    I researched and realized it doesn't help. I've already been running it for about 3 years but do you think it is hurting my engine or my mileage? Should I take it off or is there no harm? I get horrible gas mileage and trying to do anything to help.

    It shouldn't hurt anything, but its pretty easy to take off to see if you gas mileage will improve

    I misplaced the shorter screws for just the intake so I would have to order those but I don't want to if it won't make a difference in mileage.
    I also have a new MAF sensor by jet chip which actually increased my mileage but I'm still getting poor mileage.

    I honestly did feel a difference but don't recommend it. After doing research, I heard it can hurt your truck more than help, also it went out on me in a couple months. Stay stock.
