Fuel Consumption after Muffler change?

Hey all

those who have changed the stock muffler to a more sporty one in your F3X cars did your fuel consumption change?


I changed mine on my 420i yesterday but i think at low speeds the fuel consumption is the same, but at 100Km/h it consumes more now but i am still not sure.... need to do more tests

When people change to a sporty exhaust, their foot tends to get heavier. Probable correlation for the loss of mpg

No exhaust modification will impact fuel economy assuming driving style is unchanged.
