Can you PM me or will there be an forum announcement?
Well the GB with Carson is the cause of that...

I currently have a batch in production and they should be done in that time frame...

I'm sure Carson will have an announcement..

I don't think we'll see a GB for awhile.

No it does not. The only thing that is going to affect gas mileage is your driving habits.

I was measuring 1hp differences consistently while swapping back and forth with a OEM secondary emissions filter in the airbox lid with the 1hp being favored with the carbon emissions filter in place. As for after market drop in filters that I have tested including Blitz and HKS, there are no gains in power compared to a OEM filter with thousands of miles on it. Seemed like a no brainer.

Don't be surprised if you feel no change at all and your gas mileage stays the same. The OEM tube isn't that bad, in fact, it's pretty darn good for an OEM piece.

That's funny...
No disrespect here, but MANY CL Members feel the change over from the OEM tube..

However, I agree that gas mileage is a driving habit.

As I said many times... I would NOT make this pipe if there was NO benefit from installing it..

In general, I know sometimes its hard being a believer, until you actually try something out.

Thank You
