someone told me that if you get an intake and not an exhaust, your gas mileage will go right down the drain. Is this true?

 

ehhh...My gas milage suck before just intake and it sucks the same now...
Side note where at in PA?

 

south of erie

 

oh u guys are both far from me

 

i put a intake and exhaust on my car and my mpg went up 2 on the average

 

doesn't make a big diff imo.

 

Un Noticable..

 

MPG's are "supposed" to go up but on this car u probably wont notice a difference...ive only seen i very noticeable difference when i did it on vehicles with a v-6(the only other types ive done) like my chevy blazer and my bro's accord. My blazer jumpe up about 3mpgs and throttle response got a LOT better

 

I think gas mileage has more to do with driving style (city v highway, how fast you take

off at every stop, how far you coast before you stop, etc) then mods. I have added

a CAI and GM stage 2 and my mileage has stayed the same (checking with every

fill up using miles driven and gas used).

Im averaging 27-28 mpg

fyi

 

thanx guys, i didn't think it would affect my mpg, but i just wanted to make sure.

 

Anytime you make it easier for your engine to work, it only helps. But with a four cylinder the effects probably aren't that much anyway.
