2000 Civic EX Breathing
I've been thinking about getting an intake for my 2000 Civic EX (D16Y8). I know that it'll increase power slightly, but it will also increase gas mileage too. I was thinking what if I just got an AEM filter and put that on the end of the snorkle?

in calculation more air = more fuel used.. may be more efficient this way but its not going to change your fuel mileage as much so as a header would. a chipped ecu with a conservative tune would give u better gas mileage then just slapping a intake on for the ecu to compensate for.

What about that K&N Lifetime filter that's made of metal mesh? If I cleaned it out every 3 weeks, for example, would that improve breathing?
