Sorry I didn't reply to this thread guys. 99% of my driving is not freeway but I was still getting awesome mileage in my 03 Golf on the same route.
I now have almost 18,000 on the car and things have gotten better but I am still only getting about 36 MPG. Yes I push on the pedal a bit but I...
I do enjoy driving it and it is super comfy inside. Its just with the amount I drive I needed the mileage to justify buying a new car. as for the fuel filler I have no idea what hey were thinking when they made the filler hole so small
This thing has ben a huge disappointment. My mileage went from about 42 MPG to between 31 and 33. I went from a manual 03 Golf to a Heavier car with DSG but I did not expect to loose this much in mileage

Nope, as long as you keep your foot out of it you usualy get 1-2 MPG better.. and your power and tork go up 50% or so... costs a little over a grand
and with teh 3", I can feel it spool a bit quicker but not a huge differance... not untill Im pussin more PSI

They are in need of some new tires, but for $250, Im stoked
And today... I had my boddies shop fab up a 3" Exhaust. It starts just in front of where the cat was and is straight pipe all teh way out. Its a tad bit loud but the...
