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.

I agree ^^^^ a stock factory setup is sh*t rip it out asap

Personly got no idea what you all mean I had a pod when bought the car but changed it and I mine ends just after the box ?? No idea

Noticed any diff since you changed back to pod

Yeh the snorkel is a clusterfuck, bin it

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.

Hey ben, you know where the umm.. template is for yours/aza/dwaynes airbox?

haha
man my friend was with me when we saw it and could not believe how stupid it is

Hey ben where do you get that flexible 3 inch tube from? Which store sells them?

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

Yeah, mine was from Auto One.

Thanks guys

When i first found that i couldn't get my head around how f**king stupid it was

I want to know who came up with that, and who's the guy that approved it.... they both need a good smacking

Maybe it was meant for intake noise reduction.. Oh well.

Stef, my airbox is based on Koolio's template, I've never had any issues with it yet and its not too hard to make, you just need patience, tough scissors, and precision cutting skiellzzzz with the scissors
