My fuel milage went up after adding this. I think for people who it hasn't, probally romp on it alot more, to hear the engine, therefore not driving it for fuel efficiency. With stock wheels, SRT and Borla I was at 23.5 normally. Before I was around 21.5-21.9.

So you actually save 1-2miles per gallon on your car. My car is fully stock, except for Tom's signal side mirrors and grounding kit and 2 spoilers. I have seen a tiny little improvement on the pick-up from before grounding kit and after, but I was just wondering would I be making the right choice spending $500. on an intake just to save some gas. I was also told the ground kit would save gas, But I really don't see an difference from before and after. Thanks for your replies

One last thing is how loud is your car now with the SRT and Borla installed compared to stock. I love my car and it is really quite when I drive it now. My wife doesn't really care on what I do to the car, Except she doesn't want it to sound like my Honda after intake...etc done to it. Thanks again

You were expecting it to take how long, exactly, to pay for itself? $500 is an awful lot of gas--even @ today's priices. You want to save a couple of bucks on gas? Try coasting more often... and don't drive unless you have to (no kidding--these gas prices are no joke). You will not believe the diference if you remember to coast more often; 1-3 mpg improvement easily.

Regards,

Matt
