Intake - Toyota Yaris Forums

15-20 hp is a joke. Maybe in a car that has 400hp a different intake that lets the engine breathe easier, may give that amount of performance. In our case, the 108 ponies (which there are less of at the wheels} will probably gain around 3 more ponies from the intake.
I installed a Secret Weapon R intake about month ago and my MPG hasn't changed, but I drive more aggressive now. Gassing it on long stretches sometimes to hear that 1.5L beast roar. Probably if I wouldn't do that, my MPG would have increased by a 0.7-1.5 at most.
p.s. normally I get around 30mpg.
