If you don't have cats on your car, then then it's more or less a personal choice. I would recommend a drilled 180

If you DO have cats, the I would NOT get the 160. Cats don't seem to like the colder thermos.

No cat installed.

Yea, My mileage has dropped right along with the temp outside! But then again, I am not to worried about gas mileage. I don't drive the car too much. I fill her up every other week, at most every 9 days if I do alot of running on the weekend. It gets up to the line between the 100 and 210 mark, and thats about the place it stops right now, maybe a little more if I am lead footing it.

On a N/A engine I would prefer my engine being 195 rather than
< 160! You're probably screwing your gas mileage
Again, not a fan of drilled
