Mpg after inlets installed

thurstonhowelltha3rd · 12-29-2016, 08:10 PM

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed an increase in gas mileage after installing inlets. I'm getting 33mpg while cruise control is at 75mph

Which inlets did you install?

thurstonhowelltha3rd · 12-30-2016, 11:23 AM

MMP....stock location.
I also had it tuned and Alpina TCU flashed all at the same time but the guy that tuned it for me said it's most likely because of the inlets

that definitely makes sense, you're getting lots of cool air going right to the intake while on the highway with your intake scoops

how are they in terms of performance gains? throttle response? intake sound? what sort of gains did you get? does it heatsoak or have problems sitting in traffic on a hot day, like are the gains most noticeable while you're already moving and getting fresh air?

Gains are awesome but I did inlets, dp, tune, and TCU flash all at the same time. Feels much more powerful down low and up high. Haven't had it out on a hot day yet. What's most noticeable is the power increase up top. Pulls hard till redline now.

nice, thats where you got the best airflow

quick tip for next time - the best way to let your ECU adjust is to do all your mods seperately.

EG. install inlets, drive a few hundred KM, do some full throttle pulls, then continue on to the next mod and repeat this process, finishing it all off with a tune.

your next step should be a secondary cat delete and downpipe

Downpipes installed. Plus stage 1 lpfp. Waiting on my tuner buddy to get back in town to install MHD. Then I'll start running some e85. FMIC is on the way.

Xpipe and PE mod coming soon. Keeping secondary cats.
