WOW ! Thanks for sharing that. It must have been very moving for you. (Get it - MOVING). Hope it continues to improve and perhaps even reduce your fuel consumption. You could be onto something.

Need to watch the turbos on those.They already operating at their limit-about 25lbs boost as opposed to 10-15 lbs.Interesting to know if the 3" system affects it.

Just another thought.Don't know how much you know about the 3.0 l turbos but vital to keep aircleaner (Nissan part), intake,sensor and intercooler clean of dust and breather oil otherwise stressed turbo goes bye bye.
