#1: MPG Comparison - Aftermarket exhaust < OEM box Author: JJ0063, Location: NorfolkPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 5:22 pm ---- Hi all,
I've got a 99 V plate 1.4 LX that I bought already modified which included a lovely 4 inch slash cut backbox on it, which I later found out was a contributing factor to my terrible MPG, here's my mathematic calculations
1.4 with 4" aftermarket exhaust - 23MPG
1.4 with standard OEM backbox - 34MPG
Is the standard box still a poor figure? It doesn't sound amazing to me personally! I was hoping for late 30's early 40's!
The car is probably due a service which i'll get round to doing.
The 34MPG is a mix of dual carriageway driving and back roads, I do have quite a heavy right foot though so I know this would be another contributing factor.
Cheers
Jord

could be wrong though
