Love the sound of that thing, even if it is with no exhaust. Awesome work on the swap!
If you're 'done' with your build and looking for a vacation, you should bring that thing up to goneMOAB (www.gonemoab.com) next year; happens the week before Memorial Day.

Depending on what my new job allows, and what I have saved up.... I will be there. I can't believe I used to live less then 4 hrs away from Moab and never been.

I reread the whole thread again, man, that was a bit of workbut I think it was worth it. Hope it goes well in the future and the X treats her new engine nicely

So glad you got that beast running. I will be curious to see how loud it will be when you get the exhaust finished. For me that would be the deal breaker ,yes it sounds cool but after hours of driving it would drive me crazy. I love how quiet the 3.3 L is when cruising down the road.
Cheers!

I personally like it even as it is, the sound is definitely not a problem I would think. The only reason that I am not trying this is my skills, eeh, the lack of my skills
IMO that is how all Xterra's should be
