Just use a broomstick to shove one of those tailpipe whistles way down inside his exhaust  pipe.

Just a rant....

My neighbors son purchased a bugeye WRX.... it has been modded.... along with an extremely load fart can...he drives through the neighborhood like a jackass...  he revs is up every time he passes my house so I get to hear his BOV and exhaust popping all day long since he doesn't work.... and he gives me the stink eye....


I was getting ice cream for the Misses a couple nights ago... on the way home I see his ass driving and we meet up at a red light and I'm in my SHO... he looks over... I figured with all his stink eyes and reving he would actually step up... NOPE... won't run me....

I did ask him on Facebook if he wanted to see what he could do at a racetrack... meet up and have some fun... maybe settle him down a bit... NOPE....

For the record he is 19...

End rant...

He got some money from the National Guard I believe and his dad paid for half. Could be wrong, but yea... not sure how that happened to begin with.

I think you are right!  Although I am currently running a bottle of Techron CP through the tank and mpg usually goes down a good bit during that time ...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

That why Ethanol is awesome... not for the MPG of course...

I actually just recorded my best-ever MPG this tank.... 21.7 MPG!  Previous best was 21.4 but that was all interstate driving.

(I'm attributing this to the consistently cooler temps, not fuel quality.)

I noticed after a couple hundred miles of highway driving I'm back up to 18.1 mpg for the time being!
I initially found it odd that in matter of a few days it dropped from 16.8 to 16.0 with mostly city driving which was a bit odd !
The SHO runs better and stronger than ever with absolutely ZERO Codes.  Z
