Gas milage horrible after exhaust install....
So I noticed after putting on my exhaust (BBK Long tubes, BBK high flow H-pipe (USED) anf 2 1/2" flowmaster catback) that my milage went from like 260 a tank to like 180. Any ideas? Also have timing bumped up.

Most likely there is something wrong with the O2 setup.
Pull the codes and see what the computer has to say.
There is a link in my sig if you don't have a scanner.
good luck
