im lookin for an evo and this one doesnt seem too bad. im sure i can work the price down a lil more. can you guys check out the engine bay pic and tell me what you guys see? what kind of intake is that? thanks in advance

Agree with the high price. I feel like you can find a better deal. I also don't know what intake that it. But it looks like it has aftermarket upper intercooler pipes, but can't tell for sure. And out of all honesty, I wouldn't go with a used Evo with mods or mid milage, never know who beat the hell out of it. Just my opinion, good luck

Thats the stock intake, with the top section removed and the top clips holding the air filter in place....a bit sketchy in my opinion. Everything else looks stock under the hood. Car does seem too expensive though and if removing the top of the filter box is somebody's idea of a mod, who knows what else has been done to it.

A weird shift knob, a cheapo boost gauge, some kind of exhaust and a varis style PU front lip. Yeah, I'll agree with EVOSE06. Pretty sketchy if they're using cheap parts and think leaving the filter cover open is a kind of "mod". But of course, the car is pretty close to stock as it can be. Stock shocks and stock springs so it looks like they never even tried lowering it.

To me this evo looks stock. The open element air filter is easily fixable. The cusco power brace is a nice touch on a blue evo. The miles are lowish. The upper intercooler pipe is stock. Check to see if the 30k service was done. If this Evo has the hid fogs then I would buy this Evo if I didnt already have one.
I say take it for a test drive and go WOT. If the clutch doesn't slip then try to get it OTD for 21K.

as my auto teacher would say that's a piece of **** but on another note the intakes sketchy and the price is to high if u hang around on the forums for a while you can find a lower mileage evo for cheaper
