Re: Fuel consumption and performance
got any more info on this on? i.e. if you don't mind telling all, how much did it set you back? and does it make much extra noise?[/quote]
Sorry mate, mine was free! Mercury mufflers used my car for the pattern so they can mass produce bolt on parts. They have wharehouses in Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia. Look them up on the net or in the yellow pages and they can give you a fitter to supply (or fit) the parts in your area. I was a bit dissapointed that there is no extra exhaust noise, but I've had louder exhausts on other cars and was sick of having ringing ears ofter a long trip. So I guess that this is a blessing in disguise. You can only just hear the exhaust under hard acceleration with the drivers window down.
I did another milage test the other day with 100% city driving 4000klms after oil change and using Volume Plus diesel which is blended with biodiesel, I did 1341klms. I filled the tank which took 166L so I probably could have gone maybe another 100k's. What sort of milage is everyone else getting? I would be interested to hear what milage other people are getting. If I'm getting 10% better fuel economy the cost of the exhaust could have been recovered in maybe 10 refills. (And the extra stomp under the right foot isn't bad either)
