I just finished 2 days of " testing " my new fr500s axle backs...they should come with a warning of greatly reduced mileage. ;)

Were the axle backs new or used? You should not see reduced mileage with those mufflers..
You do when you like to hear them at WOT. :)

That's what I was going to say. You tend to want to hear the new sound so you stay in it longer. That can pretty much be said for any performance mod though.
Love mine, had them on for almost 2 years, awesome I every way. Pricey but so worth it.
I've noticed a similar problem with my Borla ATAK mufflers. Having them on makes me not want to shift until about 5K, and it makes me want to drop the transmission into a lower gear before coming to a stop

ha ha, yeah I had that problem with mine too

It does improve with age, a little, as the newness wears off . . . but not much!

Yeah, as you age, you won't be able to hear them as well. Until then, good luck. sarcastic.gif
