You will have crappy gas mileage.
Nothing you can do.

Just try to reset ECU.

i think it has something to do with your shitty spelling and grammar. id try to fix that as a first priority. and if it doesn't help the gas milage, well, it can't hurt.

since you put a catback, your car breathes out more air... the ecu compensates by adding more fuel to try and keep the same air/fuel ratio...

more air = ecu adding more fuel = more hp

a little lower gas mileage is a small price to pay for more hp...

I redline my car every day and shift at 4000rpm everywhere I go.

I get average 33mpg, with intake and catback also.

ROFL you guys are just mean. But yeah...that first post made my head hurt. And there is no way you should be getting 10mpg. (60 miles and over half a tank of gas) You may wanna check if someone siphoned your gas.

If I put my silencer back on mah exhaust... it would give it a smaller outlet.. which gives it less air flow.. would that save gas??

Aw, did you not do so well in freshman English, either? Anyway, you're right. Not everyone care's about spelling and/or grammar. That actually works out nicely though. I mean, if everyone was smart and motivated, we'd probably fall to the communists.

I have a theory that the increase in the amount of people using the internet - emails and instant messaging - has contributed to the digression of our spelling. Initially misspelling words so they can converse faster, but then becoming so use to it that they begin to write like that on term papers etc.

Now let me spell check this before I submit, for fear of looking stupid
