Stock intake
Today i changed my stock air filter box back to HKS pod filter, but when doing this i notices the intake piping "snorkle going through the engine bay to the behind front bar coming out sideways!, now whoever designed it at Mitsubishi is a total idiot.. it has 4 bends from the snorkel to the engine.. anyone else notice this?, ill take a picture if knowone gets me.

Yep, quite a few people (including me) have replaced this with a custom cold air induction setup.

Re: Stock intake
A flexible 3 inch tube actually threads right into that hole. f**k off the stock item & just run the pipe from there to the back of your front bar mesh.

Re: Stock intake
Most auto shops or hardwear shops have it.
I got the alloy flex tube from hardwear house, I think it was around $15-$20.
