That suck about the header rubbing. Quick question how bad did the gas mileage go down?

Approximately 12-15% decrease in fuel "economy". Still believe that the tune has issues, plus the oversized tires, are def hurting mileage and performance.

I would agree on the tires - i just put Nitto 420s 305/50/20's on mine rcsb with 5.3 and it made a noticeable difference and not in a good way. I think i'll be adding gears next because of them. But they look badass
