dude I telll you the truth it seems to me you just want looks and sound? I mean look at it like this that 350 can go to your new car don't waste it on you lancer if you don't want ot to go fast. Like for me I would like a fast car and I bought my lancer kinda in mistake I really wanted a mustang but after finding this site I realized what potential my car actaully has!!! Ok so bottom line should be but who am I to say, if your getting a new car don't spend the money, if you are going to keep the lancer then save up and buy a turbo kit whole or piece by piece like what I'm doing.
Our cars have what it takes it just depends how you mod the car.

I would much rather "go home" I will keep this lancer but keep on saving for one of my five choices of either a GTI mk6,Speed3,Genesis Coupe, Ralliart, or WRX. All great cars but along the way of a little bit of money shows up I'll mostly likely just add an intake.
But as for getting a better head would it improve things? What kind of head could I put on my block?

Sure it would improve things but you'd be spending a relatively large amount of money to marginally increase the effectiveness of the few NA bolt-ons available for the Lancer. RRM has a ported and polished head for sale, it's 2000$ last I checked. Alternatively you can do it yourself but there's no guarantee you'll port it right and actually gain power. You could convert to a DOHC MIVEC head but it's not cheap. As I said, if you want an intake and exhaust to make the car sound more aggressive, go for it, but the power gains will be negligible, you'll see a greater difference in performance by driving when it's cold out.

so ClixT, if I pretty much buy an ebay intake for around $30-ish dollars it will pretty much be the same as a regular brand intake? I have $8 to waste in ebay bucks so I might as well by something.

So one last time because I will most likely buy a $30-$40 intake and later on buy a brand name filter. Do I need the AF filter? Some intakes come with it others do not.
Like I am looking at this intake
I would just buy it and place a let's say K&N filter atop in place of the one it came in?
I am jsut scared at how the metal piping looks very weak structurally.
