Before i had my exhaust done i was pulling 24ish on the Hw at 75 and about 19 in town, after i had the 3rd cat and the y-pipe redone i am now getting 28-29hw and 24 in town.
I am extremely pleased with these numbers compared to what they were.

the reason for the good gas mileage is arodynamics.
From wikepedia
Extensive modeling and wind tunnel tests resulted in a low drag coefficient for a conventional production vehicle of the time (Cd 0.29).

There are two y-pipes in the exhaust system. Which one did you have replaced? And by redone, do you mean you removed the 3rd cat?

damn how do u guys get that high mpg. on a trip to six flags in jersey and back in my 94 i got 18mpg and thats the highest iv every gotten. on average i get around 14mpg with about half highway/city. but i do drive on the aggressive side tho lol. anything else to maintain other than spark plugs, air filter, oil? ohh idk if this would help but i did a muffler delete on the car also.
