Mileage Mods?
I have a 10k mod and straight piped. I'm goin to do the 6637 mod soon but are there any other mods that will give me more mileage?

Downpipe, FPR shim, HPX (well, helps run smoother) with my mods in sig (and without chip) I can get about 18 at 75 and 20ish at 65... Hope this helps!

The HPX should in theory give you better mileage. A smoother running engine is a more efficient running engine right

the downpipe and a chip will be your next bigest steps in potential mileage gains
