Just had to brag a little, got done driving 200 miles, and averaged 31.8mpg! Now thats some good stuff right there!

Such a sweet car!

Would an intake be worth my time and $? I know there are other threads, just don't have a ton of time to look around. Mainly want MPG and not power!

Thanks!
Later Ya'll

 

I heard the J-pipe gives you a little more MPG I dont know about the intake I believe it gives like 1-2 more MPG but im not positive. 31.8 MPG is impressive though

 

Most of the time any added benefit given from a cold air or jpipe will be lost from the more aggressive driving style. Either way performance from a cold air intake would be little to none. maybe a few HP can be measured on a dyno but wouldnt be felt by your butt-meter...and if someone says otherwise its their mind playing games. I think most on this forum get cold air intakes for their sound.

 

i am a cruise control maniac lol. i drive 20 miles to and from work everyday all interstate, and 90% interstate drive all the time for work. just didn't know if the intake would help at all.

and would the j-pipe be any louder than stock? i need to keep it sounding stock if possible!

 

a jpipe with stock exhaust doesnt get louder than stock..
maybe a deeper tone.


but passengers didnt even know i upgraded my jpipe. thats how stock it is.

 

hmmm..... i'm interested now. how hard is this j-pipe to put on?

 

if anyone can tell me j-pipe pricing and install steps that would be great. i've searched google and here and can't find them. must be the markers i sniffed earlier?

 

all 3 different kind of j-pipes you can buy -- http://www.heeltoeauto.com/home.php?cat=1847

 

and im sure if you type in "j pipe install" in the search bar on acurazine you'll get tons of threads....

 

OP, i think your typeS would look better with other wheels
Let me take those stock ugly wheels off your hands LoL

 

I could not find you a DIY but I did read somewhere that you want to put WD-40 on the bolts a day before taking them off, but as far as installation goes I believe its just a remove and replace, good luck.

 

Wow, almost 32 MPG-I'm jealous!

 

Wow that's great. First pure hwy trip in my TL-S today about 100 miles and I averaged 29 mpg. Not bad for 4 people in the car cruising at 75-80 mph.

I like the title of this thread....

 

wow, some good mpg there, yea when getting ready for the j-pipe install soak the bolts with wd-40 or similar to loosen the rust and corrosion, makes it a lot easier
