A header will do plenty, it's really 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of another.

I'd buy a A2 designs pulley cause it comes with a belt. I'd hold back on the CAI and just get a adapter on Ebay, cause it works just as well, and fab a SRI. I'd not buy the RRM header, but rather buy OBX or Kamakazi or anyother brand. The gains are ok on the RRM, I have them, but not worth the price.

Header on sale this month and so is the CAI. The CAI is normally RED and extra for ceramic coated, but now its ceramic coated at the same price of the red.

even if you have manual, still doesn't make much of a difference. Its over $100 cheaper to just go custom SRI, personally i wouldn't spend the money on a CAI for a very minor gain...if any.

but its your money. lol

but the power difference between SRI and CAI is very very small. if at all. Im just suggesting you save your money. SRI just as good but cheaper, plus gives you better throttle response.

Tuning when you only have an intake is a real waste of time and money.

You should buy everything and fall into the money pit that Lancers are.
