I think I a way to improve my gas mileage DRASTICALLY! I will test it out tomorrow Im taking a 400m drive to pickup a used ampeg 8x10 cab. Im looking/ hoping for 15% improvement.
By the way. Been driving like a grandpa even though I DID drive through my share of 5:00 traffic and I averaged 16mpg. If the volvo chip and my "mod" gets me to 18 or 19 I will be shating bricks.

This is what I currently own and I love it. Plenty of sound, you can easily shatter windows and make people deaf. Paired with my SVT classic and my Rick it simply sounds amazing. What do you plan to drive through it?

there basically dummy o2's, theres a bypass wired in the circuit so the computer sees proper readings and the o2's are pretty much there to plug the hole. only time i had a problem was when i bottomed out and scraped the wire off at the solider joint lol.

I have about 100m left. I used a/c 75% of the time
Have another person with me and a 110-130 lb monster in the back.
Doing 70 on interstate and drove through 40 miles of city.
175m the needle was on the 3/4 mark
250m and the needle was on the half mark
325m and the needle I'd on the 1/4 mark.
This is looking REALLY GOOD.

I got 19.8mpg which is 2mpg over my max ever.
Y'all are going to hate this.
I Put a "different" filter on it.
That'd all FOR NOW
