I have a chance to get a free Typhoon intake. I can live with the sound as I'm rarely on WOT. Nominal hp increase is fine. The part is free right? But what about mpg? I can't really find anything relating to gas mileage. Any info out there?

In theory, a better designed air induction device should help with better MPG, but with an intake people tend to pick up a disease called, "Anvil Right foot-itis".

You'll lose torque and power down low so you'll most likely compensate with more gas in city driving.

Thanks for the responses. 90% of my driving is highway, so I should be fine right?

As long as your driving style doesn't change your gas mileage should either stay the same or improve slightly.

I work at an Acura dealership. Someone just traded in an 07 TSX with one on it. Manager doesn't like it. I have an 08 TSX. He said I could have it if he took my stock parts. He'd even pay the shop for labor on both.

I have a K&N Typhoon CAI. MPG is about the same as w/ stock intake...if you don't contract the "Anvil right-foot-itis." I did, and I didn't even notice it until I asked this very same question on Acurazine.
