That is pretty good. Did you forget you are lowered so much and cambered out, so you lose gas mileage?Originally Posted by Conissah

LOL. I think it's because I don't drive highway much, and my right foot tends to be a bit heavy. Now that I think about it, camber should equal more MPG since it's less rolling resistance.Originally Posted by Urbanengineer

I go up there 1-2 times a year. One of my sons lives in Crescent Springs, the other in OTR. Originally Posted by Urbanengineer

Worst tank on the trip was 25.7. Rest were 27.0, 27.5, 26.7 and 26.4. Not too shabby, about 1-1.5 mpg better than last trip.

He's living in the Ghetto.... or at least what used to be! Now it's a roaring brewery den all around and lots of places getting gentrified.

Yes it is and thanks, trying to source plenum locally so i can get it powder coated. Had the hardest time trying to remove the coolant line from the back of the plenum so I gave up but now I have a coolant leak back there smh.Originally Posted by Blue Dream

Washed my car after the long road trip and checked my oil. That's after 2300 miles on an engine with 146k miles.

Went ahead and got the Circuit Werks resonated Y-pipe, didn't get home until 4 pm so headed immediately to the local muffler shop to have them put it on ($30) so I didn't take a picture when I opened the box and forgot to get one with the car on the lift so a stock image has to do:

Just couldn't see spending an additional $200 or so for the Motordyne even though I'm sure it may make a couple extra HP. Plus they got a nice chunk of change from me anyway via the Art Pipes and plenum spacer! And the eBay store selling the y-pipe was local so ordered yesterday, UPS delivered it today.
Anyway, dramatic reduction in sound between 2000-3000 rpm where I was getting some drone, especially on throttle tip in (like going uphill) and overall it is noticeably quieter while still sounding pretty damn good when you get on it. Nice welds, smooth bends. Noticeably higher quality all around compared to the Beluga Racing Y-pipe I initially bought.

This certainly has a better sound to it, rather than the whale exhaust pipe!
Looks nice.

I wonder if they use piping of the same wall thickness, or if there's much difference between their resonators...Originally Posted by Scottwax
