Default Anyone get better gas milage with aftermarket exhaust?

Remember seeing someone claim they got 2 more mpg after putting the new forge exhaust on their TT. Is this a common thing when doing an exhaust or is it more likely do to the gas (MTBE, etc).

Default Yes.....That was me...>>

Same 900 mile trip and conditions...about 2 MPG better with the free'r flow Forge. I got better mileage after chipping too, but have since erased that with other mods.

I noticed an increase of about 0.2 mpg w/ my Milltek. Not huge but at least not worse.

Default I've seen it drop a little with the Borla, but . . .

that could be because I am driving it a little harder.

Default slight subjective increase in MPG with APR/APR in "everyday" driving...

...as if there is such a thing in a TT! : )

Your mileage may vary, especially if you start "enjoying " the mods to their potential!
