Motoring to Montreal (Road Trip)

Hey Guys,

I picked up my MCS a couple of months ago and have been lazy about posting some pics...so I'm hoping to get some up today. We took the MCS up to Montreal from NYC for a roadtrip.

It performed like a champ...I got 34 to 35 MPG without a problem on the highway averaging around 73 to 75 MPH. I have to mods on the car, a Milltek Catback and I swapped out the runflats for 215 width Dunlop Sportmaxx tires.

The Milltek is fantastic, the only issue is that I have an auto and the exhaust drones a bit above 70 MPH that can be irritating. Also, I noticed some discoloration on the trip piece above where the exhaust on the back bumper...I think this might be from the heat and that the exhaust is too close to the opening.

Anyone have thoughts about that?

Thanks
