ok my buddy has a evo and i do all the research before i install stuff on his car for him. hes looking to go buy the http://www.automotosports.com/evo_intake.asp that second one. the K and N box replacement filter taht just replaces the stock box. do you tihnk he should get it? ive been reading about some intakes actually hurtin teh power and losing it. is this one of those or no? is it fairly good for what it is? cause i was reading somewehre that the typhoon kit was bad and stuff. thanks
ryan

 

If you are keeping the stock airbox and just replacing the filter with a K&N it will not mess up you A/F. I myself have seen a 7 Whp difference on the Dyno (Stock Evo with just cat-back) with stock vs K&N but dont expect to feel it on your but dyno. It's probably only one of the few that doesnt mess up you A/F to where you will need to be retuned. I highly recommend it and if you get one it will be the last filter you will ever have to buy.

 

please use the search button. it all depends if he plans to have his ecu reflashed or not.

myevo8 im talkn about hte open cone filter not teh square one ... the open cone filter tahts for 60 ... is that one ok? my friend is gettin a greddy type s then a safc II after the filter ... safc will be like after xmas some times ... anyone have that one? RNR makes the same one. thanks ...

 

i had that, lost 3 psi of boost

 

ouchies .. should he just get taht drop in filter then?

 

Aye ...

 

i'm not here to tell him what to get, the filter does its job. When you get a cone filter you will most likely need a tune and def. a BC to boost it back up.

 

you can get into 11's with the stock airbox. I just bought mine for the bling and sound

 

he has a turbo xs boost controller, apexi TT, and RFL blow off.. next is a grddy type recir then a safc II so he shouldnt get it?

 

changing the airbox and adding just a filter with the adaptor has been proved to give the car a WHOPPING 4WHP without any tuning YET, if you change the turbo inlet thats when you will "lose" power unless properly tuned.

 

so ur sayin if i leave the stock intake rubber pipin from teh turbo to the mas meter we will be fine?

 

it all depends on youre car. I've heard stories about all these intake kits loosing and gaining power. My best suggestion is to try all these filters out and see what works best for youre car.
