what are you getting?..could be some clogged filters, something you're overlooking with the intake, faulty sensors, lots of stuff...need a little bit more info i guess, but particularly, what are you getting?

i havent calculated a full tank, but half a tank, i got around 18 or so....im gonna try fuel filter and oil change first, (because i need those anyways)....and also, if that doesnt solve it, im gonna try cleaning the throttle body, then i dunno after that.....also the other day, i had rough idling, about 500 rpm's....so thats why i wanna change my oil and such...it only happened for a few seconds tho, then went away

18 isnt TOO far off from normal. maybe you're just subconsiously getting on the gas a little harder now that you have the intake because you like the new noise.
