Default Intake and Axle/Full Catback Exhaust

Anyone know the official release dates of intakes/exhausts?

I see some people with a SRI(takeda intake). Will they ever make a CAI for our cars?

Will SRI or CAI improve gas mileage? If so, why, and how?

How about Exhausts? Will these improve gas mileage?

I'm aware of power gains, just unaware of MPG it will effect, someone shed someone please shed some light

My MPGs haven't improved (worsened actually) but that's my fault because I'm enjoying the extra pep and sound thanks to a heavier foot. I have the Takeda intake and Magnaflow axel-back. However, I will say this that so far with this latest tank of gas, 160 km/100 miles on it and a "normal foot", my MPGs are in the high 9L/100km (low 24 mpgs) which is best so far I've had on the same ~ 75% city/25% hwy breakdown.

just installed my takada intake on tuesday. Since topping off wednesday i'm currently sitting at 20 mpgs having driven this tank in S+ mode so far, and have been heavy on the pedal several times (see video for few examples). I usually get 16-18mpgs in S+ on a tank like this.

when majority of people install exhaust, MPG usually goes down due to enjoyment

on the 4th tank since i installed my takada and to be completely honest it seems my MPGs went down in ECO mode. I've tried twice to run on ECO mode and was barely got up to 19.5 gallons. However in sport + I could never get above 18 MPGs, and now with the intake I can get up to 21 MPGS in sport +.
