i noticed that my car sounded pretty nice when i took of the lile tube thing that redirects air strait to my air filter. im just wondering if this is bad if i leave it that way for now. i drove with out that thing for about 2 miles and it sounded pretty good actually. it was like i had an intake or some sort. i was just wondering if this is bad for the engine if i left it as it is now.

 

Pretty much what you've done is created a true WAI (Warm Air Intake). You'll most likely notice a small loss in power but a small jump in fuel economy.

 

we all do it, take off this hear and there to hear it better...than put it back though

 

WARM AIR INTAKE (good one) well i decided to put it back, i looked in there for a lil bit and decided to just wait on the real intake from road///race. oh and i was surfing around ebay and someone there is selling an intake for the 08's. i dont know if its anygood though, ill post a link if i only knew how to. just type "08 lancer" and itll pop up eventually. can someone get into this please

 

there is a post about this already in the engine tech section
