Make sure what you get will fit around any future mods (strut bars). I had to replace my RMR SRI with an Injen SRI because the RRM x-bar does not fit around it. RMR is a good intake I am also happy with the Injen intake that I bought.

Well everyone else has already flamed you to search so I wont even mention the fact that you should search.

A SRI basically comes down to the filter because they are all simular. RMR and K&N would be the best choices though. Course you might as well get the best priced one because a SRI wont give you much performance, mostly sound.

But nobody flamed you for asking people to vote without posting a poll, so I will :P

Anyway, as said above, we're talking a difference of .001 hp here. I loved my RMR one because it had a heat shield that also allowed me to custom make some ducting to provide extra fresh air from underneath (I'm sure I got .002 hp out of that one), but aside from that get whichever one is prettiest. If I were to go back and do it again, I would have bought the RRM one because I like carbon fiber (they didn't offer the heat shield back then)

and on that note, I am finally free to leave work and go home. Thankfully, I can use evom at work, because yahoo mail and myspace are blocked!

i've got the rrm with the carbon fiber heatshield and it looks really nice under the hood. since performance wise they all do the same thing go with something that looks good

Do a search in the registry, quite a few people have the RMR intake. Everyone has their own preferences, there are some people who are happy with their 40$ ebay specials and there are those who only want to buy the brand names like injen, K&N, etc.. I have the RRM intake and it does the job.

Here's some pics of the RMR one for you. Note, the top pic is with the battery relocated and ducting in its place.

From the side


And finally, it's easy to remove the stock box. There's about 4 screws and a bracket. Just follow the instructions with the intake you buy or check out the how-to forum.

I got me an INJEN Cold Air Intake myself. Probably one of the best mods I've added to my lancer. All intakes seem the same to me, especially the short ram intakes, but I would go with INJEN or RRM SRI.
