Default It works!!! Increased gas mileage!!

Pictures and description I'll post later tonight. I'm on iPhone now.

Driving through stop and go traffic 40 miles out of 100 everyday. Driving like an idiot. Pedal to the floor chasing Other land rovers I saw. Driving heavily to hear my new improved exhaust and intake. And revving in the driveway to show friend exhaust. Normally I would have gotten 14.5 mpg

I AVERAGED 17mpg.

Fuke? Well I got 20mpg highway last week and 17 mpg combined this week. I'll test it one more week before I say for sure but I think
The results speak for themselves.

ALL I did was put a cheap cone gauze type filter on it.
Feel free to hate and say stuff about water crossing. Intake is higher now anyways and I'm gonnna work on building a shroud to stop any splashing and stuff.

I'm keeping my stock intake incase I get a snorkel!

IM AVERAGING 18.5 mpg. Can't wait to get the Volvo chip and I have a few other ideas.

I can't BELIEVE THIS.

I could care less. Plus I hear the D1 sensors are cleanable unlike d2.

I have a spare maf anyways.

It already came oiled.

everytime I pop the hood I forget its there and look around to make sure nobody sees it, I dont want to look rice. It was cheaper than the spectre RPM buy like 2$ but it has chrome I prefer no chrome but whatever..

I believe the bigger the filter the better. I wasn't going to bother replaceing the stock filter with knn i think the stock box just restricts flow too much.

Im going to go to the junk yard and get a spare air box top and cut the straigt part off with the clamps and attach the filter to that.. Ill probably put the air temperature sensor in the line somewhere, but its fine where its at now [ZIP TIED] still measures air temerature.


I know Im ghetto right? IDK .. 17MPG YEAA!!!

What you think I spent 25$ BEFORE I proved more flow = better?
