More airflow = more fuel. What did you expect?

Exhaust upgrades allow more air to flow out, the only way to make mpg worse with them is to step on the gas more cause you like the sound

Yeah that's wrong. Exhaust upgrades help in gas mileage. OP is probably driving harder then normal.

No reason for that is there?

Did you also 'didn't read rules'?

Otocan grow up and have some damn tact. Clearly you are younger and have some issues to work on. With this economy, every mile counts when you are spending $60 a pop. We are a community of friends here that share a common bond. There are no room for asses here.

Don't speak for anyone, but yourself. Cause in actuality, nobody gives a shit about your opinion. Buy a brain, bag.
