ok so i had my exhaust setup installed the other day and since then i have gotten horrible gas milege while barely touching the gas. So far this tank ive gotten 83 miles to the first half tank. The other night when i was revving the exhaust for a friend he saw flames shoot out the tips. Is my car running rich or whats going on here?

I went lookin at the exhaust today and noticed that the mufflers are just welded on to the stock catback system that i have. I thought the muffler openings were a bigger size than the stock catback piping am i wrong?

horrible welding.. wow.

****ty welding. i coulda done better with the shielding gas turned off.

you should actually get better gas mileage with a new exhaust system. if you want really good mileage get a high flow x or h pipe

Are the muffler outlets a bigger size than the stock catback outlets?

David_K

i dont know. but if you were showing us the outlets the exhaust pipe should have went over the muffler pipe. that way there isnt as much restriction.

the closest piping in view there is the x-pipe/muffler weld. The catback piping does go over the muffler but none of the welds look like they fit well at all. I dont know if its just a shotty job of welding or that they dont fit and the welder tried to make them.
