with my old setup (flow master delta flow 50 single 3'' in, and dual out 2.5'', and stock cats 145k miles on them muffler around 60k. I rant a 16.6ish with the 20s) then resently i was getting at most 325 miles per tank.

new setup (magnaflow big body single 3'' in single out 3'' out, magnaflow high flow cats, asp pulley set. I ran a 15.4 in the 1/4 with the 20s... ) well my milage came back to a better high around 430 miles on a tank... I do plan on throwing some new sensors when I get some headers...
