So I have decided to start yet another interesting thread. ALL OPINIONS ARE APPRECIATED. So out of the hundreds of us that decided to add bolt on parts to our car (intake and exhaust mostly), how much oil have you consumed more based on when you were running stock?

For example, I noticed that my Z would consume approx 1/8 in. of oil off of the dipstick. I am a reasonable guy and had decided to chalk it up to it being a high performance motor, it will consume a little bit of oil. I just installed a aftermarket exhaust ( will remain nameless due to the fact that it won't matter what exhaust you use, anything other than stock will open the flow up) and have noticed that I have conusmed almost 3/4 in of oil off of full.

So in conclusion, have you noticed since doing basic mods like intake and/or exhaust has effected the amount of oil consumed. Also how many of you/us have gotten your engines replaced having bolt on parts on your car.
