Check my comment above...I said half and if I got 10 out of their 17.5 I'd be delighted.
NOW, for some of you who have heard or are saying the G3s are actually not as good as the stock box or have no measurable difference...some stats on today's trip.
I installed Friday and drove about 70 miles to the Z Nationals around noon today. I zeroed the MPH/MPG when I hit the interstate. About 65 miles later, I registered an average speed of 64.4 and a MPG of 30.5! We all know a CAI improves gas mileage. I've never pulled much over 27/28 before. Never in the 30s.
So what does this mean? It means the G3s are doing SOMETHING better than the stock airboxes. Maybe it's not a huge noticeable power increase (I THINK I notice a difference/increase but I'm allowing for it just being my wishful thinking). But the increase in MPG means the G3s are getting better air inside the engine and it's running more efficiently and if it's doing that, then it's making more HP.
And it was around 90 when I made that trip.
Another trip I routinely measure is from home to work. I'll see how that one turns out next time I drive to work.
PS: I didn't get this thing for increased MPG. It's a side benefit. I'm just using the numbers as proof something good is happening.
