Default Will fitting magnex exhaust effect fuel?

I've got a 53 plate STi, and am considering fitting a magnex cat back system - but before I go ahead, will this effect the fuel economy?

May sound stupid but just wanted to check.

Thanks

Default Well,,

If you drive a car like an 03 STI, does the MPG you get from it really matter?

If it does sell it now and buy a diesel (not a turbo diesel(coz they might do 2-3 MPG less))


Sorry

No effect at all....just like the difference in power.

Nicer noise though

Bloody Hell.

Be carefull what you ask on here!

Some answers will have you thinking you need a degree in astro physics to drive a Scoob!

Please don't ask if cocklinks or wooshy dump valves are a good idea.

Btw, welcome to the club. (nice car!)

Ted.
