Cold Air Intake for Mitsubishi Lancer (2008-2014) 2.0L 2.4L Engine - Black

Maximize the potential of your Lancer's 2.0L or 2.4L four-cylinder with a performance intake engineered to deliver up to 10% more power, sharper throttle response, and an aggressive sporty tone. T304 aluminum construction with a washable filter that lasts 50,000 miles.

Extract Every Bit of Performance from Your Daily Driver

The 2008-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer brought sharp styling and reliable four-cylinder power to the compact sedan segment, offering a solid foundation for enthusiasts looking for an affordable and practical performance platform. Whether you're running the 2.0L engine (152 HP, 146 lb-ft) or the 2.4L variant (168 HP, 167 lb-ft), both engines share a common limitation—the factory intake system was designed to meet strict noise regulations and production cost targets, not to deliver maximum performance or driving excitement.

This performance air intake removes those restrictions entirely. Built around lightweight T304 aluminum piping with precision mandrel bends, it replaces your restrictive factory airbox and intake tubing to provide an unrestricted airflow path directly to your engine. The result is dyno-proven gains of up to 10% in both horsepower and torque, along with noticeably improved throttle response and a deeper, more aggressive intake note that transforms the character of your Lancer. Whether you're merging onto the highway or navigating twisty backroads, you'll feel the difference immediately.

Key Features at a Glance

• T304 Aluminum Construction: Aircraft-grade aluminum piping delivers exceptional strength and corrosion resistance while reducing weight compared to the bulky factory plastic airbox assembly.
• Proven Power Gains: Extensive testing confirms up to 10% increases in horsepower and torque across both 2.0L and 2.4L engine variants, with improvements throughout the entire RPM range.
• High-Flow Washable Filter: Advanced multi-layer filtration captures contaminants while flowing significantly more air than factory paper elements—requires cleaning only every 50,000 miles under normal driving.
• Aggressive Intake Sound: Open-element design amplifies the natural tone of your four-cylinder engine, delivering a deeper, sportier sound during acceleration without excessive drone.

How It's Used: Installation & Fitment

This is a complete bolt-on system designed for straightforward installation in under an hour using basic hand tools. The kit fits both manual transmission and CVT-equipped Lancers with 2.0L or 2.4L engines, utilizing factory mounting points for a secure, vibration-free fit. Simply remove your factory airbox using screwdrivers and socket wrenches, install the new aluminum intake tube and high-flow filter with the included hardware, and you're ready to drive. After installation, disconnect your battery terminal briefly to allow your ECU to recalibrate and recognize the increased airflow for optimal performance. No cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications required.

Product Durability & Material Details

The intake tube is manufactured from T304 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, selected for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and excellent resistance to heat and corrosion in the demanding underhood environment. Mandrel-bent construction ensures consistent wall thickness throughout every curve, eliminating weak points and maintaining structural integrity under all driving conditions. The black powder-coated finish with chrome accents provides a sleek, performance-oriented appearance that resists oxidation and maintains its look over time. The high-flow air filter features precision-engineered filtration media designed to trap particles while maximizing airflow—lasting 50,000 miles between cleanings, making it both a performance upgrade and a long-term cost savings.

Your Benefits at a Glance

• Measurable Performance Gains: Feel up to 10% improvements in horsepower and torque, with noticeably stronger acceleration during highway merging and spirited driving.
• Improved Throttle Response: Reduced intake restriction means your engine responds more quickly and eagerly to throttle inputs, making the car feel more alive.
• Enhanced Daily Driving: Modest improvements in fuel economy during steady-state cruising complement the performance gains, making this upgrade practical for daily use.
• Sporty Engine Bay Aesthetic: Black and chrome finish replaces dated factory plastic components with a clean, performance-oriented look.
• Long-Term Savings: Washable and reusable filter eliminates the recurring cost of disposable paper filters for the life of your vehicle.
