Default Exuast System

I will get pics up soon. I just got a Incinerator muffler and duel exuast pipes yesterday. Looks and sounds great! But my mpg's went down by 1 or 2, any say on what could cause this?? Not a big issue but curious

Just like most people who get an exhaust system, the issue with mpg loss is most likely your right foot.

Lol well that probably is true. I love how it sounds. I'll have to check in a few weeks when I get over it

When you do begin checking your mileage, do it over 2 to 3 tank fulls and average it out.
Your mileage will suffer at first because of the sound of the new exhaust, and how heavy your foot gets.

Couldn't agree more. If you have an iPhone by chance, there is a fantastic little app called "Gas Cubby." It's awesome at tracking mpg data as well as service records for your vehicles.
