You'll like it. I didn't have as "noticeable" of a difference as I expected (but that happens with everything for me), but the sound is awesome.

I dunno about the MPG, the car just now has 5000mi. and the intake has been on since around 2000mi. Too many variables to know. - Breaking in, northeast winter gas, my driving changes often (city/highway). But again, not to burst any bubbles, but I wouldn't expect anything real noticeable in the MPG department.

Hmmm well in winter time isnt mpg better than summer time? Well looks like ill have to do some of my own research see if it really helps. I tend to be a MPG junky even with this type of car. Never hurts to own an Infiniti and still get great mpg for the power we get.

In the colder climates, NO. They change the winter blend of gas which negatively affects MPG. Not sure if the same is true for California.


So, did you get the intake yet!?

No im actually a bit mad cause i havent received a tracking number or email From anyone the only email i got was the invoice. I called but no one answers but im guessing since its the thanksgiving weekend. I just hope it was shipped since i ordered tuesday morning. if it wasnt shipped then that sucks!
