What's the best intake?

What's the best intake horsepower wise for my evo? I've looked at the AEM, Injen, K&N, HKS, and ARC. Any advice?

On the stock turbo from the results I've seen luckily a K&N Panel filter seems to be as effective as any in tuned applications in picking up a few extra hp. As for the other conical style filter setups theyre mostly noise. Also I would not modify anything on the intake side untuned, our ECU's dont seem to compensate correctly causing overly lean condition in some instances as with conical style filter setups which is never a good thing.

The stock filter is the best for the stock turbo.

Yes, just use the K&N drop in, I had the HKS RS, didn't do anything for me but make a lot of noise. Went back to stock.

Wait till Works come out with their intake kit. I've heard that it would be like stock set up but just better. Other wise, stock box with high flow filter is way to go.
