I just did a big bore 95" and a Andrews gear drive. On my 03 EG. I just know the mpg sucks but so what. I like the added power and I have not even opened it yet. I hate brake ins. New year to All. Al

When I first got mine, I was obsessed with MPG. From 40 - 42. I never check it anymore. Is it really that important????

I installed my TTS last weekend (V&H straightshot/quiet baffle, stage.1 a/c), did some tuning runs, and got 46. My setup is changing, and I may drop a little bit....

Good. If I buy you a gallon will you hit the highway for a while?

I get 30 MPG in city, and like 38 highway with thunder headers, PCIII and AN big sucker. Thunder header suggest you run the pipe a bit more rich, I guess to increase power maybe? Not sure..
