hey guys, is it true that cold air induction or just a pod will reduce fuel consumption???? what about on a turbo???

Thanx!

 

The CAI may make better fuel economy, but that is more due to the driver's driving habit than anything else. I recently added a CAI to my Max, and the 1st thing I noticed was the the torque band had fattened up all over the place. I guess the CAI added 3 ft-lb across the entire rev band. Because of that, I tend to be more likey to shift gears at lower RPMs, like 2500 instead of 3000. Because of that, I get better fuel economy Of course, this was after I went thru the lead footing phase just to see how much the CAI opened up the car

yeh..it saves as much gas as i save with my supercharger...
blah

Thanx guys especially you for your sarcasm VIC!!!!

But does anybody have any real evidence about the CAI and fuel consumption???? (No offense boyz)

 

Yeah if I drive normaly it will beat what the max is suppose to get per gallon by maybe 2 miles. But that is only when I feel like my grandma.

 

I installed a Stillen Hi-flow intake and a GReddy Catback exhaust system at about the same time 3 years ago. I got an immediate 10% gain in mpg. My best gas mileage to date is 32+ mpg, 480 miles on 14.9 gallons (US)! On that tank, most of the driving was on a highway, during which time I drove behind a big black Mercedes for 40 minutes at 100+ mph. Pretty good for a northern hemisphere car, if I do say so myself...
