The Ultimate sleeper would look all stock with an FP Red on pump gas!!! Change of heart for you:

No intake or IC pipes, No IC, No exhaust, nothing you could see by poping the hood.

FP Red, 3" Down Pipe, FIC 1150 Injectors, 255 Fuel Pump, K&N drop in, boost controller and gage. That should be good for 400WHP. And when you sell it, it will look all stock! It's easier that way.

To be hones the LICP gives you better spool. But don't expect any big gains out of it. I would say a couple of HP at the most. Ask any tuner.

ETS LP2 Dyno Sheet

Here is a dyno graph showing the difference - This is the average of 3 runs, so the highest and lowest were removed.

Thanks,

my 2cents. intake, full 3in turboback, mbc, boost gauge, wideband (optional but recommended), and a good tune will put u into 12s. maybe 11s if ur that good of a driver.

this can cost u between 1000-2000 total. depending on the company or person u buy the parts from and the cost of whoever tunes u. not a bad deal.

theres a way u can get the stock wastegate to hold more boost. u will have to search for that. i cant remember exactly how to old it but i plan on doing this myself before i get my tune.

theres always gonna be mixed opinions about any intake and piping. doesnt matter who makes it. it all comes down to if u want that part/company on ur car. i had the injen intake and uicp on my old evo 8. it worked great and fitment was nice. car felt stronger up top without a tune.

injen is known for intake systems, just like aem. i dont think u could go wrong with either. just remember no matter what company/part u put on ur car. the true potential of that part wont be really seen til its tuned.

I have one on my Eclipse. There's videos on you tube. They're loud and they stink, but only under WOT. I don't want to do that to my Evo.

I tell most people, if you have worry about cops or asking, it's going to be way too loud. It's only under WOT, but when you hit WOT take your exhaust note and triple it. LOL. I personally, love the way it sounds.
