I think I'm gonna wait for AEM to come out with the V2 cold air intake for the car. I know AEM already has the short ram available in the color of blue. In any case... AEM intakes rock... their reputation is outstanding.

*update*
You can just get a K&N filter and replace the stock filter that's in your car for now if you want. K&N filters are one of if not the best filters you can buy for optimal air flow without decreasing the filter capabilities.
I heard from someone although I didn't confirm that a turbo charged car can't take cold air intakes for some reason. Someone check to see if that's accurate for me
? Intake modifications are going to be in my buy list very soon and I want to make sure before I buy anything... thanks !

For the original cold air, the part number is: 21-435.
For short ram, the part number is: 22-435
AEM has yet to put out their V2 cold air intake kit for the Evo... YET. However, I would still replace the AEM filter with a K&N one. I "THINK"... rumored actually, that the AEM intake kits actually use K&N filters, but I have yet been able to confirm that.

There are already several threads covering this subject. Pruven Performance and Vishnu Tuning recommend that you save your money. Intake related performance improvements haven proven to be minimal.
Colder intake air temperatures do increase performance, but only if the lower temperature is still present by the time it finally arrives in the combustion chamber. Turbo cars will probably realize less benefits here than a normally aspirated engine due to the longer intake path and heat encountered along the way.
Other wise they just make more noise and some people think they look cool.

Infact, it is greatly prefered... the cooler the air the better the car performs (non technical explanation)

The best intake is the Pipercross Viper Evolution.
Race spec intake, so you will need to custom fit it... (there are no "versions" for different models of car)
It's a Ram Air system that integrates perfectly with the Evolution 6, but I'm not sure how it would look/work with the new Cedia body used in the 7 and 8.
I'll show you mine when it's finished ;-) Promise!
(btw - you would need a mappable ECU to use it though... but that's true of most "extreme" changes to an intake)

they new import tuner has an intake test, the flow benched and dynoed 12 intakes on an rsx (i know, not a lancer or evo, but it has a point), an injen short ram with a jackson racing filter flowed the most cfm, while the aem original cai made the most power. they did not test an injen cai, which imho would have made as much if not more power than the aem.

1) cars that are not the EVO
2) NA cars vs FI cars
will not necessarily pertain to the EVO and have any bearing on what the EVO would do.
In other words, disregard what you read when it comes to figuring out what will be the best for the EVO.
