Drops a little , but not enough to worry about , think a lot of it is down to the right hand getting excited by the extra power and noise :lol:
 
When I flogged the TORs & put the standard ones back on temporarily, my consumption went up cos I was trying to make them sound louder :lol:
 
I saw no noticeable change in average MPG with just the full TORs upgrade with factory retune.

After more power upgrades though (air intake, Tuneboy)... it just kept dropping. I think I've settled in at about 26 MPG with my supercharger. :D
 
Like all the others have been saying...no change in fuel economy, but big change in riding pleasure. I run 87 octane fuel and average 32-34 MPG on the highway traveling 60-70 MPH. There is significant popping, however, with the pipes and factory tune. Upgrading to Tuneboy tune or PCIII will decrease or eliminate the popping, but the down side is slightly lower fuel economy as the tunes add fuel to the system at zero throttle position, or so I'm told. The extra power boost and attention getting sound is worth the lower economy. Besides, a 6 MPG reduction in fuel economy only costs you an additional $2.50 at fillup time, to go the same distance...worth the cost to me. 8)
