6thG fully stocked boltons gas milage
What are you guys getting on a tank loaded with the boltons. Specifically an AEM (original) intake, DC header and a GReddy Evo catback.
I've noticed that (I had a full tank when i put on the Evo) that my gas milage has gone down a lot. Like A LOT. I've been revving my shit and driving a little more spiritied just to hear it (that'll subside, like the intake did). I'm just wondering what you guys get on an average (mixed driving, 70% city) on a full tank. Denote the grade of gas, too please.

I drive on 87octane with an AEM CAI, highflow cat, custom exhaust, denso plugs, crane came wires, and I get about 350-380miles on a full tank. if your mashing on the gas more, that explains why your milage is going down.

after i hit the rock, my mileage is decreasing, i think this week im down to 10mpg. what i tihnk happened is that it collapsed my headers so it has 50% decrease in exhaust flow, but it also leaks exahust so that means im losing back pressure, i need a new engine...

i've got the AEM V2, DC header, GReddy EVO catback...i got about 22.3 mpg the last time i filled up...i think i got close to 300 out of the tank which is really good because i do mostly city driving and my car lives above 4500 most of the time...every green light i punch it...when im driving on the highway im at 80-105mph so my rpms are up in the 3-4500 range anyway so that doesn't help much haha

You answered your own question. If you get mods and drive spirited you'll get crappy mileage. If you don't have mods and still drive spirited you'll get crappy mileage. If you drive normal then some mods will help your gas mileage. Simple don't be driving like its the last lap at Monza and your car won't want gas every so often.
