I think its time to replace my air filter and was wondering if I should get just a regular drop in or a intake. I don't think there is much of a power difference but I think the only thing is the difference in sound. I was thinking about just a K&N drop in but a guy at Kragen told me to buy an intake off of ebay. Just wondering what you guys think.

Thanks

 

i just got my SRI off ebay (I have an auto)...There's a definate increase in power, although it's not much..Sound is worth it in gold...

 

i got my intake from rrm the sri and its freakin sweet

 

rrm baby

 

I think Ive read a dyno somewhere showing that the drop-in does absolutely nothing for power. Yet with an SRI you'll at least get an extra 2-3 ponies .

 

yeah, on K&N's website it shows like a 2-4 mph gain. I dont know if these figures are correct but thats what it shows me.

 

I love my AEM CAI even though it cost a lot

 

you mean 2 - 4 hp gain

 

remember you have a 2litre ES not an EVO engine.

 

I would go with an intake, unless you have some desire to race the stock class in autocross or something. You will like the slight addition in power and the cool sound

 

geezus all of u...'sound' '2-3 hp' lol, anyways....honestly i got my intake off ebay....and i get an extra 40-50 miles per tank...which is golden right now

 

I just ordered the rrm sri, says it usually takes 7-10 days. Just got my lancer es 2 days ago and this is my first mod. It looked sweet on the site.

 

don't know about everone else I'm geting my modds from ebay
some are not name brand but it works the same

 

Get the ebay intake, its by BOMZ racing, cost is around 80-100 if you buy in retail. Works great, just no install directions (isn't hard tho, use K&N's install instructions from their website). The rrm is a rip off, just a MAS adapter and a filter with a pathetic carbon fiber shield, costs them like 8 bucks and they charge 150. IF you're going to spend that kind of money get the RMR with a true heat shield and extra large filter. Just my .02. Cheers!

 

Don't get the intake from ebay because my friend ordered one for his cavilier and the sucker didn't fit.....the O2 sensor didn't fit right....so he got a Injen SRI.......If i were you I would save some money and get the AEM or Injen CAI....its the best bang for the buck....good luck...
