Well did even better today. Filled it 91 and flashed with the superchips 91 program. Dont think its the best match didnt notice any difference except the exhaust sounded deeper. i drove 250kms at around 90 - 100kph all secondary roads through small towns and some passing about 25 temp. It took only 30lt to fill back up and i had to work it to put 30 in it. Very cool can't wait to tow and see how it is. Just gotta find my receiver for the trailer seems to be missed placed during the work.

Cant wait to get the x2 from tp.

Yep bolts right in looks stock. It just had a bit different plugs on the back. Where i have just one it has 2 small with 2 more pins. Got to call around today if i can get the plugs.

What did you need to do to the motor mounts to make it fit?

I dont have them never did. They must not come on a 99. It does have the off road package stickers. It does sound different. I hear its the firing order that gives it the unique sound.
That reminds me i need to peel of my "5.4 inside" sticker.
