Well i bought my car about 6k ago and it has a full aem intake, kamikaze header and some sorta rid on the o2's? i donno about the o2 thing i am gonna post some pics sometime ans see what is goin on there, anyway are these mods any good? and another cool think is i have the stock intake, a set of altezzes that were in it but i returned them to stock, and it has been a great car so far, so any help would be great, thanks.

Why would someone take an engine designed for lean burning and replace the intake, air, etc.

not really. it uses your gas more efficiently by mixing better air w/ ur gas. if you don't drive hard, it'll boost up your gas mileage a bit.

in my brother's 04 Si w/ cold air intake, he drove really conservative and didn't go past 3k RPM when shifting and he got 34mpg on that whole tank. but then after he filled it up again, he punched it everywhere he went ... almost red-lining(6-7k RPM) it EVERYWHERE. he told me he got 21 mpg on that tank lol
