no worries bro.... that's what we're all here for. And just an FYI.... if your mileage is truly that bad and you drive decent. burning half a tank and going 50 miles.... unless you were driving 100 mph to do it... you may have a fairly serious blockage in the line or filter.

These issues just recently started to happen as well, the months I've had my intake on were trouble free.

I want to take it to the dealership but should I remove the intake first?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I don't drive hard, I drive at the speed limit or very close to it and that I'm taking it to pep boys later today but I'd like to hear people's input first

Yeah there are good for 100 miles and stuff. but it doesnt hurt to changed them. thats what was messing my car up. and did you get the maf cleaner? you try that yet?
