The intake will make your engine a bit louder but only when it is over a certain rpm, so basically if u accelerate hard or punch it. Exhaust tips are just for looks and do nothing for sound or performance. If you want it louder look for an axle back exhaust like the RRM magnaflow, Works Exhale or Tsudo. There are others plus cat-backs, header-backs but they are way more $$. The Tsudo will be about $300cdn but the other 2 are a bit nicer and would cost about $300us or more plus shipping. Check out youtube, they have tons of clips of the diff exhausts and pick the one u like.

You can install the intake yourself. They come with instructions and take about 45 mins or more depending on your skill set. With an intake they claim 5-7 hp gains. With my K&N sri, I don't think I could feel extra hp, but I could feel the better response by the cvt. The only way u will feel huge gains is with a turbo. The bolt-ons like intake, exhaust, header, etc will all only add slight gains like 5-7 hp each.

 

just keep an eye out on buy/sell forum u might find a used ones for cheap.

check out these forums as well they are based in canada so shipping wont be much if u ever buy something:

I asked what the retail is for a AEM and INJEN now that the prices are higher because of Exchange rate at JRP
Average retail pricing is in and around 450 to 500 dollars. In canada. thats about the same or inline with ordering it from the USA and getting raped by UPS

When we start having our spring bling meets, we will see if we can work out some good pricing on this and other stuff that JRP sells for our lancers and EVOs.

 

thanks for all the info...those other forums are based out of ontario?

 

tommy boy i have ur answer =)

wat u do is....

on the bottom of ur air box are two clips all u have to do is loosen them and
just clip on the top...so theres airr fromm thee bottom...last summer i was messing around with the air box and i accidentally missed the clips and it sounded like i had an SRI =)
but yea....
$0 for a ghetto mod

 

Budget mod

 

doing that can definently void my warranty... but cool to know about that

 

get those N1 mufflers from ebay...they're big and they are noisy. When I got my car, the PO put a N1 on my RA ... I put back the stock muffler ASAP, I don't like the RA when it's noisy. I prefer a high pitch sound from the engine when it revs

 

thats not gonna void ur warranty...lol its a 2second job..if ur going to the spring meet i'll show u

 

If you interested in a intake I would go with a reputable company if warranty is 1 of your issues. A reputable company will back there produst and as well will be made for your vehicle. If cheap is your route and want and intake you can make 1 out of PVC and replace it with stock for warranty issues , not a good choice in my opinion. You will have to spend a bit of money if you want exhaust noise and hp gains and want to make it warranty safe.

 

wanna make some good clean non ricey noise,go to a exhaust shop,pick a muffler,and get em to put it on for you,i got a custom ab exhaust done with a magnaflow race series muffler for 330,

 

Been there, done that, got rid of the Bit@h

 

I wish I had a man that wanted to spend money on me.... I need car stuff....
