i took off my intake resonator and it seems that my gas mileage is shitty now. any one else experience this

 

because you are naturally more inclined in stomping on the gas pedal to hear the sweet growl now?

 

maybe thats it, but i still think its drawing more gas.

 

common sense tells you that has nothing to do with your mileage, all depends on how you drive

 

well common sense would also inform me or my driving habits. so no im not flooring it all the time it was snowing and raining here and common sense would say "drive crazy in the rain and u'll crash" thats what common sense tells me. im just tryna find out b/c i pulled the resonator off is there a lil more air being pulled iin or not.

 

correct me if im wrong but cnt you just switch the headrests?

 

headrest? umm i think wrong thread

 

removing that just lets your engine breathe better - when it needs too. Doesnt draw in anymore air during normal driving - only under WOT. that is why a CAI only gives gains in the high RPM range because the stock intake delivers plenty of air for low RPM driving.

 

how did this get in here???? hummm

the resonator would have nothing to do with mileage. its for sound purposes only!

technically yes it would allow more air in the engine, but that is controlled by the throttle. air doesnt just go into the engine with out the throttle.

 

LOL kris is on drugs, don't mind him <- rofl smiley

 

There never was an answer, can't you just change the headrests?
