The car made 24mpg stock. Now with the cams, CAI, headers, full exhaust and tune I get 27 mpg. Of course your city mpg will go down but when you make an upgrade that helps the engine breath better it will run better which causes better mpg.

Yeah when I first saw there price I was pissed becuase I was never going to pay that much for headers. Then one day I got lucky and a club member knew a guy wanting to sell a set of headers he bought for his wife's 06 gt and she sold the car that same week. He kept them for three years and decided to get rid of them. I got AR headers and there catted x-pipe for 450. For that setup new its just over 1300 so of course I jumped on it lol.

Not a great pic but they looked better after I polished them. Found out real quick that was a waste of time. You can barely see them in the engine bay and they turned back to this color within a couple months
