Less rotating mass less strain on engine less gas

That has a lot to do with the way you drive too. If you lead foot it, you're always going to get poor MPG. I got 36 MPG consistently from California to Ohio, and that was with approx 600 lbs of stuff in the car! It all depends on driving style, rotational mass, and tune and less to do with exhaust. The UDP's would be an okay choice, however they can be an unnecessary cost if you plan on doing any mods later. If you go with lightweight pulleys and A/C delete, you will see some more gains, and you can go performance mods later. The Aluminum driveshaft will be an okay choice as well b/c again you are reducing the rotational mass of the drivetrain. Cams may be a good choice to add into the mix as well, just have some cams custom ground for a shorter durration and don't mash the gas. I personally vote for the AL DS.

I'd go with the UDP strictly based on cost. You have to realize that none of these listed will change your mpg drastically, so it's going to take a shit ton of miles for it to actually pay for itself.

Considering you have a tuner I think out of the three, the exhaust.

Clearly the people saying don't worry about saving gas must be millionaires, but in that case why do you drive non-specialty stangs? He wouldn't have started this thread if he didn't care...Anyone and everyone who drives a car should try to get the best MPG out of their gas tanks, while for us stangers not losing in the power department. Gas is expensive, and if you're a tree hugger it's bad for the bunnies and douglas firs as well.

jts how do you know gas is going to go down more? i wake up and it's like a guessing game to go down to the gas station and see if it went down or up. it has been going down then up in my area for a while now. whose to say that it is going to go down more. i must say that i am very concerned with mpg's and that i feel like from experience that the udp will help the best. when i got them i could tell about 2-3 mpgs dif. but like it's already been stated. the way you drive tells alot.

psh gas may have went down 25-30cent in your area. that bitch dropped only about a dime over here.
i dont care who you are, gas is an issue |
