Your LS is nasty that's for sure. Look at that dirt in the engine bay.
I know the car was owned by an old lady before me and she of coarse never cleaned it I just haven't had the time to clean it yet but that's one of my projects for the near future maybe even this week

OH WHAT A MIN... is this the GF talking??? I forgot this is a couple thing... you guys should add a signature to the bottom when posting...
Relocating the entire intake / filter that low...dumb (but if you dont get any rain..i'll buy it)
getting 40mpg under normal driving... not possible
i can get a pic of 60+mpg with reseting while coasting at high speeds... if your going to state you get 40+ mpg, you better be able to back it up...

If that's Ft Mohave, CA there is NO way that will pass smog! I had to reinstall the factory air box as the law changed and NO modification to the intake is allowed without a CARB sticker. I'm having a hard time getting K&N to get the T-Bird intake CARB certified for the LS.
Unless you had the cruise set at ~50mph on a decline I highly doubt 40mpg. ESPECIALLY with this crap the people's Republik calls gasoline!

Shoot..... I can get 99mpg anytime I want!

Those don't restrict airflow, they actually help performance. They help with air pulses coming back out of the intake cause by closed valves...
There is much more to it, I went I've this on my site. Www.amerituner.com it may be a couple pages back now
Ill give you performance increase but not to the extent of the OPs "40 MPG". I'd say maybe 27 instead of 26.6 MPG.
Anyone have a reasonable figure for an 02 with exhaust, cai and a tune? The best I've ever gotten is 26 and maybe some change but that was milking it and practically drifting a semi. You guys with 30 highway is pretty impressive
Actually that elbow can be removed and I put the filter on the tube in the engine bay by the maf and don't have to worry about hydrolockung the engine
Working on a video for proof then all you non believers will see
Ft Mohave [U]AZ[/U] no smog here
"Haters gonna hate"
They're all just mad because they can't get awesome gas mileage like my car

I track mine regularly, 02 V8, best I remember is 27 MPG with tune, CAI, exhaust. That is at 70-75 mph driving and on flat land.. I get a combined average of usually 18-19 MPG, I do live in New York though so my city driving and even highway may be different than other areas
BTW every winter when they switch to oxygenated crap I loose 2 MPG across the board
