X2.... People have a misconception when it comes to putting on new exhaust and intakes. Your computer is setup to run factory settings, I.E. Exhaust, stock tires etc. Just adding exahaust won't improve MPG. Yes, it flow better and cleaner but it has to be working in conjunction with other factors....

before CAI and exhaust I think that I was getting about 17.5 or so, maybe I will go back to stock intake.
