1) it will provide the air but under heavy acceleration it won't keep up with you engines needs... It will give you nothing in higher rpms do to this. Down low it could do you some good but not very much since it will stop working for you at about 2500rpms.

2) Notice it says K&N LIKE filter... that means it is a knockoff and we all know knockoffs have issues.

3) Notice in all the pictures they are not of a lancer??

4) Notice in all the pictures there is no MAS sensor anywhere??

5) Is there a Warranty/Guarantee on these items? Can I return them? Due to the nature of these performance items and the chance of installer damage/negligence, all items are sold in the condition listed, AS-IS, and in the condition pictured. Seller not liable for misuse. May be legal for off-road use only, check applicable laws. Therefore, we cannot offer a warranty, guarantee, or allow any returns of any kind. We try to accurately picture and described my items to the best of our ability.

Be very careful with a product that can't be warrantied at all... even RRM/RIPP have warranties on certain components.

6) Pickup: NO PICKUP. No exceptions

This screams ripp off... they don't want you to know where they are at so you can demand a refund when it doesn't work!!

7) 48 states shipping will be $30.00 on this item (via Fedex ground).

The product probably weighs less than 10lbs... and comes in a catagory 1 box style. Should cost about 15 bucks be he wants 30?? Just getting the extra dollars everywhere isn't he!!??

8) Here is one negative review:

Might help gas mileage, not power. Pays for itself in 25 years. Not worth it.

This seems to be related to the product your asking about... don't really know as the vendor has made all the item numbers private. Basically you can't see what he's selling just the reviews for something you can't tell what it is!! The items you can see are Clothes hangers, a monitor, and other off the wall items not related to this product.

Check out his negative remarks... he's had 14 in the past year... good vendors usualy may average 2-3 a year if that. Good vendors don't block the item numbers either!

on this product... save your money and buy an intake or something. This thing has scam and lier written all over it!

Just pointing out things... now you'll know what to look for and how to scan thru the sellers post/info for fraud.

Trust me i've been burned before... knowing this info is valuable. Also if you pay for an item use a Visa card. If it's fraud and you can prove it you'll get your money back from them. Keep these things in mind and you should be a lot safer ebayer/buyer!
