When I launched one in my Lightning, I was doing errands in another town. I finished my running around then drove home on the freeway, about 15 minutes away.

I believe it was late 01 or early 02 when the heads changed for more plug threads. my X is a late 02 and it has the heads with more threads.
My buddy has a 99 Class A with a V-10 and it spit a plug on him while on the road. he carries an insert kit with him. he fixed it on the side of the road in 20 minutes.

I think there were changes to the Y-pipe along with the extra O2 sensors. I think the Y is a little more restrictive. My '00 was definitely more punchy, but I think that may be a 2WD vs 4WD thing.
My '04 EX is definitely quieter then the '00 was. I had some broken manifold studs on the '00, but I don't think it was leaking yet. Could just be more insulation between the XLT and EB too.
I think the PCV system may be a little different too.
My '00 had green coolant, the '04 has gold.
can't think of anything else I've noticed.
