Welcome!

(I knew it would be blue...)

You already seem to have a plan for what you want to do, so get at it. Try to do as much work as you can yourself (sans the tint, get somewhere professional for that with a warranty). I'd lose the drop-in though and go with something more substantial, though.


.. have you noticed low speed shifts from first into second don't have a smooth mesh? or sometimes first "pops" out of gear when you go into neutral under movement?

Agreed, I wouldn't go with a drop-in. Maybe a nice CAI or SRI would be a better choice??? Anyways welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy your car. Also agreeing again with the tinting (get a warranty). Other suggestions I would have depending how far you want to go; Black out the front, evo x style license plate, system and or new speakers/tweeters, new deck (if you didn't get the nav package), exhaust...
Most of these mods can be done pretty cheap if you do it yourself...


Also before I forget if you care about your paint job get 3M stoneguarding immediately

an Injen or AEM cold air intake. They're more expensive and involved in the installation, but the results are more dramatic. They do increase intake volume, a roar not a fart. Since you're thinking exhaust, you've got the latter covered..

unless ??? was about "ftw" (for the win). it means the preceding statement should be true/the better choice. i hate "ftw".

Pulstar Plugs add a great improvement on low end power too, only $100.00 plus shipping, I added these to my CVT and they exceeded my expectations.

Seriously man...

USE THE SEARCH FEATURE

Everybody on this forum had a new Lancer at one point and we all wondered what kinds of mods were available and what were better than others. Don't you think maybe a few people have already asked the questions you have?

It's really annoying seeing the same topic pop up over and over and over and over.
