The dpf is more than likely the culprit for poor MPG. Not to mention it weighs more than my entire 4" turbo back system.

Dont waste your money on a cold air intake. The LMM's intake is VERY good. As is the stock filter element. don't mess with it and it'll help your engine live long and run strong. The best way to pick up some mpg's is to get rid of the dpf. Its a huge restriction and hampers your mpg's. But you also have to think about how much you like your warranty, cuz you'll lose it if you do the dpf delete.
