yall might say this is ghetto however if you take your time like me and make it look professional it comes out great, i cut the front section of my airbox out to expose the full KN filter. actually a flat panel filter is superior to a conical filter due to surface area and flow rate. anyway i think its cool that even when my car was bone stock it sounded like a turbo spooling up between 1500-3500 but now its even louder, everybody that rides in my car is like hey whats that turbo sound i say dont know its my intake making a cool noise, anywho thought id share and ask if others have the same sound lata

 

that is pretty ghetto. lol Be careful though, i dont think thats very safe for the engine. Just save up some dough and go buy the real thing from RRM or Injen. Ultimate racing has a short ram intake as well.

 

doesn't sound that ghetto...a lot of 1G DSM's "hack"" the airbox to expose the air filter...this would serve the same purpose IMO...good job!

 

Hey....a quick question.......With the short-Ram intake will the same sound be produced or will it be louder? Or for that matter will a CAI be louder? I haven't played with my intake situation yet but just wondering what to expect

 

I would expect a CAI to be of about similar volume to a short-ram....they use the same filters. A short ram is less efficent though!

 

thanks evo i am impressed with the aggresive sound of my mod, its just as loud as any intake ive heard sounds like a big block honda to me just deeper and more aggresive

 

a big blcok honda...? is that a joke...you have one of the largest 4 cylinder blocks they make being a 2.4!

 

i know i was saying like if a honda was big is what mine sounds like, my old accord which was an 03 had a 2.4 and my mitsu sounds deeper actually

 

Someone said something to me that may ring true here.... just because you sound fast, doesn't mean that you can go fast. Having said that, I know what you mean by nice throttle sound. My only concern is that you are now sucking up alot of HOT air from the engine compartment, which will hurt your performance.

 

na im sure the gain do to increase in flow is superior then the heat difference, but sure would like to know why the hell they put a electronic throttle on the ralliart it sucks ***, throttle response is terrible in my car, has always been

 

Seems similar to a "Swiss Cheese Mod", where you take a big ol' drillbit, and put tons of holes in the bottom of your airbox. Ultra-cheap, and effective, but very ghetto... maybe if you concentrate the holes more towards the front and fender sides of the airbox, you'll get cooler air.
