Default I COLD AIR INTAKE....WHICH 1 IS BETTER FOR FUEL ECONOMY?

I would like to find a cold air intake that provides fuel economy AND is quiet or just a plain old replacement air filter(like K+N), thanks.

Actually the trick to improving fuel economy is to completely submerge the intake in water and then go out for a drive. The car will pull so much harder and you'll get like 35 miles per gallon!!!!

Seriously, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. I think my head my explode on the next intake thread. At least could we switch it up to "which exhaust should I get" every now and then? Bah...

It depends on the OP goals of performance for the car. Hopefully, he will at least know better than to put the intake into water.

Performance and MPG do NOT go hand in hand. One or the other.
