Replying to: 2005lekc (Aug 23, 2007 2:31 pm) Sounds like your truck is doing well and the pics are great. I have an 05 CC, 6 speed but not as nice as yours. How does the exhaust sound?   I get 21-22.5 pretty frequently (Southern Middle Tennessee). A buddy that has a truck identical to mine except color made a trip from Cincinatti Ohio to Tullahoma TN on 14 gallons of gas. That is about 25 mpg. He said that was 55 mpg through KY because he received a ticket for 80 in a 55 that cost him $150+. Going up he only got about 19 mpg. Speed makes a large difference.
#1398 of 1428 Exhaust system for "05 LE KC by 2005lekc Aug 23, 2007 (7:42 pm)
I don't have a way to record the sound but it has a very mellow almost V8 sound most of the time. If I really romp it hard it gets a little on the loud side and loses the V8 sound.   It is mellow up to between 1900/2000 rpm and that is 75 mph in my truck which is as fast as I ever drive anyway.   Yes the mph effects your mileage as much as anything. At 65 mph I was getting about 23 mpg and at 75 it dropped to 21 mpg.   If I would ever take the time to drive around 55 to 60 mph I think I could get 24 or 25 mpg.   The older I get the slower I drive.   OkieScot

Replying to: tent2tt (Aug 16, 2007 8:21 am) I made the trip once again last weekend for a fishing trip. My brother and a good friend were so impressed with the fact that this truck could pull the weight that it did. Our total weight with the all the supplies, passengers, and trail was about 4500 pounds and still the trip was awesome. The truck had no problems getting up the hills. I still love this truck. It is a beast in a prom dress. It does really have some awesome power and looks tough too. Replies to this message: tent2tt (Aug 30, 2007 7:58 am)

Replying to: joezee (Aug 29, 2007 11:48 pm) I agree it's an awesome truck. Thanks for the update--sounds like a fun trip! We are taking our travel trailer out for its first Rally a few weeks from now, so I am looking forward to that!

Replying to: 2005lekc (Jan 27, 2007 3:35 pm) What kind of milegage were you getting before all the modifications? Do you have the automatic v6?   Thanks
#1402 of 1428 Mileage by 2005lekc Sep 10, 2007 (6:39 pm)
The best I ever got was 27.1 mpg when the truck was new and no mods at all. It was a 200 mile trip down to Bedford, TX to get my Flo-Pro exhaust installed. I had a good tail wind and it was more downhill than uphill, although there was a lot of both.   I have a 2005 LE KC 4X2 automatic. After the exhaust install I never got better than 23 mpg on the road and that was before the Volant CAI.   I recently removed the Volant CAI as I had the engine covers airbrushed and I liked the look of the stock covers better. After the removal I seem to be getting about 1 mpg better mileage.   The current mpg on my computer is 19.6 mpg and that is over the last 3 fill ups and is about 90% town and 10% freeway mileage.   I have never felt that any of my mods have really helped with my mileage. I do love being able to secure the load in my bed with the bed cover and I would not take for the sound of my exhaust.   OkieScot Replies to this message: canon714 (Sep 11, 2007 7:02 am)

Replying to: 2005lekc (Sep 10, 2007 6:39 pm) Do you have the V6 or 4 cylc? Thanks for the information.
#1404 of 1428 V-6 by 2005lekc Sep 11, 2007 (12:17 pm)
Sorry, it is the V-6 which is standard in the LE.   OkieScot
#1405 of 1428 Frontier Trailer Hitch by bobw1 Sep 12, 2007 (11:05 pm)
Does anyone know if the trailer hitch that comes with Frontier towing package is a weight distributing hitch, and what else comes in that package. Does the Frontier V6 take regular gas. I see the Pathfinder takes premium and I thought they were the same engine. Thanks... Replies to this message: carnut21 (Sep 13, 2007 7:23 pm) rocketman67 (Sep 17, 2007 6:29 am)

Replying to: bobw1 (Sep 12, 2007 11:05 pm) I believe it is a weight distrubuting hitch but to get the "full" weight distribution you have to buy another piece that goes onto the tongue of the trailer. This is the same as any other truck and can be picked up at an RV or off-road store. They can direct you accordingly.   The Frontier or the Pathfinder require premium fuel for "max" hp. However, I have and 05 Frontier with the 4.0 V6 and have ran maybe 2 tanks of premium fuel. There is little difference. Most of the Nissan's are that way. They are the same basic engine except a slight tweak to a chip or something to get a little more hp. Either way, you can not go wrong. This is a tough engine. I average 21-22 mpg with the crew cab 6 speed and topped at 23.5. Replies to this message: rocketman67 (Sep 17, 2007 6:29 am)
