$200 for Lethal's o/r x or h pipe. Doesn't sound too bad with the stock muffles. I agree that the prices are outrageous! Ironic that the most effective mod is the cheapest (gears)

Stock exhaust sounds great.

Yep. If I had $600 to waste on my car, it'd be for gears. No question.

They do take many of the already existing S-197 Mods. CAI and Tune are quite popular.

Same. I love not having fog lights, a hood scoop, or rear wing. I'd be down with some crank windows if they offered them.

One thing that bothers me is the auto gauge lighting adjustment the car does. If I drive under a bridge the lighting gets brighter, or dimmer, or something. It's quite annoying.

My 2012 V6 Auto is great but my milage is still just so-so, averaging 25 in mixed highway and back roads, no real traffic. I have about 2000 miles on it so far, I'm hoping the milage improves as the weather gets warmer here in Mass.

I have nearly 20,000 miles on my 2012 V6 M, with the 3.31, I easily get over 30 mpg as long as I stay under 75 MPH. This is on a 5 hour trip with 3 or 4 stops. Over 75 mph it drops to 28 mpg. On the 2 lane roads with speed limits from 25 mph to 55 mph with a few stop lights and pit stops, I get about 33 mpg. The mileage has improved the more I drive it, and it seems to have a little more torque at the lower RPMs. When it was new it did not like driving 55-60 in 6th, now it seems to have a little more power in that range which helps mileage. I usually shift close to 3,000 RPM, and I pass a few cars every tank, I don't drive to get the best mileage possible. I use Mobile One oil, and I have a drop in K&N filter, these seem to help a little too.
