Should I tune a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT?
I really love driving my Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, but I would like for it to have better gas mileage. I don’t want to trade it in, so my friend suggested tuning it to get more horsepower and better gas mileage. Are there any downsides to tuning a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT?

tuning can give you a horsepower and fuel economy boost, but there are some drawbacks to consider.Here’s a better look at the pros and cons of tuning your vehicle:
Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
6+ MPG boost to fuel economy | Cost (some modifications can cost up to $10,000) |
Increased horsepower | Will aggravate any existing mechanical issues |
Torque boost | Might void manufacturer warranties |
Before you start modifying your vehicle, you’ll want to check your manufacturer’s warranty and your existing

policy to make sure aftermarket parts don’t affect either one. If you need insurance coverage that will protect your new ride, download the Jerry
