George@GTM, I was wondering if you all did any mileage tests with the TT G37 auto? As the car would be a daily driver, it would still have to get decent mileage when driven sanely. Of course, I realize if I put my foot into it, all bets are off.
Also, further clarification on the bumper. Is it in fact removed completely or altered in some way, or not at all? Going fast is fun, but safety comes first.
Anyway, the kit looks fantastic and makes my mouth water, only if I had the cash-o-lah and spousal permission!
Thanks.

I see the bumper question all the time. The aluminum bumper is completely removed, but by NHTSA definition, the bumper is NOT considered safety equipment. It is meant to minimize low speed (5 mph or less) damage to the car. Anything more than that, the bumper turns into a pretzel.

Thanks terrycs! I appreciate the info. Mixed 18mpg isn't that bad really. I would hope for a little better than 21 on the open road, but hey, you have to pay the piper some time!
I wonder if the 7 speed tranny would be able to eek out any more mileage? Your thoughts...

I have a 5AT with HR motor. I would guess a VHR with 7AT can do better due to better breathing engine and higher gearing up top? And a VHR with 6MT even better than that due to less drive train loss?
Waiting to see what yours will do!

I think if I was gonna spend an additional $11K plus the the money already spent on exhaust, I would have bought a different car altogether,
