I'm not asking which intake would make the most hp at high rpms or w/e, which style intake generally produces the best mpg if the car is driven for economy. I used to want to make my civic fast, and would floor it everywhere just to hear the engine and exhaust, but lately I've been driving like an old lady, hardly ever passing 2500 rpm.

If I drive slow, and stay below 3000 rpm, which style intake should help with my mpg? My long tube Aem cai, a short tube sri (either cut mine shorter or buy a "whale penis"), or something like the Comptech Icebox?
