Is it ok to do this for small amounts of time. When I go to a meet I take out the air filter and the car sounds a whole lot more ready for action, Its all stock under the hood right now though, but nobody believes me when they hear it. I don't keep it out all the time but is it very dangerous?
bad idea.
i don't even know why you'd even consider it. i mean you can get an aftermarket cone filter an adaptor on ebay for under 10 bucks. it might not be the greatest thing in the world but its far better than running no filter at all..
If you like sucking foreign objects into your engine, then sure, run without a filter. If you want your engine to last longer then the warranty, then run a filter :roll:
Yeah, like pinoy said, just go grab a cone filter and you'll get what you want :wink:
i got a cone filter and adapter, sounds nice. I heard the K&N works best so look for that
I see K&N, I'll check on it. Thankx you guys and I really should start thinking before doing this stupid stuff all the time.
Is this what you guys are talkin about?

no, not like that.
just go to pep boys and get a cone filter.
dotn get the k&n stock airbox filter for 2 reasons.
its expensive as fuck, and you will see no increase in sound....and hp wont be very noticable.
those are for people that dotn want to buy a new air filter every 10000 miles, so they do that to save money i think.
a cone filter with an adapter is definitly what u want.

Hey thanks https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif I'll go to a local store to see if they have one in stock if not I'll just order that one. That'll improve sound as well right? Are the cone filters with adapters universal?
the cone filters are universal. you just have to get the one that fits the adaptor.
the adaptors are not universal. differnt makes like toyota, mazda, nissan have different adaptors, they look the same but the bolt parttern is different.
within the mitsu product line, any of the adaptors that look similar to the one pictured in the auction would work. that means you can use adaptors from the eclipse, motero, montero sport, lancer, evo and etc. just make sure that the adaptor looks similar to the one picured.
I just came back from Advance Auto Parts and the guy was really helpful. I picked up a universal AR cone air filter but I forgot to ask about the mitsu adapter. I didn't buy it though. He told me that he recommends getting the whold intake system and a performance muffler. I'll call and ask if they have an eclipse or mits adapter. Would the dealership have an adapter?
why dont you just buy a short ram or cold air intake?
I guess its because I just don't know anything about performance upgrades https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif . Fine, Give me a brand name or whatever is best recommended and I'll go with that.
If you like sound, Weapon R is beautiful. At the top of the rpms it makes a wwhhhssss sound. But fitment can e an issue, but my fits nicely now with a smaller coupler. Though, alot of people here will disagree wih going with Weapon R.

either Injen or AEM...there have been some Injen intakes going lately at a really great price. i asked the guy on ebay that i bought mine from if he has any left...he had the best price i have seen anywhere. ill let you know once he gets back to me. Look to spend around 100-200 for an intake...but i guaranty you will get the sound your looking for. it will also add some more hp to your ride.
check out club3g and the eclipseforums. they have people selling intakes all the time. if u can't find one used, you can probably join in one of their group buys or something.
club3g does have alot of group buys and I'm waiting on some reply's. It might be better to just go with ebay in the end because I don't know who I can trust on these boards.
hey, i know installing an intake seems like it would be a hard thing to do becuause its phisicly replaceing a part of your engine. but its not as hard as you think. i was so scared the first time that i did this, that i would screw something up. it seriously is as easy as undoing all the old bolts from the old stock-box. and takeing it out. and bolting in the new one and its done. i can tell you one thing though. dont ever run your car(again) without a filter of some kind. all sorts of random shit will go flying into your engine. and you'll be looking at a mighty enxpensive problem to fix. when it comes to intakes you have 2 choices (cold air intake) or (short ram intake) the cold air intake has a pipe that goes way down to the bumper to get a little colder air. and the short ram is only about 2 ft long and stays in the engine bay. if you live in a place where it rains alot. or have ever ran your car through a puddle that hit the bottom of it. then dont get the full cold air intake. or it could suck up water and your engine will get vapor-lock. go for a good brand too so you dont have to worry about small problems. i'm running an Injen short ram. and i love it. also AEM, and K&N. probly heard all this before. and if you want to save money just get a cheep-o ebay one. its not gonna be too much of a difference. you just get what you payed for though. so..i say get yourself a short ram intake (your probly gonna have to get it online. it really isn't easy to get aftermarket parts for a galant localy) if you go good brand it will cost you a little less then $200. but its worth it. and install it yourself, hope this helps.
Hey! Thats like one of the most helpful post I've ever recieved... (it even seemed a little inspirating) But thankx for that info. You answered another question I had before I even asked it. (The difference between CAI and Short Ram) I'll be getting one soon now that all thats cleared up.
Injen, Weapon R, or AEM though? I've heard some good and some bad about Weapon R (actually the only good is what lootrock posted early on this topic) but what's the most popular?
Do after market intakes use the black box that near the end of the factory intake. The little computer thing that reads your air flow. Is that just pushed aside or takin out or something? Or does the aftermarket intake run through it as well?
I'm leaning torward the Weapon R.

you gotta use that black box, the MAS if you want your car running correctly. if you take it out or simply just unplug it, your car will go into limp mode and won't run right.
as for intakes, aem is pretty good haven't heard any complaints from them. injen is pretty good too. in the past (way back in the day) people had some fitment issues but those were fixed. weapon-r had more fitment issues than the injen. besides that normal battery rub that every1 got, there was also problems with the MAS adaptor fitment. some people had to modify that for things to work right. i don't know if those were fixed since then but last time i checked, they haven't. know knows.
but yea, the reason weapon-r and injen had those problems with the battery rubbing is because those were one of the first intakes made for our cars. on paper things can look all good and well but you got to test things in reality and through time to see if things really work. injen figured out the problem and has redesigned their intake saveral times to correct different issues that they have had. their customer service is excellent too.
injen and aem are also C.A.R.B. approved. that might not mean anything to you where you live but it shows how much aem and injen stand behind their intakes for our cars and do their best to please us and our needs.
I having no problem with battery rubbing at all. And as far as needing your MAS, well once it disconnects while you are driving, your car will just completely turning. Oh man, did I find that out the hard way. Actually the same day I put on the intake, but the coupler needed to hook up to the MAS, I needed too hook up to the throttle body instead thanks to weapon R :wink: but like I said before, that is no problem.

the i4 adaptor fits the v6, i4, montero, lancer. they all use the same bolt pattern on adaptor
Well thanks guys but I'll think I'll just go with the adaptor and cone filter for now. It should at least give me more of the sound I'm looking for and I'll be able to save my money until I want to really spend some big cash. That'll be first performance mod so far. Then I'll do some lowering or whatever? I don't want a body kit right now because the roads around here would eat up the hell out of it any ways. Not to mention getting it painted and all that. I found a nice price on Some under glow lights $80.00 around the cornere at Advance Auto Parts and I'll be getting them too. Thankx for your help and I'll post pictures and results after a while :darthgrin:
hey i finally got word back from the guy...he only has one NIB Injen short ram in red left. think he was selling them for about 90 bucks.
When you say in red, are you talking about the filter. I mean I can replace whatever's red with blue right?
nah, the piping will be all red.
