    Took mine off the day after I bought it, don't know if it helps or hurts mileage but it looks better without it.

    IMO, the issue is the demand. Eliminate the demand, you eliminate the supply. If the shady auto wreckers were heavily fined for accepting these units without an actual legitimate vehicle serial # or metal recyclers accepting the contents of the CAT were fined and shut down I think this issue could be remedied.

    That's it LOL. Just thinking that about 80% of my driving is local highways to/from work, so if it's a BIG difference, that ould suck. if I still get like 19-20 on my otherwise stock truck, it's awesome.

    I average about 19-20 (hand calculated, don't trust what the truck tells you) and most of my driving is less than 10 mile trips. If I hit the highway it's a lot more :thumbsup:

    awesome. My truck says about 40 miles left until fill and I've gotten over 350 miles this tank. I'll be filling it up in another 20 and hand calculate my MPG based on how much gas goes in. Then I'll compare it to what the truck says. I'm not super concerned, just a numbers junkie.

    Why wouldn’t you trust the truck? I’ve done written calculations and compared them to a few different vehicles. Which I guess means I didn’t trust them either. Seriously though, trucks aren’t liars, they might be wrong, but they aren’t liars.

    Because of the hand calculations, what the truck said and what it actually was, I was lied too :rofl:

    That’s exactly what Oregon is doing, but Portland is right across the Columbia River from Washington so they would need to do the same. Specifically it is a law that prohibits scrap metal businesses from purchasing the converters except from a commercial seller. It would also require that scrap metal businesses retain the vehicle identification number and license number associated with the converter, making it easier to track.

    Yeah, I know about the composition of air, which is why I am questioning putting 20% more nitrogen in my tires than was already there and calling it a feature. :confused:

    A friend of mine just had her cat stolen from her Honda Element right in front of her office in broad daylight. They took about 3 feet of pipe, the cat and sensors. It has been a nightmare getting it fixed. I specifically came in here today to look for a way to prevent this happening to my truck, so thanks. :)

    It isn't, most of my driving is highway like yourself and I can't even tell if there was a difference or not. Larger tires and a lift knocked about 2 mpg off my best but the air dam made it take a minimal hit, if any at all.

    Air damn does make a difference on a stock ride height Tacoma of around %5-10 on highway. Once it's lifted they are pretty pointless as the under body is receiving plenty of airflow to introduce drag. Whereas stock ride height with air damn the underbody is mostly shielded from air flow.

    That makes sense, I've seen people say the lost about 1 mpg which would be around 5% for most people.

    Good info. I might pull it just to see how much of a difference it makes over a tank of gas. Then decide on keeping it off

    Trd pro grille. Raptor lights. License plate frame lol. Soon my red and black seat covers coming, then beefier tires for winter. Last will be brake calipers painted red. Wish there was a kdmax tune for 4 bangers
