What's up,

Just bought the 05 xB, but my searches for aftermarket parts only turn up stuff for 04's and earlier. Posted this in another forum earlier, didn't see these threads. Any help would be appreciated, I'm taking it on the Autobahn in a year!

its the same car...04 will fit 05

 

What an oddly appropriate signature line, Chin.

 

04 parts fit the 05? Awesome, now a question on which parts. Looking at intake, exhaust, inition, and headers. Prefer quality and results over cost effectiveness, but the pockets go only so deep.

According to everything I have read, the only thing which will do anything meaningful for this engine is Super Charger or Turbo. Everything else seems lots of money for little improvement. Ground wires might help smooth things out some and you can make them yourself.

 

if yer goin header , intake , exhaust for a good price i can tell ya this
Injen short ram
Megan racing header
Custom exhaust
all this should run you around 500

 

Precisionmufler.com is having a special right now on our axle back right now, you should check it out. :D

 

The main difference that I know of for the year change was different a softer spring tension. Otherwise, anything made for the 2004 xB should fit the 2005 xB.

 

If the 2005's springs are supposed to be a little softer I'd hate to find out how stiff the 2004's must ride!
