Buy specs
Okay so im about to get some new stuff for my car and i need some help on finding some stuff. 1st off im getting some Denso Spark plugs for my 02 0z lancer and i searched their site for new spark plug wires but havent found any so i need help for that. Next i am getting the K&N air typhoon SRI, i have heard that the AEM is better from a local aftermarket shop near by but im still getting the K&N for help on this one i found the 1 i want (its red) but it cost like freaking $255 was wondering if there was another place you guys know of that is cheaper that sells the red tyhpoon. Thanks.

Hey, where in VA do you live? Anyway, the spark plugs you can get from anywhere that's easy, just make sure you get the right gap.
For the air intake try RRM they make a SRI for our cars that sells for 149? I'm not sure... or you can go with an ebay intake, and swap out a K&N for the cheapo one they give you... those are some options.

you can get the sparks plugs from pretty much any place that sells car parts. for the ignition wires, you might as well just get the 8.5mm magnacor wires heres a link to the cheapest that i know of: http://www.ptuning.com/html/Item-Des...delDesc=Lancer . as for the k&n sri, everywhere i have seen them advertised they are about that price, you might as well get a cai for the same price (aem is a little cheaper).

Denso is way too expensive get the NGK iridium. I dont care what spark plus you have there not going to make you go faster or burn better that is until you go turbo. Wires are not necessary until you go turbo but look better. Any intake will work as long as the mas will fit, the filter is what you want to be good.

Personally, I would stay away from the short ram intakes. They add almost no power...I would do custom plastic tubing (dissipates heat faster) and run it down behind the front fender for cold air. Make sure to put a bypass valve before the MAF otherwise you will run the risk of sucking water into your engine and seriously mess something up. Good luck...

I have them too, and I'm not gonna lie...that's why I bought them too. No shame in it, just no real gains in it either. And honestly, you'll have about the same gains with a SRI as a CAI, so don't fool yourself into feeling like you're being cheated either. I've said it at least a few times, and I'll say it again. The biggest difference between the two is the sound.

If you seriously think a CAI gives you significantly more power, you should step on a dyno.
