Agreed. It won't be a great difference. Just don't stand on the throttle.

nothing you're going to notice. you could see an MPG increase driving your car like a granny for a month. your car isn't going to get the same exact mileage every time you drive it.

yes you will. the car makes more HP with the same amount of throttle, therefor, you go farther with the same amount of gas.

but ultimately it boils down to how often you bury the pedal.


I noticed when feathering it it goes way up. funny how less 5k rpm running uses less fuel?

my MPG is never consistant, unless i'm TRYING to see what the best mileage i can get out of it. i can get 24MPG with my blown GT if i don't take it any higher than like 2200RPM and don't romp on it. otherwise, it's pretty much never the same. i can put a plastic bag over my hoodscoop and drive slow and say it gave me 1MPG increase.

^well yeah it goes for that way WITH or WITHOUT an X Pipe lol...
if you smash the throttle on and off etc... youll get less gas mileage... common sense lol.
yeah you should see slight gains, its obviously better air flow.
