MPG w/ new O/R X-pipe

[onefastgt]

Check my sig., I have 54 miles on trip odo. w/ just a froghair above 1/2 and my round trip commute is less than 8 miles. WTF.....Since the changeover to the SLP O/R X I've been gunning it alot more than usual. However, is this Normal for this Kinda swap, or is it due to my lead foot.....

that does seem kinda steep.i gun mine alot as well but i think i get alot more than 54miles to a half tank.mine is around the 160ish region.of course if you do alot of stop and go traffic and short drives like you are doin,it'll tend to use more,but i wouldn't think that much more!

That's about right. Bone stock, I could go in the neighborhood of 150 mile on the first half of a tank. If I drive right, I can squeeze 310 out of a full tank (with only 2 gallons to spare).

I just added a prochamber and a K&N drop in. I've only gone about 90 miles or so, but it's just below a 1/4.

I also just cleaned my injectors on Saturday, too.

If anything, an O/R midpipe should help your gas mileage. Everyone goes through the first tank of gas quick though after a midpipe install cause you are always gettin on the gas like there is no tomorrow. Sounds nice doesnt it!

its a fact of physics that the more horsepower you gain the more gas you use. have you had the car tuned yet? might be in your air fuel ratio but if anything I'd say you were running lean
