Since they have no idea how long you have or will be there they cannot say much. Plus you are in the military, do what you want (within reason).
LOL that card doesn't work as well as alot think. Here in VA it will get you 2 tickets.

VA police are the worst. I once got pulled over by two cop cars at the same time for running no front plate. Even worse, the cop talked to me for like 15 minutes about my car then wrote me a ticket...

Just Chiming int. The flutter issue is solved. The bypass valve sounds fantastic. Also I am gunning the car more b/c its not as loud with the flutter. Great customer service.

One issue though. My gas mileage has gotten a lot worse. I just cant keep off the gas pedal b/c of the big grin on my face.

OH man...Rotrex powered 370z and CARB legal would be so sweet. I have a Rotrex SC from URD on my 2006 Tacoma now, but not CARB legal.

Oh that was me driving the car....
I get around 16MPG daily driving (50/50 city & highway). I think one week I hit 19MPG when I was doing some long distance driving mostly.

Ok so alot of it is the driving habits you guys are doing. Still though 16 average seems low to me. Next time I drive I am going to have to reset my mpg and see what it does. I will also fill it up and do the math.

I get a bit of highway driving everyday but most of my drive is sitting in traffic.

i'm only making about 180-210 local + freeway miles on a full tank. that averages about 12-14 mpg which sucks cuz my car isn't fast at all. to be honest it's only a tad faster than stock lol.
