Default Fuel economy better

The v8 gets about another 30-40 km per tank from the cai and goes heaps better, i couldnt recommend a decent cai enough what a cheap boost!!!!!! :sm_headba It easily gets 400 km with 60 ks left on the dte where as it used to get roughly 350 360, and thats all city driving. :evil_laug

Any fuel saving is good. When i fitted my cai i got about an extra 50-80km per tank. Thats 50-50 driving.

Through the side of the airbox{passengers side} out through an elongated hole that the purge solenoid lines and carbon cannister lines run through. Down next to the back of the light and down under the bumper where it comes out at the air deflector which i trimmed up and air flows straight into it. Could possibly b more economical than i think i have only run about 1 tank through it so far.
