Good thread, surprised I never saw this. I currently run the Vibrant filter on both my cars.

Apologies for the thread revival.....

Just wonder how different the results would have been for a car without the upgraded TB and with less agressive cams, say a drop in cam?

Reason I ask is that I'm running a stock sized TB, fp green 73hta and will have gsc s1's put in shortly in my Evo 8. Just wondering whether the 4.5inch maf adaptr and pod would be too large?

Kracka's mentioned running the Amsoil in a 4.5inch, which I'm keen to try out, however after talking with my tuner he said I may have some issues with my maf. In input would be appreciated

i tried the apexi, green (not tested), and amsoil with vibrant 4.5" on stock maf. al three ran fine with no issues. gains going from the apexi to the green, green and amsoil felt about the same but decided to stick with amsoil because its dry (hassle free)

Will a Amsoil filter fit on an 03 Evo 8 with stock intake pipe without issues?

I have been wondering this too, I heard they are restrictive and I am considering changing mine before I get re-tuned. Anyone care to chime in?
