Need Info.....

I am looking to eventually do the MAZDASPEED CAI and Exhaust..... In the name of information, how do the both of these affect your fuel mileage? and the pros and cons to both would be greatly appreciated......

BTW... Waiting for my shark fin to come in.... Looks like it will be my first DYS mod! (Im quite mechanically challenged) :D

You will definitely want to stomp on the pedal a lot more than with a stock exhaust and intake. Basically, your fuel consumption will go down the crapper.

I meant to say... without changing driving habit..... I want to keep my mileage.... I get apprx 600Km a tank (no.. I do not drive aggressively...) If one were to want to keep it the same.... would you just then add the exhaust? This is purely an esthetics goal.

Do it . . . . .

Contact FLIPSPEED now and order the MS CAI and Exhaust.

You\'ll love it. ;)

Definately guzzles more fuel. I\'m use to it since I drive the car hard all the time.

You will notice a difference.;)

Intakes are known to increase gas milage slightly, although in combination with an exhaust you will probably get a decrease in milage. Although I doubt it will be drastic.

Intakes allow more air into the engine. Your computer may find the air fuel ratio to thin and may add more fuel to the mix negating your fuel economy expectations. Of course it may not if the mixture is within acceptable parameters. However, the temptation to stomp on the gas pedal is always there! Remember what happened to Eve. ;)

After the CAI install I\'ve noticed my heavy foot become a few pounds heavier. After a few days of driving I\'ve reverted back to my normal driving style. Looking at the gas needle now and the clicks obtained, there does seem to be a bit of change in regards to fuel consumption but nothing too drastic.
