ok... its been a few tanks of gas since the install and well ive noticed a bit more power but nothing crazy... but the gas mileage issue. this is weird the first tank i got 27.68 mpg then the next tank i got 30.97 mpg... the reason why i find this weird is that on the first tank i ran it really easy... then the second tank i drove with more of a lead foot so i thought my mpg would be at least reversed for the two... if anyone is interested ill post my mpg for the next couple tanks

pics would be worthless you can barely see it from the top of the engine bay... its shaped like the letter L and it comes straight off the throttle body past the battery then bends and sticks down behind the front bumper

Thats what I think. and if it is adjusting and you were running it hard, imagine what you mpg would be if you didn't
