Fuel efficient axel-backs!
so I was looking into buying some SLP LM'sm but I heard they kill your gas mileage.
I know this is a musclecar, but I like most of the axel-backs, and would like to know what you guys think would save me a buck or 2.
Thanks guys!

Axle-back exhausts can have a negative impact on gas mileage due to the aural stimulation received from Lead-Foot-itis

Gotta agree... no loss in mpg here with mySLPs.. In fact Im actually getting better mpg with my mods than when I was stock.

The stock exhaust flows so extremely well, that changing out the axle-back has little to no difference.
