Whats the explanation/logic for the increased fuel efficiency? Combustion takes place in the engine so how does changing the muffler help increase your fuel economy???????
Think of your engine as an air pump. The more difficult the pathway for that flow of air is, the less efficient it is. So in theory, if there is less back pressure in the system, (e.g. free flow exhaust), the engine should be more efficient, and therefore.....higher gas mileage!
