Anybody got feedback on gained fuel economy from an intake setup? Takeda, k&n or drop ins?

Mpg gains from intake: negligible

Mpg lost from flooring it everywhere due to "amg wtf intake goes woosh!": 3-5mpg

I doubt you'd gain MPG, you get more air but the car will compensate with more fuel.

I'd assume an exhaust is more likely to raise your MPG

IF you drive the same way before and after the intake mods, you will get slightly better MPG. Not enough to make it worth while if MPG is all you are after. But why would anyone who drives a Nismo be worried about MPG?

I drive my baby 100 miles a day, all interstate, so with the cruise on 1-2 mpg would be an awesome improvement. But yes a few more hp and the sound added in would all be worth the money to me
