it's a piece of pipe with a filter on it...it's not going to turn a civic into a corvette all the sudden.

 

- did you measure your actual mileage??? , the sensor needs to fit snuggly

 

would of been better off with a cai. sri doesnt give noticable gains, cai gives a couple more ponies. I doubt you messed anything up, its just a placebo effect. Your probly wasting a lot of gas because you keep flooring it around trying to find out if you gained or lost power

 

bingo

 

how can i get the sensor to fit snugly. The hold in the piping with the rubber thingy around it allows the sensor to slide back and forth but it isnt going to fall out.

 

dito with the fuel loss....... of course it gonna be sucken more fuel cause you DEFINATLY smash the gas pedal ALOT MORE because of that sweet sound it makes

its probably just your butt dyno is uncalibrated

with my CAI it sounded ALOT BETER so i stomped the gas pedal ALOT MORE which did hurt my milage by about 3-4mpg from before i instaled it..... but thier was never any performance gain my time 0-60mph was the same.. its just not enough HP to feel a huge difference.... we only talking what 2-3HP gain..... if anything it SOUNDS like its faster at least thats how mine is.... but then again im a automatic tranny....
