Talking Operation "GO GREEN" finally complete!

After a long 4 months, the operation I set up back in March, keyword "GO GREEN", is finally done. The plan was to get everything that I could done to raise my MPG's. Including; exhaust, programmer, CIA, and TBS. I don't like to talk about it, but "back in the day" in the early March, I was getting around 9.0 MPG! Yeah tell me about it, or and I got worst gas mileage on the highway . After having everything installed I am proud to say I have been averaging around 11-12 in the city and up to 15.4 on the highway! And thats with the A/C on. Now I know your thinking that that isn't that much of an increase for everything I did, but trust me if you got 9 MPG and then shot up to 11 (at the lowest) MPG you would just as excited as me. Here are the pictures from everything that has been installed (in the order I did them).

In the middle of March the exhaust was installed, custom rear exit Flow Master true duals. Oh and the tips are off of a Ford Raptor






Then in April, the AIRAID cold air intake was put it.


At the beginning of May I got my EDGE Evolution programmer put it.


And to complete everything, the AIRAID throttle body spacer was installed in June.

About how much did all those items cost? I'm getting between 11.5-13. I'm wishing I could get around 15.

You could have taken off the big mud tires and saved money and fuel while increasing MPG! lol

Exhaust = ~$350
CIA= ~$300
TBS= ~$120
Programmer= ~$400 (with shipping and tax which was like $50!)

Total= $1,170 (but worth it!)
