I got crap *** gas mileage on my civic after the CAI installation. After I added my aftermarket exhaust, it seemed to be back to normal again.

The bad gas mileage isnt coming from the intake itself, its coming fromt he extra throttle that is being applied so u can hear that cool intake sound. Try driving it very easy and i gaurantee you'll get your mileage back.
