Gas mileage with gen III intake
I'm planning on purchasing this system, but so far I have not do anything to my car completly stock, will installing this kit decrease/increase gas mileage or pretty much just stay the same. I do alot of highway driving and short drive to work, an I'm pretty happy with the mileage I'm getting , I plan on getting exhuast and HFCs in the future but I'm opting for intakes first.
I just wanna know what you guys/gals have experienced after installing you intakes. Gas mileage wise |

So you want to get a performance mod but are concerned with mileage? That's a first.
Your gas mileage will definitely drop due to your foot becoming heavier to listen to that sound

There is times to play around, none the less when I am not playing I do stay aware I my gas mileage, and drive moderatly slow(obey the speed limit). Let me rephrase my question.
Under regular/casual driving will there be a loss on milage. |

Even if it did, it won't be anything noticable IMO
I seem to get more or less the same milage on the highway, never paid attention to exact numbers.. but then again it's really hard to tell since there are so many factors involved, weather, altitude, in city driving, highway, car mileage etc..

Intake + Cats + CBE = a little better mpg. Now add 4.08 gears 700 rpm more at 100km and your milage drops, 2800 vs 2100 in 7th. 4.5 mpg at least. 37 mpg to 32 mpg, but it does the 1/4 in 12.800.
Small price to pay for performance.

More horsepower takes more fuel (part of the "no free lunch" axiom)...Though the differences should be minimal under less than WOT condidtions....

But, the end result is that you will probably not notice much, if any, increase or decrease, given the same driver input. |
