everything is up to snuff.

I have a Dellorto 48 DHLA and no emissions or stock exhaust and I get 24-25 mpg normally. This is cruising on the highway. It drops to around 17-18 city and 10-12 in the
mountains
Everything is stock. I've heard about removing the ratsnest but only heard the only benefit is reducing clutter in the engine bay. Now, by foobarred, are you saying that you can't repair those items, only replace them?
