I wasn't being critical, but how many people really look into checking an obstruction in the middle of a pipe like this?

Hell, I know of guys that would stick limburger sandwiches inside the wheel well of GM cars when I worked for them many years ago

I don't see any other answer to your problem, bro

If you're sure, you're sure, though. Sometimes it's the obvious that we overlook. Just my , nothing more

I installed it and there was no problems with it. No problems before the exhaust, and the real answer is that his driving habits changed yet he says they didn't. Its crazy how taking off a little more aggressive than granny style can change the gas mileage that much. Maybe he he drives with his windows open, or a/c on?

I have to agree, when I installed my XLR8 non-res-the mileage took a dump. But after almost a year, I still get 23 MPG city and 30+ highway (highway driving accounts for about 65% of daily driving, and 112K on her) because the sound is awesome. Adding CAI did increase my MPG but only by 1-2 MPG.
