    Funny I stumbled on to tractor mufflers a couple of months ago when I was looking for a straight thru muffler at our size.

    Thats insanity that the cvt is at such a lower rpm. Im normally around 2500 to 3000 but I go around 70 instead of 60.

    Thats one of the major reasons it gets the highway mileage it does, and why the CVT gets better highway mileage than the manual.

    Im not too horribly behind you. I've been able to get 47.7mpg highway.

    It'll be really nice once future models come out that have engine off/on technology and a 6th gear.

    Anyone in the US actually have an intake yet? If I have to listen to the engine while I drive... It should sound cool at least... Some CAI Growl would be nice.

    I remember installing a k&n intake on a bimmer. When you initially "step on" the gas, you hear a pressure build up/suction. I currently already hear that in the stock mirage intake lol.

    Cant imagine more changes other than for performance.

    According to the EPA ratings the CVT gets better Highway MPG. But many people have proven here that the manual gets equivalent if not better MPG than the CVT.
