I would imagine you can get them through a dealer for a pretty penny. I got mine off a wrecked truck on craigslist. I've come across the leather fx4 seats in junkyards even but they usually want an arm and a leg lol. I picked up both seats and console for $200. Guy didn't know what he had!

Well I have the red Fx4 seats obviously cause I have a level 2, but mine are torn and have mud caked all over them. I just want some nice looking seats like you have, But I'm afraid to go to Ford cause the price will be outrageous.

if you don't want to loud look into a thrush muffle, sound pretty good but not too loud, i prefer flomast, but they are much louder, and hell don't buy a K&N intake system build your own like i did, just use pvc pip, rubber pipe connectors, and fab your own box out of alum sheet metal or a very durabul plastic, i did that for mine since they don't make a kit for my year and i have limited funds, works like a charm, i also used 3 inch pvc to my throttle body which is oversised but works great. now min is a four banger, but my friend did the same with his 4.0, his is older too but if its the same set up as the explorer it shouldn't be too hard. I would also sugest a lund sun visor, they look great on trucks!

as for exhaust I personally like magnaflow. quiet at idle but roars to life on the throttle. i'm running a 14" muffler and had a shop cut/bend me a cat back 2 1/2" dual exit.
How much did that run you if you don't mind me asking...

Well I kinda got the good friend discount lol. The guys kind of a friend and we send a lot of business to him at my job. I paid $200. Usually full cat back runs $350 or even more at a quality shop who knows what they're doing

He knew he had 2 ugly seats and a console..lol worth less than 200$ imho...Can get some BMW Calf Skin buckets or basically any badass leather buckets for 200$ a pair, why go for some basic ford seats...rofl

Ummmmm......yeah not even getting into this argument. If you want to do all the fab work to get some bmw seats to fit more power to you lmfao! If I put my seats in the classifieds for $350 including the console they'd be gone in a heartbeat

Hardly any fab work at all. Find a pair of Manual BMW 3 series seats..I got a pair of 2001 Grand Prix GTP black leather buckets in flawless condition for 50$ on craigslist...350$ ROFL..
