Cold air intake and mpg
Simple question here: Does the mpg get worse with the cold air intake ? Could you feel a difference in performance ? Does it make a loud sound ?
Sorry for the question, but I always had stock cars and since I got the xB, I started to play a little with modifications, anyway, can you help a beginner ?
My last question, I planning in getting a AEM and take it to a dealer to install, any experience doing that ?

You will feel a performance gain with a cold air intake. You will also hear the intake when you get on the gas pedal. Your foot will get heavy after the install. So your gas mileage will suffer in the begining .Unless you have your heart set on getting the AEM intake. I would go with the Injen intake because it's proven. Also it's easy to install so you could do it yourself, and save yourself some money for other mods.

The noise level isn't really that bad if you're not getting on the gas like what was said above...
As far as the extent of the noise it really depends on the brand of intake you get...some are more troaty sounding than others some are quieter just like with performance exhausts.... hope this helps a little!!!
it's not loud enough to get you pulled over if that's what you're worried about...
