3) do you have any difference with milage ?
Thanks and again great job

I've got a couple of hundred miles on the exhaust now, so I believe I'm in a better position to answer your questions.
1 - Hardly noticeable at all. If the radio is on, which it is all the time, I can't tell the difference. Let me qualify that response though - the before against which I am judging the after was an exhaust system full of holes.
2 - No I didn't measure the difference before and after - except I can tell you that spitting on the hot pipe will sizzle and stink just the same. A strickly non-scientific measurement.
3 - I have noticed a lot better mileage, but again I must qualify that response. The before had an increadibly clogged tank filter (see my other posts) and the majority of the after from which I am making my assessment was without a functioning a/c compressor clutch (again, see my other posts).
I have noticed a lot better performance and would do it again in a heart beat.
