$340 eh? If you want to spend that much on an Intake, check Weapon R. http://*******************/airbox.html

"- New! 2002 - UP Mitsubishi Lancer: Airbox Only : $175 / Airbox & Intake : $340"

340!!!!!!! Thats crazy. For that much you could do a custom exhaust an a custom intake. Or like a TB an Intake. Or a Strut BAr an Intake. To make my point more clear, you can basically get an intake an something else for that money.

Time for some crowd control before a lynching occurs...

I think he was saying that 340 was his limit, not I'm willing to spend 340 on ANYTHING.

Serious, though, about a home depot special, things are sometimes engineered for a reason.

The only problem is there are no web sites (that I have found) which posts the intakes actual preformance marks. Can anyone help me in choosing an intake. My price range is up to $340.

Thanks
I think AEM dyno'd a Lancer w/ their Intake. Here's the link.

Over this we go again... those stats are there, but, CAUTION. I'm wary of any company putting out test results on their own products. You really can't rely on those numbers.

I know you're just giving him the info, pi, but, gotta throw that disclaimer out there.

AEM's DYNO TESTING PROCEDURES

AEM performs its dynamometer testing in a consistent fashion in an effort to deliver the most accurate results. Our dyno testing procedures are carried out with the hood up, with a fan placed in front of the radiator and another fan at the rear of the vehicle to force exhaust gases from the testing area. We perform the testing in this fashion because it most accurately reflects actual driving conditions, (e.g. the open hood allows air to flow through the engine compartment as it would if the vehicle were moving, and the fan in front of the radiator mimics the flow of air that would pass through it if the car were not stationary on a dyno). Think of it this way, an RSX Type-S revs to 8,000 rpm, so a third gear dyno pull to redline is equivalent to a run of approximately 90 mph. Without an open hood or fan to replicate what the car would experience if it were on the street and not on a dyno, the testing would not be an accurate representation of either the car's performance, or the functioning of any performance parts.

Furthermore, all numbers are corrected to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standards for altitude, ambient air temperature and humidity per the program supplied with the Dynojet Dyno that we use (in this case it was a Model 248C Dynojet Chassis Dynamometer). We do this because, according to SAE, horsepower should be measured under a consistent set of conditions. Since the real world is not a consistent place, a formula is used to modify the measured results obtained during testing back to the SAE accepted standard of testing conditions.

When we perform dyno testing, we take multiple runs and then average the three that are most consistent. Any runs that are abnormally high or low are eliminated so that the results we gain are as accurate as possible. We will NEVER show you only the best results; you will always see an average of the three most consistent dyno pulls.

If you're going to turbocharge your engine, you're not going to be using any of the standard bolt on intakes.

here to hope on your car...

i don't think your gonna find too many dyno charts so imo if you have a stick you should get the injen cold air if you don't want to spend that much the rmr or rrm intake is the way to go

www.injen.com --- injen
www.rmrproducts.com --- rmr

Just a note. Filter is only one part of the intake. It allows more air in but a good MAS adapter that funnels the air down to the MAS is very important. Have you heard the term "velocity stack" That is the affect that you want to speed up air as it enter the intake side of the motor . It also make for denser air. Race cars all incorporate this anyway possible into the intake. Some of the intakes out ther just mount a filter on a MAS. Helpful hint for when you go shopping.
