Engine & DrivetrainDiscussions about the engine and drivetrain of your vehicle.
This is a discussion thread titled "Gas mileage after installed JBA header.", within the Engine & Drivetrain forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
For those who installed header, any change in gas mileage?
I have about 900 miles on mine and have not seen a +/- change in my MPG.
The extra low and mid-range power is great and that's why I got them.

Aside from going down for a short while due to a strange temporary increase in the mass of my right foot after install, I haven't noticed much change otherwise.

My mileage seems to have gone up just a bit. I went from getting 295-300 miles before the fuel light went on to about 320 in the same driving everyday. That would be about 1 mpg. So I'm up to about 14.5 mpg. Sweeet. It could also be that immediatly after putting the headers on I went on a 3,000 mile trip with a 4,000 lb trailer. That may have helped finish the break-in process - so it may not be the headers after all.

My mileage has gone up a little from 12mpg city to about 15mpg but the latter was a combo city highway driving I still have the check engine light on so after I get the O2 sensor replaced I'm hopefull that the mpg will be better yet

Mine might have gone up a little bit. I put the headers on and the next week, put on an AEM brute force intake. Between the two, I can't not hit the gas because it sounds so cool and has more pep. I'm sure it helped with mileage some but I haven't been able to tell that much. It sure sounds and feels better though.
