old fart in Xb
First, my apologies for repeating the same ____.
Second, Got the Black Xb and (sorry it's automatic) very surprised by it's handling and *****. Spoiler, air intake and added monster headers with TRD cat back etc. Still beats the hell out of that Suzuki Sidekick I'd been driving for the past 10 years. About 130 hp now by my estimations. We have lots of hills here and it handles them like a real trooper, put nearly 100 miles just driving around town. Now if only this 45 year old fart can get it away from his 18 and 20 year old. They won't be satisfied till they can crank the hp to 200.

Yo, old dudes 
(...I'll be joining you this year at 38 Bill!) and Emil F. I had my Suzuki Samurai for over 15 years and I loved that car, too! It sounds like you are loving your xB as much as I love my autoCherry.
How are those headers working out for you, is the cabin noise much louder than stock?
Congrats on your ride...

Em...custom headers made by a factory certified guy? That is one helluva hook-up! Did that part void your warranty?

Voids the exhaust warranty, not the engine. I can live with it.
