That said, a friend of mine told me today that he got the K&N FIPK for his Colorado and he noticed no improvement in MPG, which is my primary motivation.

Let's rumble!! As much as we can anyway!Maybe K&N will hear our loyalvoices?I think the Colo/Canyan would be close, but not a duplicate for a 3. I'll reserve what it does until I see it 4 myself

from what I have learned the only difference from the 06 to the 07 is the size of the opening for the MAS. Someone here got an 07 when they first came out and modified the CAI that he took off his 06 when he traded. He made the hole bigger with a dremel and it fit the bigger MAS in the 07. I don't remember who it was.

Scrapped the Billy Boat, leaks and rattles. New exhaust to be installed by custom muffler shop...

Personally I would trust the local-yocal muffler shop to design me an efficient exhaust system.

REALLY!?[sm=interesting.gif] Billy Boat has a great Customer Service Dept and typically works with customers to makes things right, even if it means replacing the exhaust. Possibly it was installed in correctly?

My goal is to let the H3 breath for light towing.

I didn't mean to step on your toes Breezer. Any Dealer would be an example of a local-yocal. The Tecnicians may even be ASA trained but it's not in the field of engine design and performance parts.
Big time exhaust designers like Billy Boat, Magnaflow, Borla and Corsa have the unique where-with-all to design and test their products. Most speed shops don't have the access or the equipment to test the flow and performance of their designs. Typically each exhaust is a one-off design and no two are a like. Our I-5 is not at the top of most speed shop's list for testing. Taking a single exhaust and creating a faux dual system is a joke in it's self. But when GM asks Corsa or Billy Boat to design an exhaust, I bet some engineering went into it.
Just sharing my point of view. Enjoy your day.[sm=smiley20.gif]

I hear ya, I should have been more specific, it won't be a custom bend. It will probably be a cat back magnaflow properly installed. If I installed the BB there prob. wouldn't have been an issue. When it went back the second time they just over tightened and bent the flange. If they followed the directions, instead of trying to start them on fire, maybe it would have worked out. Nothing against BB, I just know the Dealer is incapable of making it work. To note, I had them do it becuase I got a huge labor discount and a 15% discount on the parts, like ususal, I was only there for an oil change. At present, the stock exhaust if being put back on, in turn, maybe I am a little touchy on this issue... [sm=smiley18.gif] If so, my apologies and thanks for the info. Thanks.
