Outside, on my back in the snow and ice, and today it rained. I used the tech articles on this site and on markviii.org. I found the lowering article to be decent, but the removing the silencer article, towards the last few steps, was pretty lacking - it was extremely difficult to get the silencer out without cutting bolts, so that was frustrating.
I think the rear end is too low - I could get it down about 1 inch lower than the front. It handles better, but ride comfort has suffered - I guess that is to be expected. On the plus side, removing the silencer has someone given me an extra 3 mpg, according to the computer.

Really? I'll definately have to gut that damn thing this weekend. I just gained 2 mpg by cleaning the MAF (16.1- 18.3 MPG). I can't figure out why this things gets mileage like that. My Conti got 23 MPG with constant WOT!...

Does removing the air silencer do anything to improve milage or is it just to improve sound?
