Product Overview
The Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X is a complete high-performance air intake filter assembly — featuring a genuine carbon fibre housing or heat shield combined with a high-flow performance filter element that replaces the factory air filter and airbox system.
The factory air filter system in the 2008–2017 Mitsubishi Lancer, Ralliart, and EVO X is a sealed airbox design — functional, quiet, and engineered for emissions compliance rather than maximum performance.
The factory airbox is made from plain black ABS plastic, positioned in the engine bay without any meaningful thermal insulation from engine heat sources, and uses a standard paper filter element that prioritises particle filtration over airflow volume.
The Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set replaces this factory system with a high-performance carbon fibre alternative — increasing airflow volume to the turbocharger, improving thermal management of the intake air, and transforming the visual quality of the most prominent engine bay component into a genuine carbon fibre showpiece.
Whether you are building a show Lancer in Sydney, a stage-tuned Ralliart in Melbourne, a track-ready EVO X in Brisbane, or a premium street build in Perth — the Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set is the intake upgrade that delivers on both performance and presentation.

Why the Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set is the Best Intake Upgrade
The air filter and airbox are the starting point of the entire turbocharger intake system.
Every cubic metre of air that enters the turbocharger compressor begins its journey through the air filter.
The quality, volume, temperature, and restriction of the air passing through this component directly impacts turbocharger efficiency, boost response, and maximum power output — particularly on the turbocharged Lancer Ralliart and EVO X builds that are the heart of the Mitsubishi performance community across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.
The factory ABS airbox was designed to balance intake noise, emissions compliance, and adequate performance — not to maximise turbocharger intake efficiency.
The Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X is designed specifically to maximise intake performance.
Higher-flow filter media, carbon fibre thermal insulation, and optimised intake geometry combine to deliver more air, cooler air, and less restricted air to the turbocharger — translating directly into improved throttle response, faster boost build, and more consistent power delivery on tuned Lancer Ralliart and EVO X builds.

Performance Benefits of the Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set
Improved Intake Airflow — Real Turbocharger Performance Gains
The Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X delivers measurable performance improvements across three key intake system dimensions.
1. Reduced Intake Restriction
The factory paper filter element creates significant restriction in the intake air path — by design, prioritising filtration efficiency over airflow volume.
The high-flow performance filter element in the Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set maintains excellent filtration capability while dramatically reducing intake restriction — allowing more air volume per unit time to reach the turbocharger compressor inlet.
On turbocharged Lancer Ralliart and EVO X builds across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, reduced intake restriction translates directly into faster boost build, improved throttle response, and more consistent power delivery.
2. Lower Intake Air Temperature
Carbon fibre has significantly superior thermal insulation properties compared to factory ABS plastic.
The carbon fibre housing and heat shield in the Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set reduce the thermal transfer from engine bay heat sources into the intake air stream — maintaining lower intake air temperatures than the factory system under equivalent conditions.
Cooler intake air is denser — delivering more oxygen per combustion cycle for improved turbocharger efficiency and power output on tuned builds.
This benefit is particularly significant during sustained performance driving in Australian summer conditions across Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth — where engine bay temperatures are highest and factory ABS components transfer the most heat into the intake system.
3. Improved Engine Bay Presentation
The Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set transforms the most prominent underbonnet component — the air filter housing — into a genuine carbon fibre showpiece.
When the bonnet opens at car shows across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, the carbon fibre air filter housing is one of the first and most prominent components visible — immediately communicating the quality level of the build to every enthusiast who looks inside.

Installation Guide – Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set
Installing your Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X is a straightforward direct replacement process. Allow approximately 30–60 minutes with basic mechanical skills.
Required Tools
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Flat head screwdriver
- Hose clamp screwdriver or 7mm socket
- 10mm socket wrench (airbox mounting bolts)
- Microfibre cloths
- Isopropyl alcohol (connection cleaning)
Step-by-Step Installation
- Open and Prop Bonnet: Open the bonnet and safely prop using the factory bonnet stay rod
- Locate Factory Airbox: Identify the complete factory air filter airbox assembly — note all connection points, wiring connectors, and mounting hardware
- Disconnect MAF Sensor Wiring: Carefully unplug the MAF sensor wiring connector from the factory intake ducting
- Loosen Intake Clamps: Loosen all hose clamps securing the factory airbox to the intake ducting and snorkel connections
- Disconnect Air Temperature Sensor: If an intake air temperature sensor is fitted to the factory airbox, carefully unplug the wiring connector
- Remove Airbox Mounting Bolts: Unbolt all factory airbox mounting bolts using a 10mm socket
- Lift Factory Airbox Free: Carefully lift the complete factory airbox assembly free from the engine bay — note the exact mounting position for reference
- Clean Mounting Points: Wipe all mounting point surfaces with isopropyl alcohol — remove oil and contamination
- Dry Fit Carbon Filter Set: Position the Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set in the engine bay — confirm mounting point alignment and intake connection positions
- Connect MAF Sensor: Reconnect the MAF sensor wiring to the correct position on the Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set
- Reconnect Air Temperature Sensor: If applicable, reconnect the intake air temperature sensor wiring
- Secure Intake Connections: Connect all intake ducting to the carbon filter housing and tighten all hose clamps firmly — all connections must be completely airtight
- Mount Carbon Housing: Secure the Carbon Fibre Air Filter Set housing to the factory mounting points using all original bolts
- Final Connection Check: Verify all hose clamps are tight, all wiring connectors are secure, and all connections are fully seated
- Start Engine: Start the engine and listen for any unexpected intake noise — a hissing sound indicates an air leak requiring immediate attention
- Final Engine Bay Inspection: Confirm all connections are correct and the carbon fibre housing is correctly displayed in the engine bay
Important: All intake connections must be completely airtight — any air leak after the MAF sensor will cause incorrect air-fuel ratio readings and potential engine damage. Confirm all hose clamps are firmly tightened before starting the engine. If the check engine light illuminates or the engine runs roughly after installation, inspect all connection points for air leaks immediately. Professional installation is recommended across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth for the most precise result.
