Silencer Ring effect mpg

[Archive]

Question, can you get better milage without the silencer ring? If so why would I keep it? Can anybody help me out on this question?

It has no effect on MPG, it just let's you hear the whistle of the turbine as it spools up. If anything, you'll rev the engine higher and actually waste more fuel, but the sound is definitely worth it. Real, big-rig, whistle.

Dropping the silencer ring definitely makes the ride more enjoyable... sounds really #ad
when you step on it... but your mileage may actually drop slightly because of more frequent pedal pounding...
otherwise it shouldn't change.
