check engine light

And also i was talkin to a mechanic and he told me you will use more gas..is that true?

I've run 2 Mustangs and my Camaro with the check engine light after exhaust mods...and never noticed a difference.

First....get it scanned to see why the light came on. It could be unrelated. AutoZone can scan it for free. And yes it can increase fuel consumption and worsen emissions. It all depense on why the light came on and how the computer is compensating.
