28 is quite possible

Just keep the car on cruise, the A/C on auto and no heavy wheels.

Professional and Respectfull...

Unlike the "RAMBLINGS" section of the site... this place is very professional and respectfull... Out of all the posts here not one of us guys have said anything about the last pic in the first post...

NOW if it was ramblings... ... ... well... no explaination... This smilie perfectly describes their actions...

Most, if not all, brands make intakes for the 3.2... the 2.5 is always left out of everything...

Is it similar milage to what you were getting, or did you note an improvement?

Looks nice, I've just got the stock airbox right now. I'm trying to figure out how the plumbing runs up from the bottom though, I'm wondering if there is a way to improve it.

I noticed a huge gain, I was getting just under 250 miles per fill up, with spark plug change, intake, and a lighter foot I have been able to squeeze almost 400,

You can remove the intake resonator thats in the wheel well, you will notice a slight sound change, but the resonator has a pinhole that sucks in air... I think removing it wont change much but it is certainly less restricting on the air flow

So what is the difference in this intake system and their Dragon one?

This one is more money, does it give more power?

Made me laugh thinking of what the guys in the Rambling section would do if they see a female pic in a post...

ITS A SECRET!!!





The differance is that the inside of the secret intake has another pipe lineing in side of it... it supposably creates a greater vacuum or gets more air to flow through it... Just say you get more air... you get more cumbustion... but you need the other third to be the exact same amount... more fuel... and the last third is the spark...

Air+ Fuel + SPARK = = More power...

Then the second half of the whole thing would be exhaust to let all the extra crap its going to spit out...

How was the stock filter looking? I have fresh (less than 10,000 miles) spark plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, oil, coolant, tranny fluid, and am getting about 24/29mpg city/hwy, along with some quality fuel treatment, and that is a huge noticable difference from when I got the car, but if it could be better...

Hehe, my stock filter was a joke... I laugh when I think of what I saw upon removing the factory air induction system... Dead bees, cigarette buts, sand, leaves, grass, and all kinds of stuff was in there! After the intake, 2x fuel treatment, and new plugs I'm back to getting normal gas mileage, right at about 280-320 per fillup regular city stop and go traffic... and the occasional WOT, Just replaced the fuel filter as well so I have not been able to notice any difference just yet
