Nah, just do a drop in. Its really not gonna yield that much especially without a tune.

the pipe itself doesn't make much power thats why most ppl just stick with the stock pipe.u will deffinitely need a tune if u install the pipe though.

That pipe comes with a plastic MAF adapter which have been known to cause leaks making the car untunable which is useless for the evo because the full intake would need a tune or you will lose horsepower.

^+1! Stay away dont waste your money, do your research you will see that most products are NG and a waste of your hard earned cashola! Save the dough and buy the real deal or for now at least do the drop in

Yes ebay parts seem to generally suck!You got to take into consideration that companies like HKS,Perrin,Ams,Bushuer etc actually R&D on the parts before they make them available for sale to make sure the parts will actually help the car and not hurt the car.All that ebay crap is just a copy of another companies product which Im sure they do not even test to see if it hurts or helps the car.Plus ebay parts use lower quality materials to construct the parts.Just save your money and buy a part from a respected company you know will help our car.
