Contact one of our vendors like Mr.Heeltoe or Excelerate and/or look in the sponsored sales section in the off topic section of the forum.

It won't hurt it but you won't see a significant increase in MPG.

Actually you'll probably get worse MPGs because you'll be flooring it light to light.

haha im not going to deny as soon as i hit 600 miles i shall be flooring it, but in general if i was to drive conservatively - lets say 70-75 on the highway would my mileage improve? Also when do you recommend I install the intake? I only have 98 miles on the car

I went from 22 mpg to 24 mpg after getting the AEM. I probably gained 1 from the CAI and another from my driving habits. I don't floor it to hear the growl...been there done that with my last car.

Yes, you will be too busy revving your car and flooring it just to hear tha CAI... So actually your mpg will get even worse... haha.. seriously tho' mine is getting better tho' cuz of freakin gas prices... AEM good choice bro... PEACE!

Should go check the acurazine black market. I think a couple of people are selling their AEM CAIs and you can always post a wanted ad there and see if you have any offers.

question.. Is there a difference in power gain if I get an AEM, Fujita or one of the cheap ones on ebay (the $50 dollar ones). Does it really matter what brand I get? Thanks
