Question Which intake has the most power gains?

Ive searched and search, but I cant seem to find any information on which intake systems for the evo are better or worse than others. Anyone have any information?

theyre all around the same gains...

You can spend 250 on a buschur and pick up 12-15whp

or $50 on a k & n filter and adapter and pick up 10-12whp....

You mean $80 on a Buschur... The MAF pipe is a separate part - the filter itself is $80.

The Buschur pipe and filter kit is the only one I have found that affects the MAF less than 3% according to Evoscan. All others range from 10% on up. What this means in english is its the least likely to need an immediate retune because its going to cause weird lean spots and ptotentially cause other issues.

Before I went overboard on my car the guys at Mynes put a Blitz Induction cover on my airbox. Before putting the filter on I was dynoing at 275 WHP on a Mustang Dyno with exhaust, intercooler and upgraded cams as my mods. After the filter was in my dyno numbers were around 298 WHP.

that's inpressive, never would've thunk it. maybe i'll switch to one of those. i was thinking about it before, but went with the apexi. the only thing i hate about the cone filters is the turbo is so loud under part throttle boost.

no i mean you go to pep boy sand by the filter for $35 and you buy a maf adapter from napa for $15.

$35 + $15 = $50

any questions?

Huh? I was referring to you saying a Buschur intake costs $250 when it costs $80. Hello? I didn't say anything about your $50 Pep Boys solution. You cannot be that dense...I refuse to believe it.

i just installed the injen upper pipe and intake and i really like it. Im doubting it's gained more than a couple horsepower without a good tune, but it really does feel better. I personally like the sound of the turbo spooling and bov with this intake.

The buschur intake costs 250 for the pipe and filter.... The filter is 80, correct.... but by spend 80 on that and pay for shipping when you can get a k & n filter and adapter for 50 locally.....

yes dense.....

have a good night fanboy

they tested filtration of about 6-8 different filters to see how effective they were at removing dust/debris in a magazine(i think turbo), and the hks RS finished last, the apexi was first.
