    Default Need help ..!! how to get more MPG question

    I just picked up a Del Sol EG2 with a d15Z1 Vtec-e swap (Came from a Civic Vx). I will be using it as my as my new daily driver.
    I will be keeping it na and looking to save gas as much as possible.

    *My question is? Will I save more gas or get better MPG with a stock muffer and piping or an aftermarket and wider piping?

    Currently that motor gets roughly 45-48mpg City
    52-55mpg Highway


    Any advise or help will be great........thanks

    it doesnt matter either wau it will be about the same but keep in mind if u get a bigger ehxuast system you will tend to stomp the pedal more to hear the sound and in result lower mileage

    i say get the exhaust.. even if for nothing more than just aesthetics, lol the stock 1" exhausts look kinda funny

    plus i dont think it would make THAT big of a MPG difference.... i could be wrong though.

    lol...yea at first I could not believe it my self. ....Then I looked at various sites/reviews/ and Honda spec forums ...and I was like wow.
    But on the down side the motor is not quick at all but it is one of the most economical motor Honda produces unless you go get a true hybrid.
