I have one, and love it. But do not let the auction mislead you, they do not retail for 400$ +. Injen makes good quality stuff.

A stock Evo does not need an aftermarket intake. Your money could be spent more wisely ... such as saving up for an exhaust, which will give you a much bigger bang for the buck.

You won't need it until you start making ridiculous amounts of power (read: bigger turbo).

Seriously, though, with the amount of ca$h you're looking to shell out, there are more rewarding mods out there. A stock Evo won't gain much, if any, power from an intake and driveability may be compromised (idle issues). The first thing you should look at doing, if you're going to mod is either an exhaust, or a tune (flash, piggyback, etc.).

Hey evo8crazii, your dealing with a veteran, I would take his advice. They sound cool and all if thats your thing, but money could be better spent elsewhere.

why spend 365$ with shipping when i sell them and have them in stock for 355$ shipped??? i have this on my car and love it. You'll need to get a retune but its def worth buying. buschur just did a dyno on a upper pipe and he gained like 13whp without changing the tune before and after the pipe, BUT HE DID HAVE A FLASH IN THERE ALREADY. i'd get it, whether u get it from me or not def get it
