Engine HP vs MPG

HP vs MPG

hey guys i have a question. a question i have asked many people. when you get a shortram air intake does it improve gas milage. same question for an aftermarket exaust. i have gotten yes and no answers over an over again. what do you experts say?

thankyou

I both a intake and exhaust on my car and noticed no difference in my gas mileage.

I am getting between 250 to 350 on my tank, depends on how much I lay into her, LOL

less gas mileadge , about 3-4 mpg at the most. youll get more power and torque and gas mileadge w/ a true CAI.

I noticed a slight diferrence.

Oh shit! My bad lol, poor.

what is a tru CIA??

its CAI , not a government agency . lol.

true cold air intake. this will require the removal of some factory intake boxes , but worth it for the gain over a short ram intake. heres mine:


the silver tube on the right side of the engine is the intake pipe (mine is 3")

this is where the filter is located , true cold air location , leave in your fenderwell if you do this . and avoid big puddles at high speed at all cost!! my intake hasnt been affected by the rain or puddles yet.

You should try SummitRacing.com, if you haven't already. They have fast shipping.

like isaid i havnt really messed with it. yes its safe through proper installation , and a HVAC (heating,ventilation,a/c) tool called a pipe crimper. just make sure you have a flexible rubber connection from intake to piping , to keep from phukin up the piping , if you want to now more on how to do it let me know , i know i noticed a big difference w/ mine in low but mostly mid range uumph'. but if you do this there are a couple of things u must do to protect the CAI and the engine. all in the construction.

Just get the damn thing! Your looking for performance, right? If your worried about gas milage, leave it as it is.

Get a CAI. You have to fabricate your own though, most people do. Might find one if your lucky.

You should get one of those Greddy emergency valves for your intake, Shubert. It won't cost you much and if you do end up hitting a huge puddle, it may prevent your engine from getting hydrolocked. You know what I'm talking about right? I believe they are made by Greddy and are universal.

yeah i know them more commonly from aem/\ . nopi didnt have any 3" in stock when i went to one of there showrooms . ill get around to it eventually. the filter is not actually exposed to any open elements , its hid in the fender well / bumper,

firs for best flow your gonna have to use metal pipe so barrow or find this tool first:
HVAC drier vent and bath fan crimpers . they crimp the metel finely so when you cut your sections of pipe you have amale and female side , always face male towards in take for better flow. find that tool , then ill finish , cause it is the key for a good install.

24 g. galvinized steel . and no it ddont heat transfer , unless you sit in traffic for a while.

hold on moises 95 , i dont have the brain right now to explain , fore it is 2:30 am . watch the topic , ill post for it tomarrow .

in the mean time , get:
2" to 2" rubber plumbing connector
5ft. stick of 3" "snap lock" "bathfan pipe"
get 5 90' adjustable elbows 3"
silver foil tape and squeege (any kind of stiff card like credit card , will work)

all this sjould run you about $25.

oh yeah , almost forgot , and a good quality 3" cone filter.

1 more thing , check the elbows in the store before you buy them some dont turn and adjust all the way .

and do you have tin snips to cut the metal pipe with ?

ok got it, sorry i took so long

what is that cold air intake made of??
