Hi, I was planning on getting a Stillen High Flow Intake, I was wondering will this have any effect on my gas mileage, there pretty shytty as it is right now on my max. Thanks for help

 

Don't. Not because it sucks but cause it's stillen. They charge you out the *** for parts. Get a hybrid intake from ebay and replace the filter with a k&n, kool blue, or air hog.

 

if you can pick one up for a deal get it, but yea go cheaper with a nicer filter.

the only reasion i got the Jim Wolfe was because somone gave it to me for a deal. i got a y-pipe and the JWT intake for $150

 

oooh ok, thanks for help, still wondering if changing the intake and filter will have any effect on gas mileage

 

it would probely help alittle but you would never notice it....

on the other hand it probely won't cause you drive alot more aggresive to hear the intake!

 

yeah... and that KILLS!!!! your gas mileage.. first two tanks of gas after i got my intake went in like 260 miles each..

 

I was just about to asked the same thing for the exhaust, I installed a rear muffler and the 3' tip no cat back the rest is stock. Does this effect the gas mileage?

What about the Frankencar? I'm thinking about ordering a Frankenkar intake with an Apexi filter; does anyone have any experience with this?

Previously I was averaging about 25.5 mpg, or about 350-400 miles to a tank (I do a lot of highway driving).

Ha ha and are you sure your drop in fuel economy isnt because you can't help getting on it to hear the sound of a new exhaust and intake?

 

Well I can only speak for myself. I drive the same as I did without the exhaust plus I don't want mine to be loud so I don't step on it and I have the silencer inside the tip.(maybe that's my problem)

A muffler does nothing but changes the sound a bit. Worthless mod.

 

it was most definately because of stomping on it.. its just so much fun.. i didnt tell my roomate i put it in and took him on a ride.. he was like what the hell did you do to this thing...

 

I got a Stillen for about $150, it probably does help a little with gas.. but of course you shift at higher RPM's cuz it sounds sooo damn good, so it probably won't help you out that much. But for all you that say stillen sux... you suck!

 

Very good, I feel so offended. Stealin' doesn't suck they just take advantage of the small maxima market.
