Intake Resonator Removed
When installing the body lift, one of the intake resonators was in the way so I took it off and replaced it with a 2″ test plug found in the plumbing department at home depot. It maybe added 1HP, if I’m lucky. If you listened to the engine before and after, it’s a little bit throatier. You wouldn’t be able to tell otherwise.
Cost: About $2
The 2″ test plug is the thing with the UPC sticker on it.

Nice site Daniel. You know, I just got rid of my K & N FIPK. I bet if you threw a K & N filter in there and took off the baffle, you would have an intake system nearly as good as the FIPK. I would know, I just got rid of mine. Throw a filter in there and get yourself a recharge kit. You will not regret it!

Have you tried any other ways to make your xterra run more fuel efficient? Did anybody try ?

It’s not my daily driver anymore, so I’m not really that concerned about the gas mileage it gets (although I wouldn’t complain if it got more).
