If I drive to and from work and nothing else I can make it fortnightly but usually I have to go to the other side of town and get dinner for the family so usually all the small trips add up
But is your fuel any better with your exhaust system? I've been told with the exhaust system it's Easyer in fuel if you can resist nailing it every where

It's 7km from my place to work and my fuel econ is 12.7 so if I drive slowly and not race people for some reason it lasts for two weeks (f**k logic)

I get low on fuel in a week if I nail it to work on the bridge I can usually do 180 by the end and do the same on the way home and take every corner flat out trying to get smoke flying but that's when I can get my fuel light on in roughly 5days so I just take it easy

Well my fuel usage is at 10.6 at the moment. Have yet to notice a difference, mostly because I haven't even used a quarter tank of fuel lol

But as with all power mods, if you can resist the urge to floor it all the time, you will get better fuel economy. I could get it as low as 9 around the city if I babied it, but that's boring...

Oh of course lol it's already breathing nicely, and that's only with the Big Mouth. Can't wait to see it with the growler. Going to going a 3" stainless pipe to go to the throttle body, heat wrap it as well as the headers. It's already heating up the engine bay quite a fair bit, so hopefully next Saturday I have it all done.

I like the look of everything on show but like you said the engine bay gets realy hot and it's just to risky in this heat to let things get to hot

thats not too bad for headers/cat/catback all fitted... though it is hurricane, not that i have heard bad things about them. but they dont have the reputation of say xforce or pacemaker... but yeah i would defs give it a go. but then again im not really one for brand names...
