A few of you guys already know, but when I was doing performance mods on a regular basis (before house/wife/baby), my sickness spread over onto my mothers truck. After doing all available bolt on mods to my explorer and not having enough money to move more on the Mercedes performance, I did a few little add on's to my mothers '97 Mountaineer 5.0. K&N cold air intake + Jet Chip + Borla Exhaust. The performance adjustments, did wake up the motor a little and really open up the top end, along with some more mid range umph, and a wonderful improvement in sound. Throttle response is better and it seems a little freer revving. So, a 62 year old PhD, drives an SUV that sounds pretty rip roaring. Fun picture of said truck:
