I have read that if you have a Berk high flow cat, that it does improve gas milage. Can anyone confirm this.......Uhhh Dean comes to mind
i think he has one. This may be my next purchase.
I have one, but I can't comment on its effect on gas mileage. I haven't kept track of mileage with the S for a year or two.

I decided to save gas while driving the S in the summer that I would stop using the air conditioner when I'm driving with the top down. It is quite a sacrifice, but I'm trying to do my part to economize.

I also have a Greddy eManage Ult., header, and a few other doodads on the car that I change around from time to time which makes tracking MPG difficult.
Did you end up with the SuperSprint exhaust?

FWIW, the Berk HFC pairs with the SS exhaust very well - very nice sounding, or so Martha tells me.
