Intake System Question

RE: Intake System Question
Cold air intakes are much better. A short ram keeps the filter in the engine bay usually in place of where the airbox was. A full length cold air usually takes the filter and puts it somewhere in the fenderwell or something like that where it's going to get nice dense cold air from outside which is better. The colder the air the denser it is so that's more air and fuel getting into the cylinders.

cool air provides better hp. It allows more dense air to be filterd to your gas, therefore producing better gas milage and burning at a hotter temp. To install a cool air you need to back it up past your rubber hose and its recommended to install a resistor on you air mass electric connecter, sould come with any cool air for lancer. Im installing one on my ralli art 05 and it fits perfect.

Maybe its just me, but I have tried short rams in 3 diff. eclipses and they DONT WORK, only under the fender REAL cold air will really help. Under the fender air is about 140 degrees inside the engine is about 225 esp. since the short ram usually ends up right where the fans are and those extremely hot headers.
