You get more power (and torque) at lower revs, so it's wholly possible, even with the increase fuelling, to save fuel.

The mod was designed to minimise quarter mile times though, so any fuel saving thru driving like miss daisy is by the by.

they look very similar to my new fuel cans

they have a removable baffle?

perhaps, weather permitting, you can compare mine at newark in a couple of weeks?

no pictures of mine currently, but try http://www.fuelexhausts.com/Gallery_det ... dIDPK=1#18

with the exception of the company flash, very similar i feel

If you have a small hole in the lip of the exit pipe, that would take a baffle and retaining system, I reckon you could well have identified them....
