the Apexi filter is better than that.

I must add this to this forum post for all to read...I bought my CAI to go faster as most of you have done, not to gain in fuel savings...I like to get my foot into the gas pedal and hear that Great sound that we get from them.
I also like the idea that it was a Fast and Cheap way for me to get another approx 10 horsepower out of my V6...and by the way...it was great to go back a couple of years and see what we were talking about then: seems to be the same thing that we still talk about today in the 2007 forums

200 dollers
for 1-2 mpg
you guys make me laugh.
intake=sound/looks
no so much performance.
if you want better gas mileage, dont rev over 3000 and you should be fine. biggest differernce is how you press the accelerator.

nate ..... while you are laughing at others, realize that the intake is free in about 2 years if 1.5 mpg is achieved.
12,000 mi per yr / 20 mpg = 600 gallons used per year
1.5/20 = 0.075 0.075*600 gal = 45 gallons saved per year
45 gallons per year * $2.50 per gal = $112.50 per year saved on gas
Note that gas is more expensive than $2.50 per gallon, so the payback period is actually less than 2 years ...... how long do you own cars before you sell them?

klr: That's assuming that you can control yourself enough to get better MPG with it on ...... I rev the hell out of my J30! 7k every day!!!

Actually since i've gotten my cat back installed, I've been riding it really hard...
I can't help it, i love the sound, and the performance boost... Yet I'm somehow still managing to get just about the same MPG (at this point, it's still spot on at 31mpg).
I'm surprised to say the least, but hey, i can't complain!
Now when I get my CAI installed this weekend, we'll see how that goes....

When I behave I can get about 22-23 MPG
