Your gas mileage will probably go down some because the car will have a slight different tone and if you are like me when you hear it you will romp on it more

Taken from the Top 100 Common Questions thread:

Quote:

Q. What's the best intake to buy?

A. There is no "best" intake. They all offer features and advantages and all have disadvantages. Some have small proven gains (+5hp), others have questionable gains (+20). Sorry but you have to do the research yourself and decide what meets your budget & expectations. Some of the more popular ones are the Jim Wolf Tech. PopCharger; NISMO CAI, Injen CAI, AEM CAI, K&N Typhoon CAI. A cheap alternative is a high flow air filter like the K&N filter.

Post #9 should help you.

keep stock intakes and add a k&n filter, or get an intake that has an enclosed airbox design.

If your worry is MPG's then leave your stock intake alone as others have said

I have no idea where you are getting your info from with your HP claims but that is absurd
