    Aftermarket Parts?

    Col.if you change to a K & N filter system,and a FLOWMASTER muffler you should see at least 1/2 mpg increase in fuel mileage.Dont mess with the throttle body but you can get a tuner for your ECM.If you do a tuner,they claim you can get as much as 3 mpg increase,but I dont believe it.Most the...
