It clicks and clucks along like a charm....Also just got a new 2 1/4" exhaust from the rear catalytic convertor back.....It helps, trust me-

I'm guessin that the fire breathing monster comment was saying i thought the 300 had tons of power. lol. I know they don't cause i've had 4 300s, but it's got nothin.How many mpgs were you getting b4 the tune up?
