No.

 

Yes, I noticed a good difference in power. It was definitely worth it.

No, that was a mistake. Fixing it now.

 

Thanks for the directions, I installed mine today and it really took no time at all (10 minutes or so)

I hear the intake which sounds cool but at a certain RPM, around 2500 it makes a kind of weird sound before sounding good again. Is that normal or do I have a leak maybe? Also, the part where the filter fits on is quite long is the filter supposed to be towards the end of it or as far down on it as possible?

 

It's normal...the intake sounds a little anemic around that 2500 RPM mark.

The filter should go down as far as you can get it.

 

I never got to thank the reply. At first the intake sound was a little weird but I think once I got used to it, I really like it. I don't know it seems like my car has "gotten used to it" as well. It's quite different now then it was when I first installed it.

 

Yeah, modern cars do have a "learning period." Good to hear you're liking it.

 

do we have to get the SRI from RRM to install the

or can we just get the intake and install it?

 

I'm a little confused by your question, so I'll give two answers.

If you want to just buy this and nothing else, no, that won't work. There'd be nothing to attach it to.

If you're asking if you have to buy this and this, then no, you don't need to. You only really need to buy the "Replacement filter" item once your original one has gotten dirty or damaged.

 

lancers are so weird..if i understand correctly

a SRI gives just as much a gain as the injen CAI correct?

 

Yes, that's about right.

 

anyone else get a CEL after installing the SRI? i had a diagnostic run on it and it says im running lean on bank one, and its most likely my MAF sensor.

 

Double check that the MAF is plugged in securely and bolted down tightly? 90% of the time, it's install error.

You have a Fed-spec, so I can't figure why it'd be so sensitive to the intake...

 

thanks. i checked it out this morning again, and everything was in right, then i reset the ECU and it was fine. *slaps self on forehead* thanks though!

 

Give it time, it can come back after driving a bit. Or maybe something was a hair loose and the problem's fixed. It's hard to say.

 

anyone try the new RRM Short Ram intake? the polished aluminum one? wanna know if theirs any differance between the two besides it's prettier looks.
