Foil around the tip inside the pipe? Wouldn't that be the same as clogging an o2 sensor which would cause it to run pig rich?On an 89 V6 2.9 liter engine. Trying to find it to wrap foil around it, a little better gas mileage by fooling the computer ?

Well, the pipe is down a long time, no more Captain Black : - ) What this is reported to do is fool the computer into thinking its running richer than it is and subsequently lean the mix SLIGHTLY for a bit better gas mileage. Personally, I'd prefer to burn the gas in the engine and not the cat. : - )
Does it work ? Dont know, didnt try it yet..

What gas milage are you getting? I really dont think you can bitch unless you're getting what Im averaging at 15mpg... With your 2wd street rig your milage can't be all that bad...
If it ain't broke don't fix it...

Yeah, it would set some tongues wagging if it would work. I'll know in a couple of days. I know most would simply lie back and relax but can you imagine where we would be if everyone just sat back and let " someone else " did it ? Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble ring any bells ?
