on the 6 the cats help with back pressure so you get more low end tq, witch helps with gas millage, particularly in the city. and DGT i would say either go with the ud's or the aluminum DS. not sure which will help more but i would go with which ever you can get cheaper. |

I have no idea but i do know that for every 100 pounds you take off a car you gain about 1 MPG.

pulleys if anything since the engine will be running less items which means less gas needed to accelerate the car at partial throttle but dont expect much gain in mpg

its is a sixxer but like everyone else i want to get the most out of my car, looks like UDP pulleys FTW,
just for a reference, i actually found the three piece set of UDP, everywhere else i kept finding two pulleys but here is a three peace, will these work? JET Performance 90151 - JET Performance Underdrive Pulley Kits - summitracing.com edit* i already have a tuner, thats why its not listed.

get long tubes with dual 3inch pipes no cats or mufflers no back pressure at all and see if you get a performance gain. low end power will be horrible so will mid range and even top end cause thats way to much the more back pressure you have the better your low end but top end will suffer less back pressure is the opposite. so you want something in between
