So after hearing several times that you can get better gas mileage by cutting your intake in half i decided to do just that. But i didn't want to reck my apc intake so i make a couple of mods to my stock intake which you can see. So i'm starting my test today and i will let you guys know if there is any difference.

 

good luck man do you hear a louder roar when you accelerate, around 2-2.5 range?

 

I did something very similar for awhile. I put a short ram intake from a '95 Civic DX in my '96 Accord LX.

The only thing I really got out of it compared to a proper intake was better (i.e. louder and deeper) sound. The gas mileage seemed to go up by 1-2 MPG too, but that was probably just wishful thinking.

Honestly, I think it's a bad idea. Too much dirty air right there.

 

good luck im thinkin of gettin an aem cai soon tell me how that works...thanks

 

thats too far back, you'll end up just sucking hot air.

 

you want better gas mileage, make sure your plugs, wires and rotor are all good and upgrade the stock coil to an MSD, I went from around 25mpg to ~30mpg average on my EX.

Also... the filter is too close to the motor... you'll just be sucking in heat from the motor and as we all know, hot air is not good for performance... trim the blue hose down some too.

 

this is as cold air as it gets w/o it actually being a CAI
3" all the way baby!
