Default Better MPG with exhaust?

I was wondering if anyone noticed better gas mileage with the TRD exhaust.

I have not had a chance to hear one yet. I was wondering if it was super loud inside. My car with the stock exhaust is soooo quiet. I like a little sound but not super loud.

So is it that loud in the car? I heard a sound clip of a guy that had it on his car. But he also had an intake and it was super loud!

At highway speeds in 5th gear it is not loud at all. I don't even hear mine once I set the cruise control.

As far as it being loud inside the car. I only really hear it during acceleration and in lower gears. Once I hit 4th gear it starts to quiet down.

I know all to well what you mean. I noticed it today I was like man I burned through a half a tank of gas in like 2 days. I need to ease up on the acceleration. Cuz I'm totally in love with the sound.
