime soon, it'll be me removing it for being too big... Mikesmaximase: your avatar pic is 300K+...
  6. It would work, but you'd have a hard time getting two mufflers to fit where only one used to be...I'd say just go for a better flowing muffler and use that instead of making it complicated.
  7. You'd need springs, shocks and struts. Take a look around at pics of other Pathfinders, compare yours to them. If it does have a lift kit, you'd probably notice the difference.
  8. Check it out, people. Every time someone posts an attachment to a reply or post, it gets uploaded to Mr. Jim's rented server and stored there until the time comes for cleanup and eventual archiving/deletion, which can take a while. He has to pay mucho $$ out of his own pocket for that storage space. When 10 people a day post an attachment of 500K because they didn't take the time to resize their picture, Jim gets to pay for it, and the storage fees aren't cheap. That's an average of 5 megabytes more per day of huge pics that don't need to be that big. That's a LOT. Nobody really needs to be able to see the threads on your bolts and the bird poop on your hood up close, mmk? RESIZE YOUR PICTURES BEFORE POSTING THEM AS ATTACHMENTS. That includes avatar pics. Avatars are pre-set at 160x120. Uploading anything bigger than that ends up looking grainy because the forum software resizes the pic to fit the 160x120 standard size. Resize your pic before you upload a new avatar pic instead of simply uploading a full size pic and letting the forum software resize it for viewing. The base picture is STILL huge in many cases, and Mr.Jim is footing the bill for everybody that's doing it. An acceptable upper-limit size for pictures posted for internet viewing is about 800x600. Smaller is just as good, 640x480 is entirely viewable and looks just fine. Acceptable filesize is 100K or so for attached pictures. Bigger than 150-200K is just way too much. Even if Jim does allow you to post bigger ones. 1024x768 and up is TOO MUCH and is a total waste of server space, bandwidth, and Jim's money. I've seen pics even bigger than 1024x768 posted on here for no reason other than that the person posting it didn't resize it before posting. We need to keep it real here, people. If you need help resizing pics, let me know. One very very easy way to do so is by opening MSPaint, then opening your picture and using the "Reduce/Enlarge" option to reduce the overall size of the picture, then save it. You don't have to use an expensive photoeditor program. MSPaint comes with almost every version of Windows in use today. Personally, I use ACDSee's bundled photoediting program called PhotoCanvas. It comes with the ACDSee PowerPack which is downloadable as a free trial from the ACDSee website. Thanks for reading all of this, and please try to help Jim out instead of just blindly using up his limited resources. We all appreciate it.
  9. You may have to have the front mounts cut off and re-welded in different places if you really want to put one on. Shouldn't be too hard for a welding shop to do, but... *shrug*
  10. Mine does that occasionally. Nasty sounding, but it's just slippage.
  11. Mine won't go off unless you open the door, or bang on the underside of the floor...the old sensors just aren't very sensitive.
  12. They're good. I have Accel 300+ wires for my Laguna's 400 smallblock.
  13. My Swampers have been on for about the last three years and have at least another year to go before I get new ones. 33x12.50's are next. Next set is going to be Swamper TSL/SX Radials.
  14. I have yet to see a rear diff check plug that won't come out with a breaker bar and some weight behind it. I worked at Jiffy Lube for 'bout a year and every RWD vehicle that I worked on got it's plug pulled to check the fluid level.
  15. 1. Google.com 2. "Differential locker" 3. Click on link and read.
  16. Just pressure wash them, use some degreaser, then paint with standard spray enamel. It's thin enough to flex with the springs, they don't move all THAT much.
  17. Only the SE's and LE's have rear discs...dunno on the spline count change year, though.
  18. Front one in stock location, rear one in the back bolted to the floor in a plastic battery box. Not much to see, man.
  19. Yeah, finding the proper Pathfinder font for making new vinyl stickers is hard!
  20. A generic auto part store dual battery isolator. *shrug*
  21. Jack up the passenger's side as far as you can before taking off the filter.
  22. Funny, they want $76 plus ship for the one I just paid $40 for at Target and gave to my brother for his wedding present.
  23. Drill 4 holes, insert bolts, tighten....10 minutes. Easy.
