I stand by my statement that a high flow low back pressure exhaust like a magnaflow WILL save fuel.

It would be great to see some actual experimentally valid information on the subject, because this is one of those topics that perpetually comes up. |

With all due respect, statements are a dime a dozen.
Quality data is what most people here would prefer to see. |

And there is a MAJOR discrepancy, the one article says 2.6% improvement (background noise for the type of test they did) and your picture shows a 25% improvement in some cases.
The picture is complete bullcrap, guaranteed. If you want to be taken seriously, be more careful with your research.

Maybe the claims are valid, but we have no way to judge them without the testing details. |

I read your good short post and your fuel log. It looks like you might have experienced a dip in FE after the new pipe, but maybe not. Clear it up for me? If you did install the pipe you estimated... any indication of how it has performed?
