Also do you have a 3" catback? You're missing out on a lot of low end....

Yes I do have a 4th gen...no its not a 6spd. I'm bolted on obx v2 headers, Megan racing 2.5" catback, which is ghetto straight piped. Ghetto build short ram intake.

1. Do you have a high flow cat? If so, how well would it work?
2. does the fact that my sensors are not connected (both header sensors, cat removed) have anything to do with it? Also, to install my v2 obx headers, I had to deleter the egr. Could that have affected it in any way?

What can you get total tank?

And thanks!! I miss my car and it's great MPG, I hope I get somewhere near the same w/ the 3.5L

I get like 250 to the tank mostly city, just did a 340 mile trip to Vegas, and still had like another 15 miles till Gas light came on mostly was doing like 75-80 and a couple times 90-100 I know if I keep it straight 70mph would do way better but **** would take like 5 hrs something instead of 4hrs.....

Im getting like 17mpg city and 24 highway, but I don't drive the speed limit before with precats I was only getting like 200-210 to a tank

Alot comes into play the rims weight, your suspension if your front end floating, noise diving on braking, Motor moving front to back to much **** for the best MPG.....
