hiya guys i turn to you again for help! =) i was wondering if possibly any of you knew how an intake and custom catback exhaust would affect my gas mileage (possitively/negatively and how much roughly). I own a brand spanking new 7 days old newborn baby civic EX, she's a redhead!
any and all help would be greatly appreciated
thx again,
CN
I don't think it drops it that much... honestly, I couldn't tell ya... I've been getting horrible gas mileage latelydue to a 13-year old o2 sensor... man, I gotta replace that thing asap lol...anybody know approximate prices on a new sensor?
I think o2 sensors are like $100, dont quote me on that. Call a honda dealer close to you and check. As for the milage with bolt on mods, I think that its not going to change much either way but I do think that it will help because with the extra power you don't have to downshift and have your rpm's as high on like hills and things.

Honestly, if you would want to buy a modded civic with all the work done for you. I pity you, thats no Honda Enthusiast.
k thnx.. .thats pretty freakin expensivebut what can ya do? I mean, without a good o2 sensor, you get bad (horrible) fuel economy. Well, that, and my ricer light display (aka narrow-band air/fuel guage) isn't as much fun when the o2 sensor isn't good lol
dude i have CAI, DC 4-2-1 header, Magnaflow cat-back exhaust, and bunch of other crap but dude i went from 28mpg in town to32 mpg and 38mpg on highway to 43mpg w/those bolt ons. It helped me out alot. Thats with 9.2 gallons in my car. And I have a 11.2 gallon tank but I have NEVER had to fill it up past 9.6 gallons and that was on DEAD RED Empty. Also I have a d16z6 5spd.
EXHAUST/INTAKE and mpg!
