Word!

On a side note...my exhaust manifold cracked recently. I was talking to another frontier owner and he (as did i) have this problem several months after the custom exhaust mod.

Perhaps it is higher flow and more heat is getting into the manifold more quickly (hotter) and it cracks.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Nice, congrats. Post some pics and sound when you can.
FYI - I am on my 3rd Nissan (93 HB P/U and 97 Path) and the first 2 both had cracked manifolds by 60K. I pretty much expect it at this point, especially once I mod the exhaust.
Enjoy the new sound.
