New exhaust 2 1/4"

Re: New exhaust 2 1/4"
My display is normally off by quite a bit, for example 52.2 on the FCD would be 48.2 hand calculated. Not very often it comes up close. My Insight is normally right on the money and only off by a few tenths.

Re: New exhaust 2 1/4"
I was lucky this morning and had no traffic on the way to work. I arrived at work with 54.1 miles @ 53.7 mpg. I have done this same exact drive with the same exact weather and have never done so well. I also got here in record time since I got the HCH. I actually went over 80 mph on it (84mph to be exact!!!). That is a first since I purchased! I had never gone over 78. I drove the car in to work today not like if it was a hybrid, because it doesn't feel like one. Ok so the tranny does't shift but I was merging into lanes with confidence, infront of other vehicles instead waiting for them to pass me. This exhaust system is so libererating. Thank you DUC.

Wait until you do the air intake I noticed a huge difference when I did it, now it may seem small with the exhaust being done first but I bet you will get another kick.
Did you read/see how I did my CC breather? It is cheaper and one less filter to clean, and if you burp it won't make a mess in your engine comp.
Now try to control your big foot and get us some real numbers , betcha can't do it.....

Feel confident adding an aftermarket air filter or intake. I have added one to every vehicle I have owned to date. It is one of the easiest, best, and cost effective mods on the market other than an exhaust system. If you add both an exhaust system to an intake/airfilter mod you will see the greatest benefit as both mods compliment one another. Good luck.
