I believe the Knock Link will help you monitor detonation...lyonsd said:Is there a way you can monitor detonation in the WRX?
Of the top of my head, I'm gonna say 16. Someone will probably correct me with the exact capacity. I believe there is a gallon or more than sits out of reach of the strainer, to prevent sucking water, dirt, etc.lyonsd said:How many gallons does the fuel tank hold?
...you kidding me? are the cats in the car hurting fuel economy that much?PlatinumWRX said:
I can't wait to see my fuel economy once I get my uppipe, and downpipe in. If I can stay out of the boost it should be 30+ mpg.

Anytime you improve air flow, be it intake or exhaust, you will see an increase in HP and fuel economy. When I had full exhuast put on my '87 Toro and built a K&N cold air intake for it, my mileage increased from an AVERAGE of 18mpg to 20mpg and that's mainly short trips. I can only imagine how much better the cruising efficiency of the WRX will become!Penguinking said:...you kidding me? are the cats in the car hurting fuel economy that much?
