Using this DC Sports Short Ram Intake is easy. First, gather all the parts that come in the kit. You'll find all the hardware you need included. Then, take out the old, restrictive OEM rubber intake pipe. Next, install the smooth mandrel - bent aluminum tubing that comes with the kit. Attach the high - flow DC Sports performance air filter. There's no need to cut or modify anything. Just follow the included instructions. When it comes to maintenance, check the air filter regularly. If it looks dirty, clean or replace it as needed. This will help keep the intake system working at its best. Make sure to always use it in a vehicle that meets the 2008 - 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.4L Manual Transmission specification to ensure it functions properly and stays compliant with emissions standards.
