Default Another question for those of you with cutouts.
I was just curious as to how cutouts affect gas mileage on LS1 vehicles.

Negligible at best. I never noticed anything to either direction.

I haven't noticed any difference. I run mine open most of the time unless I'm on a long road trip.

mine dropped 15 mpg....





just had to be out of the ordinary...



honestly, it will probably decrease.. why? not because the car actually gets worse... but you wont be able to stop revving at people and getting on it..
