So I was doing a little browsing on good old Ebay, and I came across this OBX carbon fiber intake, that says it fits the Lancer. Because I'm not to ashamed to admit it, I bid on it. Before you laugh or jump down my throat, consider this:

1. A "name brand" filter, breather and MAS adapter alone for 25 bucks isn't bad.
2. If it doesn't fit exactly, all I'll need is maybe a rubber adaptor here and an elbow there.
3. If it REALLY doesn't fit, my girlfriend drives a 97 Mirage.

So here it is. I'm almost certain it will require some thinking to install, but worst case senario, they accept returns if it doesn't fit.



On another note, many of you have heard about AEM's "new" V2 intakes right? Well OBX has been making them for quite some time now. Not really that inventive if someone else invented it.

 

my eclipse was an obx exhaust on it. it's pretty sweet. I hadn't noticed that obx made an intake for the lancer or i might have gotten it instead of the roadrace one.

 

By the way, where would I be able to pick up some metal piping, metal elbows and rubber connectors if I need them?

 

Supposedly OBX makes damn near everything for the Lancer, including a CAI for only like 170. Problem is finding the parts. I've looked everywhere online, and have only found a couple sites that sell their stuff, and they don't look very reliable, if you know what I mean. As far as OBX products go, I've only heard good things really.

 

from what I heard I believe there is a model of eclipse that ya can use elbows and such for a lancer intake... will run a search for that in a bit... been several months since I have seen that thread and I might be thinking of something different.

 

only the mas plate fits no elbow 95-99 eclipse turbo is the style of bracket

 

I already found a place online that sells them, I was just wondering if I could pic them up at Pep Boys or Home Depot or something like that. When buying cheap parts online the shipping doubles the price, so its cheaper to buy local.

 

I really don't have a pep boys within an hour and a half drive... but I know home depot doesn't have anything.

 

obx make one of the best catback systems out there.
and they make one for the lancer, or acutally different types/styles.

WHICH ONE OF YOU LITTLE SNOTS OUTBID ME AT THE LAST MINUTE???

Its cool, there are plenty others to bid on.

To repeat myself: Does anyone know where to buy metal piping and elbows for custom intakes and rubber connectors?

 

You can get metal piping for ventilation. Really easy to fit, it's elbows you can get in any direction (like 4 parts together than can make everything from 0 degrees to 90 degrees).. they come in 3" or 4" and once painted, looks not too cheap

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm really looking for real metal piping, just like they use to make these intakes. Maybe I just can't buy pieces locally?

 

not realy, manderal bends are not cheap or comonly available

 

Coda if you win one, let us know...if it's good stuff, I'd be plenty happy to pick one up.

 

I was on Ebay today and have been searching for these intakes people find but with no luck. Can someone provide me a search key word or link?

thanks
