Nope, those things do NOT count as an intake system in my book. Why? Because a complete intake system starts at the intake air horn and terminates at the cylinder heads, and as such includes filter element, filter housing, plumbing between the filter housing and the throttle body, throttle body (if so equipped), intake plenum, intake runners and fuel injector ports (if not mounted in the heads). The K&N system terminates at the throttle body best case scenario, and further upstream worst case. Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: ruking1 (Aug 13, 2007 1:21 pm) I drove my 07 Civic EX to Memphis last week. On the tank up I drove 300 miles interstate and then about 50 miles around the Memphis area. I filled up before the trip home and it checked in at 36 mpg. That was in blistering heat with A/C running constantly and driving 74 or so on the interstate. On the trip home and about 65 more miles of my wife driving to school and back for a few days mpg dropped to 34. So not too bad. I am looking forward to cooler weather to see what the Civic can do without the A/C. BTW, I filled up in West Memphis, AR, price of gas was $2.45/gal!!! I'm so jealous.
