Can you install these to any lancer (auto or manual)? Anyone have one, that could share what they do or sound like? And exactly what is that that it goes on top of? Like what is there as stock? and you can remove it w/o hurting anything? Here's a pic of what i'm talking bout.

 

yea you can do it to either one. it sounds like nothing, stock there is a hose that goes back to your intake, you can remove it, but oil might spit out.

 

Don't buy it. It's crap. Makes your engine bay dirty. Decreases vacume pressure. Bla bla...
It's not worth a penny.

 

^^^^agreed^^^^^

 

yes it is very useless

 

okay.. i'm not 100% sure about what i'm goin gto say so don't quote me on this.. but i'm pretty sure it's very highly recommended you buy a breather if you have a cai becuase it lets the engine breathe if the filter of your cai is submerged into water.. meaning no hydrolocked engine. so yes, get the breather if you have a cai but no if you don't. it's pretty pointless if you buy one with a short ram intake because it would not be of any use...

oh, and btw, it does have a sound.. a high pitch sucking sound.

 

i say dont waste your money on it, just to make your engine bay derty

 

thanks guys - guess i won't fool w/ it>!

 

i always wondered if it even worked now i know it doesnt thx for the info nicktutt

 

I talked about this with Boe (one of the leading authorities on the Lancer) a while back and he told me that it doesn't give you any power, but if you have turbo it helps keep oil from getting sucked into the intake from boost. Other than that, it's useless.

 

lol, oops! yeah, i ws talking about the bypass valve!! hahaha

 

yeah, its worthless, my buddy had one on his 2000 cavalier and he had to steam clean his engine bay every week cause it was such a mess.

 

Someone buy my catchcan/breather!

 

I have one.



I can't hear it over filter+muffler sound so I can't say how it sounds like. But probably something that can be barely heard..

 

it does serve a purpose granted i'm taking evo here, but wdcross hit it right on the head aside from the sound part. If you look at buschur racing, they recommend you get one when you purchase an intake too. It's not just pointless
