I was wondering on how your intakes affected your gas mileage because my friend said that it ruines your gas mileage and I didn't see this in my car so I was wondering on what affect an intake has.

no it didnt hurt gas mileage if anything it might have helped it a lil but thats just me
DREW
it acually helps you gas millage. i remember when i had my intake on and was getting like 320 miles per full tank. meaning i would run it until the emptank light comes on. but now that i dont have the intake in, i get about 290 at full tank.
so i think it helps. It also depends on how a person drives.

Well if the intake is actually doing what its supposed to do and getting more air through your intake system into the engine then it will hurt your gas mileage since your ecu will adjust the air/fuel mixture to compensate. I think thats your vaf sensor that measures air intake? Thats my take on it anyways.
Most mods that increase power will effect gas mileage considering alot of mods involve increasing air/fuel mixtures, atleast the effective ones.

Yeah. Gas mileage is so hard to measue really accurately and consistently that you won't be able to tell.
