Okay, well I installed the cheap Japanese short ram intake and really didn't like that it was pointing at the radiator so I modified mine a little bit with a hacksaw.

I've gone through two tanks of gas with it installed and I have seen absolutely ZERO increase in MPG.

The next modification I'm going to make is I'm going to use some PVC piping and bring cold air up from the ground and have it forced into the end of the intake effectively making it a CAI.

The crappy part about this is this all isn't smog legal so it'll have to come off in January when I have to go get the car smogged. :/
