how to improve fuel economy on a gm car by removing sound baffles

[derwinmicheal]

just throw a cone filter from autozone on it an mount computer anywhere

You know why the baffles are there? It's for NVH issues. Old people don't want to hear the induction or exhaust noises. My Century is so quiet there was times it didn't start and I couldn't tell till I went into drive(hate having no tach).

Hey man did you get to test out your Fuel economy yet?

[eltatertoto]

@JohnFromSpace not really lol. i also changed the sparkplugs 20 miles before this fill up, and when i did i reset the average fuel economy thing, and this morning id only burned 3 gallons in this tank. so one time getting on it made the avg jump a bit. however, today i had to go about 20 or so miles from home and back on roads where i can go relatively quick (50-60) not highway but quick. not really sure what it will read when i check it in the morning (didnt think to look) but ill post it

@eltatertoto over all im not sure it really improved all that much, but the sound and throttle response is worth it in my opinion. before if i was in 3rd or overdrive it would have to downshift before i got any power. now, its honestly got enough throttle response in alot of places it would normally downshift it doesn't need to. not to mention the open airfilter just sounds like i dropped an 8 cyl in there lol

@eltatertoto

Awesome man! Glad you're enjoying it!

[eltatertoto]

@JohnFromSpace so, i just looked at the car and after burning 5.6 gallons its at 20.1 mpg and the 40 or so miles were about 50-55 mph me being my smart self made sure to go as far as taking a picture of the gas pump, but i forgot to check the odometer lol. so assuming this dic is corredt i am getting better mpg. that could be because of the spark plugs too, but the sparkplugs were only $15

Put more tags in man 3800 Series 2 is important in there.

I would like to add that Grand Prixs and Regals stock air boxes also have multiple pieces. Not the same as PA's and Bonnevilles but plenty of crap to pull off!

[eltatertoto]

@JohnFromSpace will do, and yeah my mom drives a century, its got the same airbox as the regal. right now its a storage unit till she buys brakes but im considering tearing apart the airbox because i can haha. btw, thanks for the sub!

[JohnFromSpace]

Well done bud! Thumbs up and favorited!
