I am going to buy a cold air intake for 95 honda accord ex vtec sohc, but am having a hard time deciding on which cold air system to buy, I am buying it for the sole purpose to improve gas mileage. I don‘t care about speed, torque, rpms or whatever, just lowering my gas bill.i have looked at articles saying cold air intakes don‘t really improve anything because they have to be at roughly 5k-6k rpm to increase performance, which i understand completely. I never hit that high of rpms in my car, i just cruise in my tuner. So, seasoned vets thats have cold air systems in your cars, i call on you, what setup would be best to achieve higher mpg in my car???? again, i want MPG not HP hahaha
Not trying to be silly here but does it have a center carrier bearing (two piece drive shaft) on the shaft? If so the yoke will not slide into the trans at all. You must remove one of the u-joints to separate. If it is a single shaft then there is some obstruction inside the trans preventing slide. You may have more issues than a throw out bearing/clutch problem. Could easily have a broken shaft inside Trans. That would produce a sound similar to a bad T/O Bearing

hi the main purpose of an intake is to let your engine breath better thus boosting your hp a few points and with any performance or power gain your gonna use a little more fuel for the best mileage stick to the stock intake if you want a extra few hp then try aem or k and n intake kit for your car both work great wish you the best hope you get everything tuned just how you want it
Factory air-boxes are way better than most aftermarket cold air intakes. The engineers at the factory didn't spend all that time designing the intake to suck air from the fender, hood, or some other location outside of the engine bay just for hell of it. The only disadvantage of factory intakes is air flow. They are usually pretty restrictive. So if you get an aftermarket intake, and suck the air from outside the engine bay, you are most certainly going to see an increase in power. Every 10* temp change is equal to 1HP! So if you're cooling the air at the manifold by 50*-100*, that's 5-10HP. Doesn't seem like a whole lot, but a true 5-10Hp is quite a bit, and it's a lot more when combined with other aftermarket mods.
cold air intake is all crap, the car comes from the factory with a cold air intake on it the throttle body flows max air already, you cannot improve it enough to justify a 300 dollar sewerpipe with an air filter on it, if you want to get the best mpg for your car is clean air filter, clean oil and buy qualify gas such as chevron with techron you want better mileage, toss out all the extra weight you don't need back seat door panels head liner, carpet, stereo plastic trim, drill one inch holes in the body, and cover them with duct tape if it makes you happy, or else do what we all do, live with what you have. good luck you can buy a lot of gas for that sewer pipe 300 dollar air filter, keep your money in your poket its safer there and does more good.
