OK first of all I am not arguing...I am stating experience...second of all I don't care if it says EvoM guru. I will start a debate with anyone. I know forced induction is the way to go...I also have figured this out. I just like debating for the sake of debate...it gets all opinions out and helps people learn more about the topic. I respect his knowledge...trust me...but as far as arguments...maybe you took this the wrong way.

yeah i did blow it out of proportion sorry about that. it is true there wont be any difference in gains between the cai and sri for a lancer. for most other cars, there are larger gains, but the lancer falls up short, so you might as well just save the extra ~50-100 you would have spent on the cai and get the sri.

I wish I had taken off the little fake mesh when I had the CAI but I wanted to protect the filter from road debris. During the summer raining months however the peace of mind of having a SRI vs a CAI is priceless. No hydrolock fears at all!!!!!

I think the real gain in either a CAI or a SRI set up is just the larger air filter... it is almost pointless where it is mounted. Like it has been said before though, SRIs are cheaper in cost and no worries about hydrolock... plus they are easier to get to to clean and I like the way it looks in my engine bay, regardless of HP gain. I do notice that my third gear was stronger after my intake though... maybe that was just hopes and dreams... haha.

It's not the size of the filter but the micron rating. The less microns it filters, the more air gets sucked in, but the dirtier the engine gets. Second, what I was saying about CAI is that the reason they are used is because colder air is denser than warmer air, which means more oxygen to mix with the fuel and burn.
Hence the reason for the faster 1/4 mile times in winter...
he only true difference that increases performance is air temperature. Summer time (Hot) times are half a second slower than winter (cool) air temperatures.
