FYI... the average MPG has risen 1.5 mpg. Thats a
6% increase over the average of 25 mpg. I bet your happy and relieved that its quite a bit better than your prediction of "very unlikely that you will notice a difference in MPG.....be the same or slightly a tenth better".

Yep, I am getting similar results with the V6.
Just as I expected, there is a very measurable increase in fuel economy. Seeing as there were a few trips on rt80 that were bumper to bumper, I expect the long term MPG to be even better.
Magnaflow claims a 2-3 mpg improvement (iirc).
