Intake? Mpg?

[qexler]

Any proof in mpg increase from a k&n or injen intake? Also any word on decreased engine life from less filtration from said filter?

Also noticed the hps short ram and wonder if it's quality is pretty good
(Edit) a better question is if a 2010 corolla takeda intake will fit a 2014 corolla? I like its afe pro dry s which "claims" 99.2% filtration efficiency. Very impressive for a conical filter.

Also, will installing aftermarket intake void manufactor warranty?

Aftermarket intake will not void the warranty. They have to prove that your intake specifically caused the part in question to fail.

I haven't seen any proof of an mpg increase. Probably insignificant.

On a car like ours, I wouldn't worry about it. The only way I can see you getting better fuel mileage is by making a hot-air intake. AKA Grab the air from just over the exhaust manifold to cause a slightly leaner condition and be more efficient.

In this case... stock > *

So... Mileage wise we see no improvement, but performance wise what are we expecting to see in gains in regards to hp/tq?

 

[qexler]

I believe we See something like 4 hp and 8 torque. However acceleration is smoother. I just wondered if takeda fit a 2014 because I read its the best corolla intake out

On the face of it, correct.

Now, if the aftermarket filter let's more dirt into the intake manifold and that ends up making a valve stick ...

Unless you go to a very high quality intake, you're likely getting a hyped-up intake that does almost nothing and can cause engine damage. K&N intakes are not worth the money. Theirfilters let in a lot more contaminates than a higher quality aftermarket intake filter or even a $10 paper filter from your local parts store.

Doing the posted speed limit on a 300+ mile trip (anywhere from 55-70mph), I was able to get 40mpg with my S+ CVT with an Injen CAI. There was no other trickery going on...didn't shut the car off or shift into neutral...just drove with cruise control.

Well I have a takeda sri on the way. Ive been told by many its an identical engine from 2012 and the takeda fits that year. So thats what I went for.
