Need help deciding
As the title says, i need help deciding on a few parts.
Ive serach and seen all the different ones out there, im just completely undecided on what to get.
Right now im debating on an intake system and intercooler system.
For the intake right now i have the custom SRI but im getting a tune soon so i wanted to replace the OEM crap and get a bigger MAF housing. IDK whether or not the 3' MAF housing is enough so should i get a 3', a 3.5' or what? And theres always the option of a velocity stack also.
The intercooler system is also another mystery. Im Evo X swaped and running the stock Evo X intercooler and piping. I was looking around and like ETS has their kit for a 3' intercooler system with piping for ~$950 and then on the flip side UR has a 4.5' intercooler system with piping for the same price. Theres also the opiton of mixed matched piping and intercooler.
And in my conundrum of thoughts i decided to turn to the community to get more collective thoughts!

Well I have the UR intake & it sounds sick as far as intercooler & piping I mixed & matched with an AMS intercooler w/ AMS UICP & UR LICP.....I just got my car tuned & it is a whole new beast now!

I just got my ETS 3.5" in today and I couldn't be happier with the build and the results they produced for me, (micheal at ets will do anything he can to help) but ill be running injen piping and intake with the FMIC,
Will let you know how it is once tuned with cams installed.

Ok, like I said before about the ETS 3.5,
Without it tuned it felt like it was already stronger. New fuel pump was put in as well today and it just feels good,
It did require removing the whole undertray due to it being a tight fit between the fan and a/c lines, I also had to do a few body mods to get it on but nothing serious, could we have gotten it on another way yes, but we wanted to do a few things anyways.
I'll post a graph when I do a pull untuned and a baseline with a conservative tune. Both will be done with 90 octane.
But as far as intercoolers ets 3.5 is the way to go.
