Smashed tail pipe = better MPG's?
Recently based my tailpipe into a rock. I noticed a decrease in performance, but an improvement in MPG's. Before the smashed pipe, I was averaging 13.5 MPG's. Now, I'm between 15.5-16.3 MPG's.
I guessing it has to do with the back pressure? Will keeping my tailpipe this way harm my engine?
