Default Intake Mods?

Have any of you ECO Drivers added an after market intake?

If so, what has been the MPG increase?

It does not increase. It will take MPG away. I know this because I had one installed for 3 months, then took it off because it did decrease.

a CAI take off about 1-3 MPG...

I did not see any MPG gain. HP yes, the car felt like it had more go.

THe main thing I did not like is how the engine and tranny reacted to the intake. It seemed like the low speed shifting problem was worse.
