Will installing an aftermarket intake affect my gas mileage? if so, better or worse?

any recommendations on what intake to get for my 06 coupe?

 

it will be worse cause youll want to hear the car rev above 3k every time...depends on how much you want to spend

 

this is a common setup for sale... i myself including a 1000 other drivers use this setup

worse

 

+1...

 

did i miss the asking price? im interested.

 

If you read the thousands of intake threads on this site, there seems to be some people who have seen ***slight*** increases in MPG, but like Dave says, you're only going to see that if you can be disciplined enough not to start stepping on the gas all the time. But if you're buying the intake for better sound, then you're probably not going to be able to (or want to) resist.

 

^^^tru dat homie

 

Like everyone else said, it depends how you drive the car... I like the Stillen/ztube combo better than the po charger.


^^ I dont have any of them...but by the way I read the post, the Stillen has a better Heat shield than the pop charger, making it coler air.

 

do a search..prices will range depending on what intake you want..

mynismo.com
everythingg35.com
stillen.com
themodcity.com

those are a few to get you started..

 

It's the general rule that whenever you up the performance of your car (through giving it more power) you will be decreasing your fuel efficiency. if you are doing intake, do not do the Ztube or any other short ram system. Go CAI or nothing.

 

reviving an old thread here..

so ztube + pop charger will definitely increase gas mileage. About how much are we talking about here?

Again, I'm reviving an old thread so go easy on me. lol

 

did you miss it? everyone said it would be worse lol

 

the increase in gas mileage will be so slim, that you wont even notice it. I lost mpg after i installed my fujita sri becuase like most said, i just want to step on the gas more to hear the sexy sound of the intake.

 

Glad you said it so I wouldn't have to...
