Go with whatever is cheapest really, unless you have a favorite company.

I would choose AEM though.

Go with the least expensive. Local shop will probably overcharge you, best bet is to find it inexpensively online.

I didn't even know that K&N made an intake for our cars. I thought the only SRI options were RRM and AEM.

EDIT: K&N does NOT make an intake for our cars.

Only for 2.0L Lancers. Assume nothing engine-wise works for the Ralliart unless it specifically says it does. Even then, you sometimes have to be skeptical. :P

I would just say go with RRM. Their product is well built, and they're strong in the customer service side of things. Plus, they've put the most effort out so far to bring Ralliart parts to the market, so it's good to support them.

Yea, forget the SRI and go for the RRM CAI (unless you live in high rain areas), in that case go for the 2 piece Injen CAI and change it to an SRI during the winter.

BLK, i think the SRI doesn't perform as well on a automatic, because on the manual RA (my car) i noticed a bit more of a pull, nothing person that doesn't know the car would recognize but i notice everything on my car and drive it a lot. I found that it worked pretty well, but it definitely won't perform as well if you got the Cai or something...

Unless your driving in flood waters, aka LA, you will be fine with the CAI. Slight water splash and rain wont do damage to the CAI and engine. Youll feel the pull a lot more in the CAI than the SRI. Buy the RRM CAI.

I had an INJEN, it sucked hard. RRM one dynoed better than the rest. There is thread somewhere on here about it.
