joshrichard Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 A little bit of an update, I thought those two bolts were what connected the catalytic converts, but after closer look they were just resonators so I decided to just cut outBoth resonators and weld in pipe in between. That sound mixed with the flow master muffler I already have made the truck sound very good. I’m really happy with the sound of the truck now, I would try to get a video but it’s so hard to get a video of the sound of an exhaust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya it usually comes out sounding tinny and crappy. my 01 qx4 actually does have cats where those resonators are. thinking about taking some measurements and having a shop make me some test pipes to delete them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshrichard Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 obviously added 50hp+ 100%, I also have 3 stickers so all in all I’d say I’m pushing 360 hp give or take a little because of the lift and tires. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01Pathmaker Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Huh?! Why are you selling it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshrichard Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Picked up this Scion coupe for a good price and will help when commuting from college, work, and home. The pathfinder was too bad in gas mileage to justify keeping it especially with the amount of time I spend driving. Looking to sell it, but toying with the idea of keeping it in the family. Loved this car as it was my first and glad I found this forum along with everybody that helped! Will update in whether I’m keeping it or not but still undecided. I plan to stay on this forum and communicate with everybody! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahfelker Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Here's and idea! Sell the Scion and use the money to put one of those 2.5l Cummins motors in the Pathfinder! Then you'll get like 30mpg and it'll be cheaper than paying off that scion haha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there may be sway bar links with bushings back there as well. With regard to rear upper & lower control arms, be aware that this is something[mention=37543]TowndawgR50[/mention] is starting to produce. See@Jax99 build thread. God I want these!!!

Now that @TowndawgR50 and @hawairish are making parts for our rigs I might upgrade to their trailing arms. Also if you use poly bushings they could squeak more if they're not lubed with grease so just FYI on that. The Moog rubber bushings I used are quiet until they go bad again Those aftermarket ones just aren’t as beefy as the oem ones. Poly bushings are definitely the way to go! And if you’re worried about squeak you can always drill and put in your own zerks Edited March 26, 2019 by Sjackson2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshrichard Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Today was the day the pathfinder was sold, definitely really bummed about it. We got a good price out of it but sad to see your first car go. Although when we traded it in we gained a new addition to the family! We got a 2018 TRD Sport Tacoma and man is this thing sweet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you pointed the owner in NPORA’s direction (or was it a dealer trade-in, if so, you should have left a NPORA message in the glovebox or just inside the owner’s manual). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainGoat Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Interesting, I’m from KC & would have figured people went to KC or St.L or Columbia. Those prices are Seattle like & usually it’s crazy here compared to back home on everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
