its not worth a letter home to mom power wise. but really you may feel a bit off the line more, and hear the sc a lot more. on paper the open cone should net a mile or 2 tops if you drive like a old lady, once the sc can be heard you will be in the gas more, and lose mpg over all, self control is your friend on this one.
 


i used a spectra filter, like this, i also used a 90 deg elbow because i could not find a 45 at the home depot.

or if you get a 45 and a longer filter you could do it like this.

both cars in the pic are 97 - 03. both of those the maf is in the throttle body, if you have a 04 + the maf is in a tube before the TB, so you have to leave it in line where it is. search 04 cold air intake, theres a good write up on it. its no harder to do than what is pictured.
 


i get like 18-20mgp city on winter blend gas, i was getting 24mpg in the summer, 99 GTP in despite need for a tune up
 
I drive about 75% highway and average 80mph and still get 27-28 mpg's! I drove all highway for a 65 miles trip and got 33.3 in February!

What sensor?

Sounds like either you got a heavy foot, or you make really really short trips like I do.

i do have a heavy foot but im not flooring it all the time, but another reason is i do stop and go ALOT cause theres tons of stop signs and **** around here, and i dont travel long distances either
 
18.7 in the gtp and 19.1 in the gxp per the DIC... Mix of hwy and city driving... Drove the gtp to Baltimore from Detroit for a ravens/steelers game last year and I got 30.2 on winter bs premium gas...

replace rear o2 sensor? (that's what i herd before don't know if its true)
i have a brand new one i got for free so might as well try and see
i only get like 17.4 city mpg with a light foot
i do need a tune up pretty bad though
