should get better mileage, but then youll be on it more cuz it will be more fun to drive so youll get less. but if you can drive normal trying ot get good mileage youll get better.

the cold air and exhuast will give you better gas mileage because it will help the gas/air mixture burn more completely.

How would a no name part give you bad MPG. Please back this up. Sounds like complete garbage to me.

i have found that just installing a short ram on my 00 civic has given me a really nice improvement on my gas mileage, but the thing eats up gas when I drive hard, I feel like I can see the line drop on my gas gauge when I floor/redline it...

well, then something must be wrong, if theres not, sorry i said it but I drove my integra hard all day long and still got great gas mileage. but I had intake, headers and exhaust so maybe thats why.

Its because of your headers. that extra one is helping with the fuel mixture burning properly.
oh, btw, do you want to explain to us all how you managed to fit headerS on a 4 cylinder engine?

 whoops. I just always hear headers. cuz when you say it outloud "I got intake, header and exhaust" it sounds kinda funny headers just sounds more natural in my mind. but believe me I DO know enough about cars to know that there is only one on an inline 4, but I just dont plan on being criticised for putting an S where it aint supposed to be, sorry!

Would that be why I get killer MPG on the freeway, A cold Air Intake and 2 1/4 inch cat-back exhaust? I have a 97 LS, tranny and ecu in a 92 civic 4 door. I get like 32-34 on the freeway. I was worried when I got the swap back in the summer I was running lean cuz of the great MPG on the freeway, but everyone told me it wasn't lean, that it was the fact a 92 civic is a lighter than the integra it came outta os part of the reason, since it doesnt have as much to pull around. Would the Cold Air and Exhaust be the big reason then? Since its flowin better now and breathin better? uUz I always wondered why I get such good gas mileage, especially on long trips, like from Portland to Seattle.
