yes...mine got better on my old car......its amazing how more HP makes you get better mileage...(less effort to get the car moving....less gas you have to use to do the same work it used to do)

of course...it does make you want to put your foot in it more.... which leads to going to the track...which leads to bad bad gas mileage...LOL

So gas mileage goes up eh?

Cool...another reason to justify headers....better gas mileage and easier to do plugs

Works for me
