I said your mileage may vary because we all don't experience the same
increase/decrease in horsepower after installing the same part because of
existing configuration. For example, I had headers and a cat back then got
the 2 1/2" Y pipe for a nice increase.
If someone installs that same Y pipe in the same truck without headers or
cat back they might (will) experience something different because they have
more back pressure.

Joel, When you say "milage may vary", did tour MPG go down? Bob
