ORY MPG question :) Hey all, have a 99 T/A with a custom built LM system... stock Y, etc. - I, more than anyone I know like "loud" - right now, I still don't consider it loud... so naturally I was thinking ORY - (I'm in a country with no smog) - my question is, however, naturally, with gas being so absurd... how much MPG gain could I get with the ORY?
(I figure it'll be some gain, since cats are so restrictive...) every one I have ever pulled and looked at, you can't even see through, so they HAVE to be big time restrictive...
anyway any thoughts?
Thanks!!!!

hmm 1-2? dont chop your cats off. get LTs ory and call it a day. you are going to destroy your stock exhaust and might not like how it sounds in the end. id say leave it alone or get the slp factory ory. not worth it imo.

thanks! - ok, I was hoping say if I did get 2mpg, driving 40-50 miles per day... with gas at $4.45 which is is here... that ORY would pay for itself in a few months
unfortunately, I cant buy LT's right now, they're just so expensive these days.
I think you would be pushing it at 2, the stock cats really are not that restrictive on a stock setup with stock manifolds on the car. If anything I would think you might loose a little MPG because it will throw the stock tune off a little bit. But it will make it a little bit louder if that is what your going for

Wow, I take it none of you have ever done this... 2 mpg is correct, thats exactly what I gained (17-19 on my daily commute) when I bought a Bassani ORY a few years ago.
The stock Y-pipe and cats are very restrictive and I was told that just an ORY (with stock manifolds) is good for about 10hp- and yes, thats with the stock tune. I dont have a before/after with just the ORY, but when the stock motor was pulled it made 322/333 to the wheels (128K miles-Lid, ORY, catback).
