Forgot 355 gears getting 25 on the highway and 16 in the city, calculated using the US gallon and miles so my city sucks but highway is good, cruise usually 60 mph but I do give the truck a full throttle to the end work out! Then the mileage is messed up for days.

Can't really knock on "eGay" too much, I've gotten some good deals on stuff off of there for my Camaro. DocFluty's intake was off of there too I think, there's a thread floating around somewhere about it. As for your MPG....that's exactly why I went with the 3.55s and 2wd, don't need 4wd 95% of the time and if I want to go fast I have my bike or camaro lol my truck is my cruiser/bike transport. For the few hours I had it before hitting a deer, I was seeing an average of 19mpg mixed city/freeway and I was NOT being gentle with it the sales guy at the dealership who finally signed it over to me told me "there's no break in period, drive it as hard or easy as you want to it'll adapt to your driving style, just bring it back for your first oil change around 3500 miles". So I'm pretty happy with that 19mpg for now...time will tell if my regular commute will improve on that.

Alright... one day later... pics will be up later.
The intake pipe stays COLD.... definitely colder air going in even though the filter isn't WAY down.
The mpg difference so far with 50/50 city/hwy is about .5mpg higher. I'll keep an eye on it though for a few days.
The buttdyno registers some extra torque on the low end. I guess basically the throttle response is better.
That's it for now. Pics up later.

no caliathlete my intakes are not from ebay. my xdi came from autoanything.com and my mopar intake was a free gift from the guys at aem.
nothing wrong with an ebay kit, i had a nice one on my dakota that helped a lot
