i dont know, never really paid attention but i trashed mine and got an anderson ford filter on a power pipe. it definantly made a diffrence in power but im running 99+ octane gas and i make 8 passes in the 1/4 mile on a 1/4 tank and its time for more gas.

i think in theory it should assuming driving conditions are the exact same....which is near impossible. but because the motor can breath more freely (i.e less work) it should in theory improve milage. but i wouldnt expect anything noticable

It made a noticable differenceon the butt dyno and my gas mileage. I picked mine up for like 20 dollars off of fleabay and it was brand new. That's the route that I would go
