Better or worse gas mileage with Lts

I'll be putting on my Jethot Lts / no cats, on Thursay and I was wondering if I'll be getting better gas mileage or worse?

To be honest, you probably won't see much of a difference. It shouldn't get any worse though. If it drops significantly, check your plug wires for burns...

only difference youll get is the extra power might make it so you dont have to downshift going up hills on the highway as much, which in turn gets better milage. this is what i noticed...27mpg last trip.

I got better. I used to get 28 mpg on the highway, but I got 32 mpg (no ****) coming back from my job in NC after I put them in.

In town was not noticeable.

Might as well put some new 02's in there since you got to take your old ones out anyways.

Also, OTVC wires are a good addition at this point too, but budget some extra time for them since they are a total PITA

Not on the first tank since you'll be ripping on it. I probably only got 11MPG that tank
