[QUOTE="Marky Dissod, post: 27583, member: 13218"] If the exhaust system improves SCAVENGING ('back pressure'? In 2026, people still say 'back pressure'?) improves SCAVENGING at or under 3000RpM - if it improves part-throttle Volumetric Efficiency - then yes, a tune based off of realtime driving data would be advised. Long story short, if MpGs get worse, then you'd better get a tune where you send driving info back to the tuner (avoid mere mail order or canned/plug-in tunes), so that the tune can be refined specifically to recoup those MpGs. If the exhaust system improves MpG all by itself, congrats. [/QUOTE]
