performance review:
it appears that the ATS intake will get you close to .4 mpg better on the hiway. I think city mpg would be better with the stock intake. power is different with the ATS vs stock, there is more percieved power above 1500 rpms with the ATS. However the opposite is true for below 1500 rpms... to me it feels like the stock manifold has more power below 1500 which makes me think the city mileage would be better with the stock manifold... (lots of stop & go)
