Why did you say that lowbdgtmechanic? The JDM MR DV is an OEM BOV that works perfectly. WHy would you say it will run like sh*t? An HKS intake will make you run poorly without a tune, but not a JDM MR DV. Hell, that's your STOCK BOV - did your car run like crap from the factory? No.
Reggie, the JDM MR DV (stock IX BOV) makes almost no noise with the stock intake. It's purpose is not to make noise, but rather to release pressure when under boost and letting off the gas so that the compressor wheel is not damaged.

The Helix intake is $150 and will yield the same 10hp as the HKS for close to $300. Ask your boy, Al he recommends it along with the other vendors I spoke with before ordering.

The HKS intake is a POS, look at this:

It has been proven in pressure tests, on dynos, etc that stock intake yields no restrictions what so ever. Search, i'm not going to do it for you, but it's true. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't spend enough time researching their car.
If you need noise, looks, and a 50 rpm better spool up time, just get the BR intake.
All the Evo VIII intakes available work on the Evo IX, to answer the original question.

yes if you read my previous post here. i said "HKS RS intake then get a tune"...Now about the BOV, base on someone elses expirience not mines[sorry], well he put blitz bov then hks and his car ran like sh*t. so he went with hks rs then tune right away.

why would they recommend keeping the stock intake when they can make money off all the newbs

Sorry to hear that you think that way. Some vendors actually care about their customers and their cars and aren't out just to make a quick buck. If half of what you said was true why would they be pushing an intake which costs half the price of the HKS piece. Doesnt make too much sense does it.?
PS. Al does not sell the Helix unit.

Al does recommend intake, as well as BR, cool. But all i'm saying is why waste the money when it's been proven to provide little to no gains, and stock has no restrictions. Like i said, i'm not going to dig up the studies done, but i have seen plenty, search for yourself. Warr went 12.0 on stock intake, you think he would have ran 11's w/ a cone? DOUBTFUL. Looks like he saved himself $200, i would rather buy race gas.
