15.4 in general on the last two times I drove the car. My tank average right now is 20.4 and I baby it, except for the last two drives since I was showing the intake to friends.

There has been much talk about the actual gain of hp through these aftermarket intakes and many have said the stock box is the way to go with the joez tube. all the other intakes suck in hot air from the engine bay which in turns equals loss of power(this is just what i learned from reading post after post, but dont quote me on anything). just because a company says theres hp gain doesnt mean its true.

I understand marketing and all, but what about dyno sheets? I'll go out on a limb and say I trusted the dyno sheet provided by LMS that showed the actual gains.
