I often wonder the state of tune on the PCM when people say they can't get over 23 mpg on the highway when they granma it. I get that runnin around town.

Wonder if those who are getting bad mileage with a stock PCM if a reflash would help. It definately wouldn't hurt.

my gas mileage sucks... like 14-17 at the most, i never do highway driving though and i have a really really heavy lead foot

You know thats a good idea. ill have to invest into a tuner after i get my rims

i average 25mpg on the highway and on the better days 20-22 in the city, my gas mileage goes to crap when i ahve to spank around the rice rockets tho, but its worth it, even konsidering i only run high-test in my forced induction application

I'm hitting 22mpg driving country/city (no highway) and romping on the gas every now and then. That's also with a crappy, half-a** tune running rich.

Ok here are a couple pics. Nothing fancy, but I think it turned out ok. I tried to find a 9" K&N filter around but everyone had to order it, so I just bought some $38 one at Oreiley's. I assume they can't perform much different, air filter design can't be rocket science.





I probably should have paid more attention to the direction that rubber coupler was pointing. It doesn't look so nice with all the print showing.

PS: I know it's a dirty engine. I'll clean it someday.

I think the altitude here plays a roll. Sense I've had the car, I could only get 18mpg in the city. 14 mpg with a lead foot, And the hills diffently don't help. Now when I go to texas for vacation, I get 31 mpg highway....For the new guys, my altitude is about 5k ft above sea level.......

I think it looks good, When I did this I lost 3mpg from stock airbox. But I hate the sound of it on first startup.

I haven't noticed much difference in the sound on startup. I have to open it up 1/2 throttle before I can get much more sound out of it. I was interested in hearing the start up gurgle that lots of people describe. Oh well.

i love the sound on startup! but mine makes all sorts of noises...lol

That setup looks pretty nice

That is the filter I just bought. I decided to get away from KN for th first time!

Well.... it sure is colorful.... and chromey. I can't think of any reason it shouldn't work just fine. Plus it was about $15 cheaper.

Same story, I installed this TODAY. Basically a K&N clone and chrome never sucks so I went with it. After the battery disconnect, I've put 50 miles on the car and the PCM still seems way off.

Possible Thread Jack: I installed the Cone as close as possible to the hood ducts to get a ram air effect. Is this better than running it closer to the headlight?

where did you guys get the tubes from

The pep boys ricer section for chromed aluminum generic 4" diameter pieces. Still hard to find cause most Honda's are 3" diameter. But you can always use Hardware store rubber plumbing pipe.
