Do extractors, and a bigger exhaust use more petrol than the stock system?

my understanding is at full throttle it will; becaue the engine can make relieve itself of the gases quicker, and therefore use more more fuel and air.

If you drive sensibly, I believe the car will make more power at the same throttle position.. so you could drive with less throttle, and in turn; use less fuel.

Extractors are usually advertised as more power, more fuel efficient.. and above is how I reckon it provides both benefits.

it will actually provide more efficiencty slightly however your driving habit will probably not give this efficiency any justice.

if anything would marginally improve fuel efficiency, however having a horn dog exhaust note makes you wanna plant your foot more :P
