Did you ever buy a K&N air filter?

The Works Air Filter should be much better and was designed for the EVO X.
Stainless steel mesh plus up to 6 hp...
I guess everyone will see a different value in easy, bolt-on ponies for $120.

Take care!

Yeah, I've used K&N before, on my Ralliart and I would have probably turned away the second they expected me to pay 120 for it, I think it was no more than $50 if I remember correctly including recharge kit. I agree oiled filters are great due to their reusabillity, but as far as gains K&N dint do anything for me, may be this one is better who knows but as far as K&N goes, the only good thing about it was the reusabillity. I had an Injen CAI with my K&N and it dynoed at 137 hp at the weels over the 132 that it was doing with airbox, I higly doubt an air filter by it self is going to give you 6 horses.

As far as the warranty goes, if you do major modifications like forced induction, yes your warranty is out the window. Most dealers in my experience will look away when it comes to simple bolt ons like intake/exhaust, but if something were to go wrong and it is prooven that the malfunction was due to the mods, theres nothing they can do for you. As far as the suspension components, I've never heard of any voiding your warranty, common sense dictates that if your shocks start going bad after installing some aftermarket springs dont even bother trying to get a warranty claim.

Well gee...
I guess some of us know better than the crew at "Works" who build Evolution race cars.

It was their description that stated "up to 6 hp".

Next time I find Outlander performance parts I won't mention anything.
I was going to look up some contacts in Japan, but some like you make it seem like a waste of time.

Update just letting everyone know. the Strut Tower Bar is only for a 2.4L Japan Version. Outta luck on the front bar.  I got the price for the lower arm bar for $170.00  (that might not fit also)  Cusco rep. is checking for me on this.


*Please note that JDM Outlander front Strut Tower Bar is designed to fit 2.4L Outlander.  This strut bar is not designed to fit 3.0L models.
So anyone knows anything on these items, please post.
Thanks!

We are researching here, personally I think mod air filters are awesome.. it sucks the cold air... warranty n all on the outtie is too good to kill.  I want it stock as much as you can, but still mod it to have performance and handling. =)

Keep everyone posted on new stuff!

Sorry, I probably came across a bit harsh on your post, it was not my intention. By all means please keep posting anything you do find, better to have something for our cars than nothing, and I guess the only way to let manufacturers know theres a market is by us consumers actually buying stuff. I simply was stating the fact that a drop in filter (k&N) to be exact did not register any gains on the dyno in my RA. May be on the Outty its a different story who knows, but that was my experience on my last car.

I have an 07 LS AWD,

I have installed the WeaponR Short Ram Intake and that sounds great under throttle and gave the car a lil more pep.

I also just got a Magnaflo muffler installed and though i dont feel any real power gains, it gave it a great low sound. (First i went nuts and tried a 2 chamber flowmaster, too loud of a droning sound, removed in 36 hours!)

I also removed the spare tire and mount( I carry fix-a-flat and have roadside assistance if REALLY needed anyway)

Ive switched to 5w30 Mobile1 Synthetic and always fill with premium.

OVERALL the car is peppier and sounds great (not loud) but could still use another 50hp for my taste!

Just so you don't have any surprises, the roadside assistance covers the replacement of the flat tire with the spare.  If you don't have a spare, they'll probably fix the picture if it can be, but they'll charge you for it.

As its been talked about several times on this board, filling up with premium is just a waste of money. The outtie only needs 87 octane which in most states is mid or regular.

Yes I read that fine print,  thats why i said " if REALLY needed " because the cost of the repair/replacement is on me.
 
However the convenience and speed of not having to always call independent tow companies, or paying for the initial trip to my location,  is what i refer to as "Roadside Assistance"
 
For general punctures the fix a flat works great.  Have used it twice now.  fills the tire and seals the leak until i get around to getting it fixed properly.  They make a BIG fix-a-flat also for SUV and Truck tires.

You are right... it has been TALKED about alot.  Ive read the posts too, people claim no difference in performance or MPG.  I also agree that there is little if any difference at all, but I FULLY disagree with the statements of the computer having to compensate for the "wrong gas" because its 91 instead of 87 and possibly causing performance loses.  HAHA!
 
Id like to see some detonation test results and some dyno numbers of both grades in a controlled environment on the outlander... but that probably wont happen.
 
Im only used premium on every car i have ever owned... Chevy, Honda, Acura, Mitsubishi, Toyota.  None of them have ever had any problems relating to "Higher than recommended octane"
 
Also, the gas is usualy $0.20 more per gallon.  so a 14Gal fil costs $2.80 more.  Thats the price of a energy drink... a drop in the bucket... $11/month if that.
 
Oh well,  people will buy what they want.  I like the Premium.  If you like Regular then thats cool too!  and heck, Mid-grade is alright also!  :)
