Re: Increases MPG and Performance?
Noooo, I cant ever imagine one of those giving you 5-7 mpg. If they did, dont you think the manufacturers would wise up and put one of those on to boost milage? In theory a cold air intake and better flowing exhaust will make your car get better mileage but realistically they never pay for themselves and you just want to drive the car harder because it will have a bit better pick up and cool sounds. My buddy has noticed a pretty constant 2-3 mpg increase when he drives good since he got his intake, header, test pipe, and exhaust but that all set him back like $900. At that rate, it will take a long ass time to pay off, not to mention the noise tickets you could get.
Best thing you can do to get good gas milage is to keep your foot of the gas and keep it well maintained.
