I'm with him.
4.8 longtubes cats and magnaflow with CAI and tune for 89
Filled up, cost $76, did the math and got 12.9 mpg, but I'm 90% city driving. Never really have gotten a change to test highway with the current setup. I know untuned I got 17 on the highway... My trucks a beast

Anyone wanna buy a truck??

I'll be looking into this as well if things dont get better before I get home from this deployment. Between my Silvy and her Hoe we will be broke!

My Avy gets 15-17 in the city, no mods. I have a corolla that I drive to work. I have to admit that I seem to be driving my truck less and less lately. AND I HATE THAT!!!!!!

I like the way it sounds. It's loud when you're on it, and not so much when you're cruising. Really throaty. Cheap fix too. I think it cost me 20 bucks to have them chop the stock muffler and weld in a piece of pipe.

As long as you still have cats, it really isn't loud at all. I've already decided to go with pacesetters and an ORY, so i'm going to have to put a muffler back on it soon. But, that shouldn't be an issue.
