I don't believe that K&N makes any compete induction systems for cars, only air filtration devices and their associated housings and plumbing.

New Civic Si Sedan- MPG by puzman

My daily commute is 2/3rds cruising around 50 on rural roads, then 70+ on freeway, then 5 mins or so of stop-and-go. First two tanks were during break-in (no trips above 5000 RPM):
 
27.5 mpg, 29 mpg
 
Third tank after break-in (at least one trip/day to redline), and overall more agressive driving : 27.5 mpg
All tanks were during heavy AC use. I think this is pretty impressive for a performance car. I imagine with less A/C use and less agressive driving, I could easily break 30 mpg.

they make actual intakes, does that count as a full system?

No, K&N does not make any full intake systems; all they make is the filter, the filter housing and the necessary plumbing to fit the filtration device to your car.
 
I suggest that before we raise the ire of our hosts any further, we put a lid on this discussion, and if necessary, continue it over in the "Gas Saving Gizmos & Gadgets" discussion.
