The Fast Lane Performance intake yielded 30.46 mpg on the highway. Can someone post the mpg yeilded once placing the Frankencar Intake on. Everybody is asking for numbers, numbers, numbers. Will these numbers are accurate. If there are any questions as to how i came about them. Post it!!!!!!!! Other than that, lets get some numbers, sound clips, whatever, because it seems as though everyone is raving about what they have bought which is perfectly normal because no one wants to think they bought an inferior product. But for those who haven't bought the intake, let's give them something other than a name or opinion when they SEARCH. As i said on previous posts i'm working on that pic people. Come on Frankencar and Fast Lane owners, lets have them, and the rest of the people who just have either pop chargers or CAI, your opinion is valid. But in the same instance only numbers from owners of either intake can truly assist future customers of Frankencar or Fast Lane Performance in deciding which hybrid to buy. So this means unless people do some real testing this post might remain unanswered for a while. Oh yeah, if there have been fitment issues post them as well. Lets break this down for fellow org. members the same way the Budget and WSP y-pipe thing has been discussed.

 

Not trying to bust your ba!!s but wasn't that someone you?

When are you going to get some dyno results, because I'm trying to decide which one to order within this week?

 

Yes I was guilty of giving opinions without numerical proof. But instead of going on and on about other aspects of the pipe, I have only decided to tell what i've found out for myself, MPG. To determine which intake is louder can only be measured by someone who has the equipment to read db levels. And for power we need some members give us some dyno readings. I gotten dynoed with this intake yet but i plan to in the very near future. I'm only asking for those who have any other findings to list them. This can in turn help out the guys or the gals who can't quite make up there mind betweeen the two products. I've made up my mind and bought my intake, but there are others from reading these posts who haven't.

This post and thread is for the numbers of org. members who are deciding on which intake. So lets give them some info rather than a lot of back and forth opinons with no actual numbers.

Fast Lane Performance 30.46 MPG HIGHWAY

 

You know, not to put a monkey wrench in your intentions but, I could get really good gas mileage by putting a RESTRICTION in my intake path.

 

Not a monkey wrench in my plans but rather the individuals waiting to hear more numbers about either one of these products numbers. But if that yields you better gas mileage, by all means, put the restriction on.

 

At the expense of hp? Nope

 

I don't blame you

 

Seems like you're trying to say Fast Lane is better than FrankenCar. I'll post numbers the next time I take a long trip. I went from Boston to NYC (221 miles) on just under a 1/4 tank of gas with the Frankencar intake when before I'd get there on a half. Being as both intake do the same thing (reduce the resistance of the airflow to the engine), I don't see how one would be better than the other especially from a MPG standpoint. Anyway people here add mods to go faster, not to gain MPG's and if the majority cared, we would have a sticky thread for "Highest MPG: Post your highest mileage and gas receipts."

I assume you are making the Fast Lane Intake and trying to find a "slick" way to dog the others (particulary Steve's). He's dynoed his 2k2 and I will be dynoing for the 4th gen autos to see what the gains are. As far as mileage goes, I don't think there will be a difference. As far as performance goes with the Frankcencar intake, my car hauls a**.

 

You sound kind of silly you should do a search and see that i praised steve for coming out with the intake as well as wished him well on keeping it up. I tried to order from the man but there were mad back orders. Do your research on someone before you start assuming or guessing what their agenda is. Check my sig, i'm learnig from you guys, why in the world would i make one, that's you and steve's thing.

 

i'm not just knee-jerk replying to be a hater, but...

the increase could be any number of things. the way to iron out any errors is to take your average MPG, so over three or more fill-ups. I've gotten 280 miles to the tank and 380 miles to the tank. this depends on a lot of different variables, some that you can't control. so in the interest of leveling the playing field, let's compare MPG average and please post lots of data, like:

• weather conditions (temperature, too)
• tire pressure
• payload (in trunk/passengers, etc.)
• octane rating of the gas
• temperature
• if you were idling more than normal
• average driving speed
• auto or manual
• driving style

if not, it isn't a fair comparison. I could drive like a bat out of hell in the city and get 250 miles on a tank, you could drive like a grandma on the highway and get 400 miles to the tank. Also take into account maintenance. A well maintained car with clean air and fuel filters, new oil and proper tire pressure will have better mileage than one that is driven into the ground and not taken care of.

 

Ok...I should say this post is silly and stupid. Actually, it doesn't help us in anyway. And if you were learning from "us guys", you wouldn't be name calling over the the internet. So save it.

 

Excellent, this is what i'm talking about. Well when i tested the mpg i drove 73 mph for about 85-90% of the trip. The trip was 198 miles. The temperature at the time of the trip was 89 degrees. I hjave an auto. I also had two other passengers in the car, with no big speakier box and i still have my spare. The trip was non stop accept for one section of the trip on 83 were there was somewhat of a tie up were i dropped to around 50-55 mph. Cruise control was on for most of the trip. 198 miles; 6.5 gallons 30.46mpg

 

You can say its silly if you want, but i know there are some potential customers for you and steve as well as rich and bruce if people had some numbers. Don't forget that everyone on here isn't interested in getting to the track to run 1/4's. Don't get me wrong, most of us are, but most people on here use their cars as daily drivers and would like to have our mods encompass performance, reliability, as well as be efficient. The post might be dumb to you but not to others. And i wasn't calling you , silly but rather the comment, especially when i posted a tread praising Steve not to long ago called "Thanks Steve...". I'm a consumer and like many others on the org, i want to know everything about a product before i by it. And if i can give why not, why is that so silly. And if i made you mad, my bad, i'm not trying to fight or argue.

 

that's definately an improvement over stock gas mileage on the highway, have you tried city? also it'd be great if you can try this over a few tanks, the ecu is supposed to adjust fuel/air mixtures continuously, but maybe it's just like the Y-pipe where you need to give it a few hundred miles to feel the full effects. the mixture may just be leaned out, giving you great mileage, but like I said, as far as I know the ecu adjusts the mixture constantly. Either way, other people's results would be great to see, too!
