Quote: For years now some people ignore the fact that the factory air intakes already draw cold air from inside the fender or front bumper area.
And at speed on the highway, the fender is a high pressure zone
With the low throttle openings at cruise I fail to see how a better flowing intake or a smooth tube will improve MPG at all. When intake draw is so low, how much flow do you need? This is like the teeny boppers putting huge cone filters on their civics and seeing no improvement. On a v8 I could see the an aftermarket air intake offering some improvement as the factory ones tend to be designed as a compromise between performance and noise. But even then, I doubt they are designed that bad.
