I really don't think a borla is going to make much of a difference then flowmasters as far as performance, especially not enough to ditch one fork out more cash for the other $$$$

And the spacer isn't going to take power. It may not add anything but it doesn't take anything away either. I got one for my birthday and it doesn't do much but it didn't take anything away.

My truck is 6" lift on 35's with just a handheld programmer, K&N. Flow master exhaust and I can pull pretty close to 18 on the highway and roughly 15-16 in town.

Nope. Stock 3.73's.

Gas mileage isn't all about all the mods you do. The best mod for gas mileage is foot control. Drive easier. Better MPG.

I can peal out every time I take off and get 9ish (no flat land whatsoever) or I can drive like I'm 105 years old and get 13ish. I think your as has a lot to do with it. If you don't travel much, always in town, always use the same as station, after a month or two it will help you a mpg or so. A least it did for me. Have been driving on the same brand gas from the same station since feb
