CAI and Exhaust? Could this be the cause of oil consumption?
I thought I had read an artice somewhere that stated that if you put an aftermarket high flow exhaust and a cold air intake you might see some oil loss due to there not being as much backpressure in the motor. From what I think the oil gets deverted into the intake plenum area.
Anyone else hear about this?
I thought I read it in Nissan Sport Magazine regarding a different motor.
I have a CAI, Header, and Catback on my Z since I bought it (put on at 1,500 miles). Never have lost any and gives great mileage, i.e. 27.5 -28.0 mgp on hwy and 19 in town.

Nothing you read makes any sense whatsoever. Disregard all that crap about back pressure within the motor, the magazine doesnt know what they're talking about. If you're really concerned, I'd suggest buying some form of engine management and having your motor tuned. good luck
