You bought my old FJ from Butler? That is awesome. Where are you located? Just curious if I am going to see you tooling around town in it.

As a side note, my 2012 FJ is doing very well. Today, I had the new TRD exhaust and cold air intake installed. I have my new Bushwacker fender flares and DeeZee brushguard. Those are going to get installed soon. I tore a trapezius muscle recently. No heavy work for me for a while. That includes installation of accessories.

Here are pics of the intake and exhaust tip. Not going to crawl under for a pic of the whole exhaust.

Sorry that I took so long to answer. Been on vacation for a while. I drove from Indy to the Lower Shore of Maryland and back. At points, I saw that I was getting over 30 MPG. Overall, I have noticed that I went from the 17 MPG to just over 24 MPG. Since I have been home and doing city driving, it has fallen to about 21 or 22 MPG. That is a decent increase in my opinion.

Power is another thing. I noticed that it has a significant increase in starting line jump. I jack rabbit from a light most of the time. I am not sure how much HP I got from the change, but it is big. And it isn't just in my head, my friends have noticed the change, too.
