Why do Tacomas get poor gas mileage $

I wonder how much different it would sound if I just eliminated the resonator in front of the muffler .you'd still have the stock muffler from TRD but get rid of the extra back pressure.

And use the slide over muffler clamps in case u had to put it back on .and just cut a stainless
2.5 or 2.25 piece of pipe .Ill have to look into that .

It would probly sound better.....wonder if eliminating it would improve or hurt engine performance.

I don't think it would it should breathe better.if u look at the front y-pipe it runs 2 pipes into 1 and they are D shaped back to back then welded into a 2.25 single my buddy said we should make it a smoother transition with a normal Y.he could make one up .

It would be a good test to do.....

If you could replace this 2 ft section and make better flow ? Better flow better horsepower

I figure with all the research that went into these crazy computer ran motors, they'd be set up as good as it gets from the factory. But then people swear by the OV tune.

On my 69 SS 396 Chevelle my exhaust ended about where the rear seat started. Only had a set of headers on it and those tiny round Thrush header mufflers that came with a header mount. No tail pipe at all. I needed to let the Holley 780 dual line breath.

I have no resonator just a huge ass muffler!

Any difference in tire wear going up to 38psi?

My tires seem to wear better at 38 or 39 than they do at 35-36.

24 on highway l

 

[Tacklebox21]

Thats good. I can sometimes get up 24mpg on the highway after 25 min drive but 5 mins on interstate and it start to drop fast. 25 min drive on interstate at 78mph on cruise im lucky to get 18mpg

I dont get much highway time. Granted I take Interstate 14 to work, but it's only about 5 miles. I still average 18 to 19 mpg regularly.

 

[Cape taco]

And I'm always poking the reset button on the right side of the steering wheel to see the average .drives my wife crazy lol!
