Arrow Guys with Cutouts, Inside please...

ok well I got my dmh cutout put in and everything went perfect, and I LOVE the sound! all of my friends and I grin ear to ear! love it love love it

But one thing I noticed is my gas seems to be freaking draining soooo fast....

My question is........when you drive around all day with hardly any backpressure, and cutout open, does this mean the engine uses more gas?

I do not think ive been driving it out of my normal driving style (which is pretty hard on the car)........ and its been about a week and some how i manage to go through a tank every 3 days.... i used to make it 5 or 6....

When you drive around with your cutout open, do u notice a difference in gas mileage?

I gained milage with it open, maybe you are getting on it more just to hear it or something. I always loose milage right after a mod because I am getting on it more to test things out. Just a thought!

it's true, driving habits seem to change when you like the sound of your car...
