Awful gas mileage with JWT Pop Charger & z tube

Ok so nobody told me that I will want to make this intake get loud any chance I get. I seriously go out of my way to get the rpms up to a nice growl EVERYWHERE. I'm becoming one of those drivers I always made fun of that rev their engine way too much. I'm sure this is destroying my MPG.

Anyone else addicted to the sound? Is there a 12 step program to cure me?

I actually prefer driving with my windows down much more frequently in hot Tampa Florida just to get a taste of my sweet sweet addiction.

get an HKS full exhaust and you'll want to cut your top off to hear that sweet sound!

No doubt, wait till your exhaust is done. I usually have all 4 windows and my sunroof open

Well maybe not that extreem (top off) but when you combine intake, MD spacer and the HKS exhaust it not only adds sound but RWHP too....
