Hopefully nobody died as a result :lol:
Well spotted Ricoffy. Maybe the said vehicle needs to go into ICU to recover.
Especially if you guys know which vehicle it is 😂😂

Anyways. The temperature stays the same, so not to worried about it

I do however see a remarkable saving in fuel. It went down from 11.4km/l to 12.3km per liter.
I will only properly judge this after a tank or two and not after a few 100 kilometers
I love it when I give these figures and people think it's even remotely possible to get that consumption in an FJ :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reducing back-pressure of a petrol engine will make it run leaner (hence your better fuel consumption) and make it run hotter. The ECU is obviously not fully compensating for the change in back pressure
I refuse to be POLITICALLY CORRECT to impress others - Deal with it
