The midpipe, intake, or Premix does **** for MPG. However if your premixing its best to get a midpipe so you don't clog up your cat. I run an HKS hi-power with RP supercat and its loud as hell and smells horrible. But man the power that thing makes after 5 k is orgazmic

just keep the pedal light and use cruise control. anywhere between 3k and 3.5k is optimal for mpg.

oh yea change your oil flush your coolant and check your tire pressure. and change yrou wiper blades.

midpipe def does help with mpg. I went from 20.5mpg to 21.5mpg. And the increase in hp, can't complain.

From the office of shady...

I did extensive MPG testing with the stock cat in many different situations altitudes rpm levels ETC. I averaged out to about 22 hwy and 18 city.

So now I have the RP super cat on Ive over 1500 miles on it and i have seen no difference in MPG's.

Just changed my oil with that new Castrol Edge 2x 10w-30 and 2x5w-30 and replaced the oil filter with a PureOne oil filter. Think with your dipstick Jimmy!!
