Ok, I searched through posts looking to see if anyone has experience with the AFE Intake, and I found none.

Does anyone have this intake on their xB and if so, are you happy with it?

Thanks.

 

I helped my brother in law put one on his truck. It seems like a pretty solid unit. He is happy with it and claims he gets better throttle response but can't tell if t he performance is better. Usually CAI's give you better throttle response. Anyway when I was helping him (read me doing work, him drinking beer) it seemed like a good quality piece.

 

they just recently came out for the xb. i havent heard of anyone running one yet

 

Thinking about the Injen Is2100 or the AFE unit...just can't decide.

Does anyone know if these cold air intakes help fuel economy compared to stock, everything else being equal?

Thanks.

 

In theory yes they do help fuel economy, but when most people put one on they floor the car every chance they get, once the novelty wears off and you start driving less like a jack hole you notice the mpg come up.

Interesting, your post is on here 3 times!!!

That's why I said everything else being equal. I am really looking more for mileage than performance. I drive very conservatively.

I'll make a decision soon.

Thanks.

 

sorry, technical difficulties. Mods you can delete two of the posts

 

just do it yourself, anyways yes fuel economy goes up because your now running your engine leaner than before.

 

i just ordered one last week, I'll put it in middle of next week.

 

Just install the aFe Intake on xb about a month ago it's ok i would say go with k&n or the injen instead

 

2 main things i like about it

1) i can keep the lower portion of the airbox which my inlet is routed to

2) aFe takes up the ugly void left by removing the stock setup

 

I have the Stage 2 on my XA and I have no problems with it. It is the exact same intake for the XB, but it looks somewhat stock and noticed a change in torque. I can't tell you about the XB stage 1 since it is specically for that.
