Gen5 Weapon R Dragon v6 Intake

I got the Weapon R Dragon intake installed. I love the sound and it looks great. For some reason my gas mileage has gone up. I'm getting 20 more miles per tank that's 270 miles per half tank. Niceee

I gotta seafoam and clean the TB while lid's open I'm not sure if i have the bracket thing right but hell, it's clamped on?

I just pumped 13.7 gallons today and the odometer had 362.7 miles which comes out to

!!!!!! 26.47 MPG now i don't know if i'm calculating it right but it sure does sound good. and i got more mileage at the halfway mark. Now i gotta seafoam and TB clean and hope for even better.

I've been driving slower than i have keeping an eye on RPMs more now. Trying to keep it under 2K when cruising around and using cruise control more.

one question, what do you do with all the vacuum hoses that connected to the oem air box. seems like most of the hose removed after the aftermarket intake installed. thanks

In the picture if you can see it. The hoses are hooked up in a T. Three of them are. The one that isn't hooked up was hooked up to the actuator or something? But since i've removed that it has no function.
