How restrictive is the air intake system or the air filter. could a simple drop in on the SS sneak out a couple more MPG?

With the importance of CAFE ratings and things like gas guzzler taxes at stake, and more importantly horsepower at stake, I doubt that GM's engineers would be so incompetent.

Anyway, if it can make 426hp when running WOT at redline, it can certainly flow entirely unimpeded when you're cruising along at 1500rpm with the throttle mostly closed.

Wow that's great! I can't say that my '04 A4 Convertible 1.8T gets much more to the gallon.

The SS sits a half inch lower I thought???
