I have the y7 intake manifold (vertical throttle body), and right now I just have a K&N filter connected to the throttle body. So there is no arm or anything.

I was wondering if this is bad for performance and gas mileage?

Thanks for any input

 

It'll probably soak up heat since it's so close to the engine, but other than that I don't see any harm.

Yeah, it's been on there for 9 months haha.

But, I was wondering if I would get better gas mileage with the actual intake arm on there?

you would probalay get better gas mileages but thats my opinion. i also do that when i have to take off my CAI when its pouring outside

 

any more input?

 

where do you put the sensor that usually goes in the side of the intake?

 

it's just ziptied near the intake

 

 

ttt

 

my question is basically: would I be getting better gas mileage with the stock intake on there?
