    I recently put Pacesetter headers on my 2000 GTP and my mpg has gone down from 20 to 17. I was getting 20 with just a CAI and after I put the headers on, my mpg droped and doẹsnt run at her best.

    I put in new autolight 104s with the header install and run 91 octane.

    Do I need to get a tune or is something else the problem?

    Make sure those Pacesetters aren't leaking 'cause that may be skewing AFR.

    I'd say header leak. It'll throw your afr way off and could dump to much fuel into the motor and you'll get crappy gas mileage.

    What about header choice? 1.75" primaries are a little much for a relatively stock car.
