Air filters

Hi...
Would i gain any performance if i put the k&n universal filter instead of the air box and leave the snorkel to keep the cold air flowing? Cause it's expensive for me to give 200-350 $ for a SRI or CAI.
And where can i find Works air filter tech specs or RRM SRI (air flow etc..) if something like this exists cause i'm new to air filters and that stuff.

Cheers

problems with sr air intake

i have a 2009 lancer es sport and i wanted to upgrade the air intake i shoppped around and i bought a fujita sr intake and got it installed after driving like 3 hundred miles the engine service soon light turned on and i read the code and it was p0171 (running lean) i dindt know what to do so i took it all off and put back my original air intake and the light didnt turn on anymore this first attempt was done by me :-P.
i waited a couples of wks and took it to a shop so i could get it installed right since i thouhgt i didnt do it right so they installed it and again after like 250 miles the light came back up :-( and i went there and they read the code and it was the same p0171 anyways at the shop they didint knmow what to do so i decided to put back the original one and the light hasnt turned on again
can someone help me finding out why this is happening? do i have to tune the fuel pressure and amount from the engine computer?
thanks a lot

yeah sorry to say but your out the $ you spent on the intake and the $ you spent to install it. Get rid of it, sell it for scraps, try to get a refund for it or whatever you want, and simply get an INJEN CAI or a K&N SRI.

steer clear of fujita intake for our car

Are the air filters the same in the evo x, because the Perrin filter looks good.

It would fit, but I wouldn't trust that material to reliably hold any particulate.
