complete shit.

when i purchased the truck, my first fill up said i had 194 miles left on the "Distance to Empty", now i fill up and the numbers fluctuate between 140-154-160 Miles to empty.

I complained to my dealer and he told me it's the computer adjusting to my driving style.

which makes me wonder, do i need to be driving like a grandma to get 200 miles out of this beast??

what's the lowering module??

i ask cuz i have 22s on mine now. it's a solid 10.8mpg mixed driving and i don't go wot much if at all. so i fill up the tank and maybe get low 200s on a good day. this thing has the efficiency of a damn Hummer H2! i can't imagine what the older SC RRSs get since they have even worse mpg per the window sticker.


various vendors sell this electronic module that sets your normal height to where you want it to be. when you upsize wheels, you decrease sidewall height thus the jacked up look you got right now (i'm in the same boat).

my jalopy's in the shop getting a full startech/kahn kit fitted along with the kahn lowering module. per the manual, the difference in height from normal to access is ~2". i plan on lowering it .75 - 1" to get rid of some of that gap. i rode over some bumps on access height which results in a lot of bouncing (no thx). i'm hoping an inch will strike that right balance between good looks and practicality.

some people like the caravan look - i do not.

l love this RR here, but i bet you it's on access height aka parking lot pimpin' mode

I'm thinking of finding some exhaust tip options... can you recommend any?

the startech-brabus kit has integrated tips.

to lend you my perspective on things, i don't like messing with the tips unless there's bodywork to accompany the bigger/flashier exhaust outlets. when you just upsize it on stock body, it looks whack in my humble opinion, cuz it just draws your eyes to the exhaust for no good reason.

cliff notes: i'm not the right person to ask but perhaps others can chime in. i heard about some gibsons or something along these lines somewhere. me no care.

i've seen some pipes that have dual tips? those seemed pretty fly.

don't think i'm ever gonna do a full kit mod on mine, unless i see something that's minimal yet aggressive.

i can't stand rollin stock even on Kahn 22s. i might as well have bought the ubiquitous commuter a4. i need a bodykit and lowering job. i'm weird like that and it's def not cheap!

$6K wheels tires.... $12K other bits and pieces.. $3K labor... *&^%$#@!

don't mean to hijack your thread. hey at least we're both not fans of our low teens MPG.

peace bro
