But truth is i just haven't monitored it.

Fact is...this WILL improve performance. It WILL sound better. It WILL look better under the hood. It will PROBABLY get better gas mileage. And it WILL be worth the money. But if you are expecting it to get prius level of gas mileage and suddenly have ferrari performance...no. This differences will be negligable. The sound alone makes this mod worth it to ME.
What you talking about Willis? I was told Pirus mpg & at least Ferrari performance on a bad day...... j/k. I'm tossing & turning b/w the Stillen CAI & the Takeda CAI.

OK, done some more work.

When I bought my Nismo it was in Modesto CA, and I live in Bakersfield CA. Its a 3.2 hour drive. I drove 80mph all the way home. I remember the gas mileage average because I was impressed with what it got for a sports car.

From Modesto to Bakersfield it was an average of 23.3 mpg

Now, I just took the car to Long Beach this last friday with the new Stillen Intake.
From Bakersfield to Long Beach driving 80mph, I got 26.3 mpg!

Bakersfield to Long Beach is only 2 hour drive, but I never reached 26 before, not even close! I hope this helps those who are interested. I think that is a huge jump.

Nice! I assume you went to the Mundials Dan? Awesome Jiu-Jitsu and improved MPG to boot!
