Any noticeable decrease in fuel economy? I've been getting 44 - 47 mpg
with the stock pipe, which means I get the low fuel light at about 210 miles.
Sounds like I might need one, too, though I'm leaning toward stainless just
'cause I don't really go for the CF look. We'll see how the fundage looks when
mine goes in for 6k service and new tires next month - just in time for the
Rallye in August! On that note, any observations on running a D207 front tire
with a D205 rear? I had thought about it, then noticed on the website that
y'all have tried it already.
TIA,
