4.5 Exhaust

My lord how do you people afford to pay for that! $250 bucks to only get 600k. Id probably just cry.

Edit, just thought about if, i carry 150 litres petrol/gas and get about 500k so i guess im on the same wave length. But its cheaper than above statement.

Mate i'm bog stock with a'/t's and no LPG, when i first got the truck it was getting 4.5km/ltr after running 4 tanks (120ltrs including sub) of 98RON i adjusted my TPS and timing to get around 6.5km/ltr. I also change my plugs and filters every 10k and just done my leads. I just came back from a 2,000km trip and the best i got was 7.5km/ltr, i'm hoping to get close to 8.5 or 9 with the exhaust untill i turf the 4.5. Can i ask you, is your exhaust very loud?? And does it drone on the freeway?? Just so i know what to expect after i make mine.

What is this a "whose got the worst economy" thread???

Or we could call it " 4.5 and penny less club" lol

My average is about 350-400 out of combined 100L gas petrol. Only got a pipette for a petrol tank. Costs me about $25 per 100km.

My 4.5L achieves

Gas 105 Litres Useable 580 K's 18L/100K's
Petrol 35 Litres 220 K's 16L/100K's

Total 800K's Fuel Cost $131 ie $16.38 per 100 K's
These figures are for Cruising only

Stock Standard No Lift

If the exhaust helps me when i make it, it should help with your economy aswell champ!!

Alitis007, The exhaust is not that loud, A Nice note. No drone on the highway. Infact when the windows are up, I can hardly hear it. But the 4.5l days are nearly over for me. Just sold the motor, box and exhaust to make way for the LS1 sitting on the floor in the garage.
