hey,
I installed this chrome intakes ram air on my ST a few months ago and since I've installed it I've gotten about 100km/tank less than i used to with my stock intake. Was I wrong in thinking the gas mileage would get better if not stay the same? could i have possibly done something wrong? (it's pretty simple, i don't think i goofed on anything.) |
