Hello
I am looking for a ram intake that I can bolt on to increase gas mileage and performace and was wondering if this one is good quality.

Let me know if anyone has one of these or what people think of them.

I have also found this one. Is it worth paying more for this one?

if you really want one, get the cheap one, pretty much all 'ebay' brand ones are crappy hi polish ALIMINIUM (even if it says SS most are too dumb to chekc lol) and come with crappy filters.

just get a K&N drop in replacement.

a dirty cotton filter flows as good as a clean paper one.

Will the K&N make my car sound better and get better mileage?

no, neither will the SRI.

you will get a miniscule amoun tof milage gain (cleaner filter) but thats about it.

as for
1 performance, i never noticed a difference.
2 as for sound , WAY cooler.
3 mileage..don't know.

I noticed a difference in gas mileage with my SRI and bolt on Magnaflow muffler.

Without the two I used to get around 480 miles per tank of fuel... with the full to 3/4 mark being 120miles. I recently drove a long distance on the freeway again and I got approx 200 miles from full to 3/4. Now I'm not saying I'll be able to get 320 extra miles per tank... I'm just saying that I noticed a difference just in that fact and that will simply transfer over to the tank. I would be happy if I got 50 extra miles per tank. In the city I get around 300

... that 4banger is SLOW

I gave under 200 for both including installation of my muffler (I installed the SRI myself of course). It takes a lot of gas to make up for the difference of 200 bucks.. but I didn't buy it for fuel economy.... that's just and added benefit to me

Thanks
