hey,
I installed this chrome intakes ram air on my ST a few months ago and since I've installed it I've gotten about 100km/tank less than i used to with my stock intake. Was I wrong in thinking the gas mileage would get better if not stay the same? could i have possibly done something wrong? (it's pretty simple, i don't think i goofed on anything.) |

but are you getting more power in return?
anyway, here's my guess: short ram (as mentioned above) = warmer air coming in possible solution: switch to cold-air intake next, chrome intake piping = greater heat transfer. possible solution: go back to the stock piping and finally, reset the ECU and see if you get any results.
