What sort of road noise did this cause? Also, could you tell a difference in MPG?

Road noise was definetly there... Not enough to upset me and mpg was slight in my 2005 Honda Pilot (1-2 mpg's)

I could hear the wind hitting it as we drove but it wasn't very loud or obnoxious. It also made me feel better hearing it because I knew it was still up there and the straps were doing their job. As for MPG, it maybe lowered it by 1or 2 but not much and I didn't really make any great difference at the pump.

This is not a quiet muffler. People would try to race me at red lights. It sounded great at an idle, but the minute you hit the gas it was just too loud. Maybe over 100db. The drone was mind-numbing. I couldn't even enjoy my radio. I would recommend a Walker SoundFX before I would recommend this one. I always feared getting a ticket, everywhere I would go I was disturbing the peace, during the DAY. I pulled it off the car after 4 weeks in favor of a quieter high-performance muffler from Borla, and I love it. As far as this muffler is concerned, don't do it!

I'm guessing I've lost 1-2 mpg maximum for highway cruising, but it's hard to say for certain. I'll have to take it off for a week or two and see if there are any improvements. I positioned mine as far back as possible as to allow most the air to go over and not hit the rack directly as much. As for noise, I couldn't tell a difference, mainly because my AT tires are so loud. Good Luck.

We didn't notice whether it was noisy because we kept it outside while camping. Sorry I can't tell you more.

Sorry, but I can't give you an answer because I'm not sure if they are adding any dampening to my toyota 2003 Echo. Road noise is still quite noticeable even with the windows tightly closed.

If you have your radio off and dead silence in the vehicle you can hear a slight whistle while cruising at highway speeds. When you get on the gas hard you get a nice v8 throttly sound almost like you have exhaust.

I did not really notice a big difference but I never had much of an issue like that on this vehicle. Definite difference in sound though.

lol maybe like 1 mpg avg . another thing is lost bottom end power but gained mid -high. I guess its got something to do with how the comp is programmed for stock intake diff air /fuel mix. im goin to try programmer to see if mpg improves.

I did notice a difference, especially pulling the 5th wheel camper. I went from about 8 mpg to 15 mpg with my 6.0 HD

At lower rpms if lugging the engine it has a low drone that is unpleasant. But a quick blip of the accelerator will downshift and its normal. I have no issues with it an I do not like engine noise.

its really weird that I got this question today. Up until about 3 days ago it was perfect. People could hear from quite a distance. Now in the car people cannot understand what I'm saying. Its very sensitive but it seems like you're not blocking noise. Its not blocking noise. I was thinking of calling them to find out what was up. Been real disappointed lately period last 3 4 days

Keep your foot out of it and don't make that sound. I drive as if it's not there unless I need the power and I gained 2-3 mpg over stock

Maybe a minor MPG increase but not enought to brag about. I think it depends on your cruising speeds. Most roads I travel are 60-70mph and get between 16-17.5 MPG. I receive 18-19MPG when traveling 45-55. I noticed a slightly improved response after installation but don't expect a race truck. The sound slightly improved...mostly from Borla Exhaust.

Hi...i had a different problem...my sound was like the pads were glued in the rotors after some breaking times the noise went away. I keep the kit installed and this noise disappeared after couple months of use but this disappointed me. I expect a better performance but its a nice kit!

I don't know man. I didn't experience that when I used this filter. Maybe you did some really hard driving or perhaps there was already a lot of crud in the engine.

sorry, the one we have has not made any unusual sounds. Do you have pets? If yes, could it be hair around wheels? Or if its a motor bad sound, I'd consider returning the item. Sorry, best luck

I have not experienced the noise.. Look closely to see if thread or string has wrapped around the axle of the wheel.
