I have a 2011 Lancer ES, with JDM spec camshaft, dual coil valve springs w/ lifters, and i am looking at getting an air intake system. I cant seem to find an intake that will fit the 2011 lancer ES w/ manual transmission. I may just be blind, or cant use google correctly, but im looking for a sri, not cold air, because im in the navy and will be in new york soon, and dont wanna deal with the moisture problems that the cai positioning seems to cause. If anyone could post links of intakes that would fit my car, it would be highly appreciated.

 

What if you were to reposition the cai?

 

that kinda defeats the purpose of a CAI, to draw in cooler air from the bottom of the engine compartment through the front grill slots. if you reposition it to where there is ZERO chance of drawing in water, your high in the engine compartment and that's warmer air. and i really dont wanna take the risk of hydrolock, just looking for links for short ram intakes that would fit the car.

 

lol ya if you buy a cai and reposition it away from the ground and closer to the engine, then its not a cold air intake anymore. its an awkwardly placed why the hell did i buy a cold air just to position it next to the engine anyway...intake

 

A short ram is usually better than a cold air intake for most purposes.
The ground is usually at a temperature near or higher than an engine bay with the sun shining.
There is more debris near the ground than your engine bay, dirt blowing, rocks, etc...
Don't risk hydrolocking in New York.
Also, there is Injen, RRM, and Tanabe that I think make a short ram application, one of them come with a heat shield I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

plus a few feet closer to the ground doesnt make much of a temp difference

Roadrace motorsports makes a SRI for that year of the ES, thanks for posting, i think i found a winner.

 

It all depends on what set up he wants to go with.
*if you get the hydro shield, you should be good to go. Even with the rain, there's no way for the water to reach all the way up to the motor, UNLESS the filter is submerged.
Mid range power = cai
Get up and go = sri
