Increased MPG or HP anyone????
Was curious if anyone was experiencing an increase in miles per gallon or horsepower with an aftermarket Intake or exhaust. I was curious to know if an intake or exhaust would benefit other then looking/sounding better. Let me know what you all are using and your thoughts on the product.

Give me a couple of weeks and I'll let you know about the AEM cold air intake.

if u increase th HP u are going to lose MPG, the same thing to Increse MPG = lose HP, u cant get it all, the Farrais only get 8-10 MPG, but the got mass HP. so if the intake give u good HP, then u will lose good MPG. |

Not so true Yaris TTe,I have a TRD CAI,And I noticed a 3-5% increase in milage,no bull.Actually if you are easy on the throttle at all times,you will get an improvment,but ofcourse when you get the CAI or exhaust,you always want to accelarate faster,because now you can.With the CAI,it actually is like compressed/denser air,which will cause your car to use less gas.zthink of it this way,if its real hot out side,air is less dense,so your car replaces lost air with more gas,so when the air is cooler via cold day or CAI system,them you will have better combustion using less gas,its that simple.As for exhaust,it helps reduce back pressure,and at the right rpm will increase the pulse performance,it like it creates a outward vacum that actually helps pull the exhaust out.If you have both CAI and intake,you will get good improvment if you are easy on the throttle,but can you resist when you get those new performance parts.And you cant compare a ferrari with a 4 banger,you dont even want me to start and explain why a ferrari uses more gas!!!

When my OEM tires expire, I may buy a set of tires with lower rolling resistance and I believe I will get slightly better acceleration and slightly better fuel economy as a result.

the bottom line, when u upgrade ur car with performance induction and exhaust system, it will take more fuel then the oem sysem, due to the INCREASE OF AIR FLOW, if u think ur CAI, SR, Header, or exhaust increases ur MPG, its all up in ur head.

The only way adding an intake will decrease your mpg is if your busy gunning it all the time to hear the noise of it. When You add these bolt ons such as intake, header, exhaust, it only improves fuel efficiency. Adding more power to the vehicle only makes it easier for the vehicle to move itself. Meaning the engine has less struggle getting the car moving, and also means you are able to apply less gas to get to your desired speed at the right amount of time.
Yes you are adding more air into the engine which helps increase combustion, but you are not adding more fuel to it unless your running an aftermarket ecu. Adding an intake will not make your ecu send more fel into your engine to compensate for the "extra" air. It's set to what it is, and that's that. If anything with all bolt-ons most cars end up running lean if they don't have an ecu to tune with because the factory ecu will not automatical ajust itself and send more fuel. While this is good for gas, going to lean is not good for the motor on the long run....especially if your always pushing it.

and if you need an example.....
when I had my S bone stock I was averages with calm driving around 200-210 on a full tank. After adding my intake/header/test pipe/exhaust/flywheel I was making close to 230whp(this was all on the stock ecu). After all those mods I was averaging with calm driving 235-245 on a full tank.

Basic thermodynamics tells you that all other things being equal, when you lower the intake temp, you'll increase effeciency.

yes, you may be using less fuel to go the same speed, which is why mods usually increase mileage, but it does not change the rpm-speed relation in any way. |

same here, small gain with muffler only, nothing measurable mpg wise though, if there is a difference its not big.

Ya its always good to get something out of your mods, emotionally or performance wise.
