Local company here Manta Performance does some stuff for Y62

Couple videos down - 20hp gain?

Also Harrop if you don't mind getting your cheeks clapped with their pricing.

Found a old school exhaust guy awhile back who does a good job and charges you what he told you before he starts.

It's a sad world that honouring what you told someone is a foreign concept these days

Real estate agents are a good one.

List price that we advertise oh and another 7 figures on top of that price

20 hp gain in one of them, will be like those obese women who order a trim latte or trim flat white while buying a muffin or slice to have with it.
They have the illusion it's making a difference. Reality says otherwise.

OP, have you seen what 200 series are selling for...
If you bought when you started this thread you could cash in and upgrade/side step to a Ram 2500.

Went fishing today so had the y62 on the sand, just like driving on the freeway just cruises along .Had a little play and really confirmed that we could not of really lived with something that I could not go on the beach with.Even catch some fish ,back tomorrow!

4 months now owning the 62 ,still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it ,had the middle muffler replaced so sounds like a v8 now,also put heavier springs in the back and air bags for towing. Goes hard with or without the van .Love it !!!!!

That will give you the best bang-for-buck Tow-Pig, a very good off-roader, and something you can live with around town.

Good to see you finally came to your senses

End of the day, whether you like Nissans (as I do) or Tojos, and/or
want the latest tech or are happy with an old-school banger,
prefer diesel or petrol

For the 3 things you wanted, a decent 4x4 was always going to be the best compromise.
