Joe, I had a generation 1 PowerVault catback exhaust and then switched to a Custom exhaust with 2.5 Stainless Steel pipes all mandrel bent and tig welded into Magnaflow cats into a Single 3” in Dual out MagnaFlow XL Muffler with dual 4" resonated tips.
JHarris1385, Gas mileage sucks. I get about 200 miles on a tank full... then again I drive pretty fast all the time.

How is mpg compared to non supercharged?
Super VXer
I am not sure... it has been so long.
Super VXer
My experience has been...
S/C + 33's = 11-13 mpg around town / 16 - 18 hwy.
S/C + 32's & stock rims = 12 -14 mpg around town / best ever 23 mpg hwy.
Stock...no data available, memory good, but short.
I've got kind of a heavy foot...your results may vary.

OK I am non sc'd When I 1st got it it was 19 mpg and averaged 18-19 not sure on hwy I drive 25 miles to work and dont really pay attention to gas because have to fill up anyways.
I know I prolly need a tune up seeing that I am about hit 80k now I am getting between 14-16. i dont have that heavy of a foot off teh get go because need tune up but I do kinda go in excessive speeds some reason I think my needle is broken because it stays @ 80... except when I am in town.
but taht is what I get now stock. Well actually when i bougth mine it had aftermarket air filter with box off.

As Cyrk preparing to do, I think some fuel regulation and EM to manage the air/fuel mixture will also add some more on the spot boost, so that could be a plus. Couple all of that with a nice hi-flow exhaust and we could quite possible break the sound barrier, heh.
Cyrk is turning out to be a good guinea pig for my plans since he seems to think along the lines I do, heh. He gets all his work done and I am gonna keep my eyes open for how the tranny handles it all.
Cyrk, you da' man!
