    Toyota cat-back dual exhaust, TRD cold intake and anti-sway bars
    I have a new 2018 1794 edition Tundra that I had the dealer modify by adding a cat-back dual exhaust, a TRD cold air intake system and anti-sway bars. My seems to run and handle better so I am happy with the mods, but gas mileage has suffer somewhat. Is there anything I can do to improve my mpg?

    None of that should’ve affected your gas mileage. I think you just need to keep your foot out of it lol. Maybe the truck just needs to learn it has a little more flow in the intake. Did you try resetting the ECM? Disconnect the battery for about three minutes. Did you try resetting the ECM? Disconnect the battery for a few minutes. I like to hit the brake or the horn a few times to make sure all the power is drained from the system.

    Good tip, should have thought of that. I’ll give it a try.
    BTW, the new sound and handling probably has created a heavier right foot... ;)

    I average 12 to 15 mpg per tank. If I make an effort I can get over 18 mpg. The best way to improve gas mileage is to change your driving style. Light on the throttle, minimize use of brakes, keep it under 65, and stay out of the left lane. But that's no fun.

    None. Keeping this one stock.
    You loss low end and back pressure with the exhaust. Surely you felt that. I had Trd duals for 4 years in my 14. Didnt think anything of it. Until I drove a stock 2018. It was significant. My 18 CM at 70 to Houdton and back was just at 18.7 average. I'll take it.

    I'm looking to get a rear sway bar and the TRD exhaust installed this coming spring, and this is exactly what I'm expecting to happen to me.

    The TRD intake is supposed to work with the ECU the way it is. At least that’s what the product description says.

    This.
    And the intake didnt Help either. Most "performance" intakes are tuned for HP gains: they use a larger diameter tube = tuned more for high end power.
