Milage Decrease with intake
Has anyone's mileage decreased due to the installation of a CAI, mine sunk below 16MPG after putting in my new injen, could be me testing it out but I haven't been that bad.

So far my gas mileage has gone up with every mod I put on the car. Y-pipe yielding the most, intake second, exhaust third...

I've noticed my MPG went down, but I know that its because I'm always accelerating more.

Your gas mileage went down because you are flooring it more for sure. Mods tend to have that effect. But if you drove it the same as before your mileage would be better.
