Your manual has torque specs for something that obscure? That's awesome...
After I posted I realized that my TQ wrench was still at my parents house, so they just got snugged up real good lol

Yes the manual has specs for something that obscure. I'm not referring to the user manual, but the technical manual that's used to repair the asx, which is te same thing as an outlander sport. Under strut bar assembly you can see that the upper bolts have to be torqued to 45 nm while the center bolt of the strut needs 60nm

I finally had time to mounted the RA snorkel last night, I will post some pics up later. The install went pretty easy, I did have to cut about 1.5" off of the front like I saw posted. I also drilled (2) 2" size holes in the plastic shroud that blocks the air from the outside from reaching the inlet in the snorkel. Then I cut with a razor blade between the two holes opening it up to match the stock cut in the frame for the air inlet. Now it is fully functional getting air straight from outside grill into the Greddy air box. Oh and I just riveted the old bracket from the stock snorkel on to the RA one to hold in place on the radiator shroud. The set up looks like it should have come from the factory that way, and frankly it should have, there is no reason for it not to. The factory Snorkel is crap. Just my 2 cents.

Sup fellas, I'm new here. I just bought myself a 2013 Outlander sport and I'm new to car mods as well. I want to know where can I get the K & N filter? can someone show me a picture of how it looks like? I'd like to silence my engine noise a bit. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, though. Congrats on the new car! I highly recommend the $35 ebay strut tower bar we've all been talking about, it's a great inexpensive way to start off the modding.

There's a thread around here somewhere about the 2013's and the K&N... Unfortunately Mitsu. changed the airbox design for '13 and the evo X filters no longer work. I don't believe K&N makes anything compatible with the new air box as of yet, sorry.

FWIW a K&N will not make your engine quieter...

Vacc - after having done some other mods including a perrin filter I can tell you that modifying the snorkel was a lot more beneficial to mpg and added a bit of noise. The earlier poster used the RA snorkel but I just knocked off the silencer portion of mine and cut the hole in the grille guard which yielded great results for me over the last 3 days.
