So i take my 2008 Lancer into the exhaust shop today asking if i could get a few things done...

things i wanted done

Cold Air Intake
Extractors
High flow cat
and Sports exhaust

He said that you cannot do any of the above to the car naturally i told him to get f@#^%*&...

my point is was i right to tell him that or are these mods really not available on my baby????

thankz guys

It depends how you told him and exactly what the response was.
There is no cat available for our cars yet, unless you go with full exhaust from Injen , or a universal high flow cat (unless our cats have 02 sensor built in, then u're SOL anyways). Then again, unless you are in Cali, Injen wont fit your car. What exactly do you mean by sports exhaust anyways? just high performance, fart can style muffler? And if this was an exhaust shop, why are you asking them about intake? And what in the world are extractors? Exhaust Extractor is another word for a muffler. You should probably clarify your questions to the guy and ask him to clarify his answer instead of blowing up and cussing him out.
In my opinion you probably didnt clarify what you want and the guy didnt understand you right. Bottom line, exhaust shop can build you a custom made exhaust, from header down.
Last but not least, look around the forum and see what options are available for intake/exhaust setups.

Before going into the shop i asked them if they do intakes, they said yes. By sports exhaust i mean a full exhaust like Ti-C from Greddy you know with the cannon and what not... I live in Australia so your saying that means the CAI for 2008 lancers that Injen advertises will not fit my car unless im from Cali??? thats well... confusing... I didnt cuss him out i told him politely i was merely exaggerating after all he did let me use his lift which was good so i could see what was going on better... Extractors are usually used when the original manifold has cracked due to extreme heat, or if you want more performance or fuel economy out of your vehicle. Also known as headers its goal is to make it easier for the engine to push the exhaust gases out of the engine cylinders.

Sorry i was still firery when i created this...

well first off. the greddy exhaust for our cars is an axel back not full.
second. no hes saying the injen EXHAUST wont fit your car unless you have a cali spec car. not the intake. (because if you looked around injen has a full exhaust system as well as a CAI for our car)
the intake will fit any car on any part of tha world.
and i have never heard of extractors either. they have always been called headers where i come from.

bottom line...if you came in my shop and asked for all this i probly would have told you the same thing he did.

Thanks for the help guys...
I took a three hour drive to a city and asked for the above and the guy said he could do it all for me... Even could get the headers over night... So thanks guys i sorted it all out... Except for the Greddy im just going to get a Header back exhaust so if anyone has a suggestion i would appreciate that...

Everything I would have replied, gotthatGTS already said.. :)

They are overnighting headers? What brand did you get, I think the only company that makes them so far is RRM?
There is no header back exhaust yet other than Injen, and Injen wont work on your car since you're not in cali. You just need to have exhaust shop make you a custom one. Get separate muffler, high flow catalytic converter and resonator (and yes, you need resonator, otherwise your car will sound like A$$).
So the guy was able to get you a high flow cat too? or you havent found that yet? cuz once again, our cats have O2 sensor in it, so an aftermarket one wont work unless they make em with 02 bung.

Yeah... I didnt question him he just said that it all can be done... They ran their warehouse and it has the headers instock... The exhaust place just made up a beautiful system for my friends Chrysler 300C which i enjoyed the sound of so i figure i will let him make one up if need be... Well he quoted the highflow Cat so i figure he can get one... All yeah i figure you need a resonator but thats all the first guy was going to put in and nothing else... So yeah im happy and thanks for the help guys...

we aim to please

Bad news lads... Anything other than a cat back exhaust will void my warranty which is not something i am willing to do... Ahh well one day

Huh? Man where are you getting all this information from.. Custom exhaust will not void your warranty unless it causes a problem, which in my humble opinion, unless your pipe is sticking up under your fuel tank, u shouldn't have any problems.. after all, all an exhaust is , is a friggin pipe that lets the fumes home out.. stock or aftermarket, its still a pipe. :)

i got custom exhaust.
and if i have to i can unbolt it and bolt the stock back up
rule of thumb for warranties..anything you do to a car make sure its possible to remove it and replace w/stock. if you cant then its mostlikely going to void your warranty.
so if the guys at this exhaust shop have any knowhow at all they should be able to make you a bolt up exhaust. it might cost a lil more but it can be done.

and as simmoes said it can only void your warranty if it is proven as the cause of a problem..if you were to have one. there is a law that states it. (i actually keep a printed copy in my glove box incase they wanna argue at the dealership haha)

Sorry my post was unclear.
The cat back exhaust is the only thing that wont void my warranty.
The headers and highflow cat will.
However I am not sure of about the CAI.

Hope this was a little more clear.

:gitara:

intake will not void your warranty.

Thanks bro your car looks pretty tight... Do you show it? And What mods you got...

this is really offtopic but thanks.
the list is a page long i wrote them all down one day at work when i got bored. lol hit me up w/a message nd ill list them. cuz i dont wanna get this post locked for bein off topic :banana:

go there and have a look around, we got a lot of 08 performance parts. And we ship international. In fact we have severl customers out in australia

Can a highflow air filter work hand in hand with a CAI or can you have only one or the other?

CAI already comes with high flow air filter. it replaces your entire intake system.

If you are talking about the drop in high flow filter, then im totally confused.. u wanna have 2 filters?

The drop in filter caught my attention and i thought i could add it as well but it appears i dont need to... Im just gonna order the injen CAI and stop stalling :P
