Anyway less MPG was expected and no real surprise.
Everything below 3,000 rpm feels stock...can't feel any real difference. From 3,000 rpm up, you really start feeling a most definite kick in the rear. Break in cut off is 4,500 rpm and really have to be careful not to exceed that as the RPM's run up a lot quicker than before...real quick! Can't wait till I can really open it up.
As for a word to the wise...installation is a solid 10 hours with a bit more for head scratching if S/C is going on an OBD2 (instructions were geared toward OBD1 though they have since fix some of those things). There's still some questionable area's in the instructions but all were easily sorted with a little research. Originally had a few fault codes after first start up but they all disappeared after about 30 miles worth of driving. A low idle issue corrected itself. Car now runs perfect.
