before the Dak I had a 3/4 ton Ferd with a 460 and 4.11s. it was an
extended cab long bed 4x4. in the 12 years and 87,000 miles we had it,
it crested 10 MPG *twice*
usually it was 8 and change.
I'll bet the freer cat-back did gain milage, and that you don't want to
know what it was before...
as an aside, you wouldn't loose much flow going to a Magnaflow muffler,
and would probably get a bit more legal in the sound department ;-)
