Default 07 Cold air intake

I found two different kinds of cold air intakes for the 07 outlander. Has anyone heard of these products or any others? I would like to increase my performance and this is the closest thing I have found so far. Any other suggestions? I'min the U.S. too.

Thanks,

Ryan

I'm not sure about mitsubishi, but when I had a scion, the dealer said the only way an intake could void the warranty is if a problem arises due to the installation of the part. So, no damage, no problem!

Oh one more thing. I seems that the current system breaths pretty well. In my experience, strapping on a cold air intake does not solve performance issues, its only the starting point. It all comes down to balance, (exhaust and headers and so on). All im going to do is wait for a k&n replacment filter......that should do it!.....Just my opinion!

I love the idea of increasing performance and all, but I dont think adding a cold air intake is gona do much(with out headers exhaust) to go with it. Even then, this is a sports utillity vehicle, putting a cold air now limits your utillity to not being able to go through puddles depper than 8", lol. I had a Injen in my Ralliart and besides the cool sound I could not tell any difference, all it did for me was give me a nice littlle scare one rainy day when my engine light came on and I thought I was gona hydrolock the car (thankfully it din't hydro) but there was plenty of water being suckd in wich made the MAF sensor wet and triggered the CEL. I would much rather have a short ram intake with a heat shield that uses all that space in the fender area, or better yet, a turbo or supercharger.

My 07 US Outlander has what is basically a cold air intake already installed from the factory. The factory snorkel intake pulls cold air from in front of the radiator, not from the engine compartment like most cars.

The only bolt on mod this car would benefit from is probably a full exhaust system. Have you guys looked down there and seen all those restrictinos? specially at the downpipe. If theres a ever a good exhaust that makes my outti breath better and still keeps the noise tammed, I'm buying it! In most cars you will get 10hp tops out of an exhaust mod, in the outtie I see it freeing up at least 10-15.

Thanks for the input. I actually had a magna flow catback exhaust system put on my outlander so far. Check this the new posts or this link. I hope K&N comes out with an air filter for the outtie soon, that would probably help.
