Thread: Barker exhaust

  1. #1
    So I'm thinking about going with the barker exhaust for my CR. Anyone notice any MPG changes good or bad?

    Define "good," haha.

    I don't know of any aftermarket exhaust that gets better mileage than OEM. The main point of going aftermarket is to get more power/sound, which are things generally not associated with better mileage.

    Ya i knew power and sound were the two biggies. Just curious if the mpg changes were due to the modification or the rider. I'm probably going to get the ecm at some point to. Also looking that the fmf slip on just cause it looks bad ass

    Absolutely, aesthetics is another selling point. The OEM system is hideous!

    I've seen higher on mine, but only when cruising on the highway. Instant mileage was up to 45+ from 38-39 stock.

    HOLY SMOKES! Did you use a rattle can or take it to a paint shop? I know you can order it in a glossy black

    Satin black powder coat, not a rattle can job. It's good for 1200 degrees, I had my headers done and other than the smell when they were baking in, it's holding up just fine.

    Would you suggest the insert to quite the muffler a bit?
