Apexi Power Intake Kit - 2001-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7/8/9 (CT9A)
Apexi Power Intake Kit - 2001-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7/8/9
Unleash the full potential of your Evo's 4G63 turbo engine with the Apexi Power Intake Kit. Engineered specifically for the CT9A chassis (Evo 7, 8, and 9), this bolt-on performance air intake system features Apexi's innovative Dual Funnel design that reduces air turbulence and delivers maximum airflow to your turbocharger for measurable power gains and improved throttle response.
Key Features:
- Dual Funnel design reduces air turbulence for smoother, more efficient airflow
- Dry-type maintenance-free filter eliminates MAF sensor contamination issues
- 10% reduction in ventilation resistance compared to previous Apexi models
- Bolt-on installation with no cutting or permanent modifications
- Complete kit includes all necessary hardware and brackets
- Engineered specifically for 4G63 turbo engine in Evo 7/8/9
- Premium Apexi quality and engineering from Japan
- Maintains proper MAF sensor function for accurate tuning
Performance Benefits:
- Increased Horsepower & Torque: Improved airflow delivers measurable power gains throughout the RPM range
- Enhanced Throttle Response: Reduced intake restriction provides sharper acceleration
- Improved Turbo Spool: Better airflow helps turbo spool faster for reduced lag
- Aggressive Intake Sound: Hear your turbo working with enhanced induction noise
- Better Engine Breathing: Less restrictive than factory airbox system
- Maintenance-Free Filter: Dry-type filter won't contaminate MAF sensor like oiled filters
Dual Funnel Technology:
Apexi's proprietary Dual Funnel design is the key to this intake's superior performance. The dual-funnel configuration smooths airflow and reduces turbulence as air enters the filter, creating a more laminar flow path to the turbocharger. This results in improved volumetric efficiency, better throttle response, and consistent power delivery across the entire RPM range.

Why Dry-Type Filter?
Unlike oiled performance filters that can contaminate the MAF sensor and cause running issues, Apexi's dry-type filter provides excellent filtration without the risk of oil migration. This means consistent MAF sensor readings, proper fuel mapping, and reliable performance without the maintenance hassles of cleaning and re-oiling traditional performance filters.
About Apexi:
Apexi is one of Japan's most respected performance tuning companies, with decades of experience developing high-quality aftermarket parts for Japanese performance vehicles. The Power Intake Kit represents Apexi's commitment to engineering excellence, combining proven technology with meticulous attention to detail and fitment.
