Air Intakes vs Exhaust Mods: Which Upgrade Improves Diesel MPG More?
Why Airflow Matters for Diesel MPG
Diesel engines rely on balanced air-to-fuel ratios for efficient combustion. Better airflow means better burn, lower EGTs, and improved MPG.
Air Intake Systems: Breathe In Power
Factory air intakes can restrict airflow. Upgrading provides cooler, denser air into the engine, supporting cleaner combustion and better mileage.
✅ Benefits of Intake Upgrades:
-
More air flow
