Thanks.
sounds like you got it already , the upper end pipes release the upper rpm's of an engine and expell more fuel by doing so . the low end pipes restrict the high rpm range of the engine and make it run more efficiently creating better fuel mileage . port designs and throttle finger have alot to do with it also
