shouldnt hurt your gas mileage too much, the stock intake is a cold air intake, therefore putting a hot air sucker onto your car will only increase throttle response slightly. The engine doesnt have to strain as much to get the air with a sri, and when it does get the air its going to be hot so no hp gain... MAYBEEE a slight decrease in gas mileage. Cold air will give you a small noticable gain in hp and throttle response should feel like stock, gas mileage wont increase or decrease.

There is a rumor that intake delivers MORE air so a bigger exhaust is needed to balance the engine out (more in-more out), but its mostly whoee because intake doesnt deliver "more" air, just delivers it faster or colder.

All in all a sri may hurt gas mileage ever so slightly and cold air will make no noticable difference. Exhaust is not needed in gaining gas mileage out of any intake, exhaust is mainly for hp.
