AEM Induction 21-778C Cold Air Intake System for 2015-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L and 2.4L

The AEM 21-778C Performance Cold Air Intake System produces horsepower and torque gains by replacing your vehicle's restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing. Air enters the system through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter for outstanding air flow, filtration and performance. The air filter is relocated to be in driver-side wheel well which is designed to reduce intake air temperature and increase horsepower. The lower air intake tube is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube with a durable gunmetal gray powder coat finish. The upper air intake tube is a roto-molded, aerodynamically engineered, HDPE tube that insulates the cooler intake air from heat as it passes through the engine bay and into the engine's throttle body. This air intake system was developed to accommodate the Lancer's factory emissions control devices including the mass airflow sensor and PCV hose. The tapered cylinder shaped AEM Dryflow air filter is made from an oil-free, synthetic filter media that can be used for up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed (depending on driving conditions). Some AEM air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards, while others are 50 state legal.

AEM's Performance Cold Air Intake Systems are designed, tuned and dyno-tested to give your engine more power and acceleration by replacing the restrictive factory air filter, air intake tubing and air box assembly.

• Utilizes washable, reusable, oil-free synthetic filter media that preserves airflow efficiency, traps harmful contaminants, and provides long-term value over disposable filters.
• AEM Lifetime Limited Warranty

The AEM Induction 21-778C Performance Cold Air Intake System is designed for 2015-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer models equipped with 2.0L or 2.4L engines. By replacing the restrictive factory air filter, airbox, and intake tubing, this system improves airflow to help support increased horsepower, torque, throttle response, and acceleration. The intake is dyno-tested and engineered to work with the vehicle’s factory emissions-control components, including the mass airflow sensor and PCV hose.

The system relocates the washable AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter to the driver-side wheel well, where cooler intake air can help reduce intake temperatures. Its oil-free filter media provides efficient filtration while preserving airflow and can be cleaned and reused for long-term value. The lower intake tube is constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum with a durable gunmetal gray powder-coat finish, while the upper tube uses aerodynamically engineered roto-molded HDPE to help insulate incoming air from engine-bay heat.
