Hey guys my firend told me that my exhaust was throwing out black smoke when i was flogging it. I am basically running super rick, and im getting pretty bad mpg. lol. What can i do, so that i dont run soo rich. Do you think a tune would help?

 

tune would def help I would imagine

 

How many miles on the car, maybe you need new spark plugs?

 

i have around 64k on my car. do you think my exhaust setup could be at fault? tanabe catback, stillen Hfc, n stillen y pipe.

 

lol im probably gona sell the y pipe this week. cars too loud and raspy fr my liking

 

Lol the raspy is from your hfc, most likely along with your black smoke

 

hmm i c. tht suks tho. the HFC gave me such good gains, i just dont want to take it out. lol

 

Then live with the rasp and smoke.

 

vivek

a tune will help with gas consumption if you are running rich

if you haven't changed the spark plugs in your car yet, you need to do that. Also, you need to do it before you get to 70K miles so that you can make sure you don't have the valve leak like a lot of people have had. It would be on the rear cylinders as you pull out the plugs. Go do this if you haven't. at 70K you are out of powertrain warranty and would have to pay for this out of pocket.

 

alright time to get new spark plugs. where should i buy them? off the dealer?
