What kind of exhaust/intake
I am looking to stick about 600 into my 05 evo MR which is an every day driver, but I would like to get it a little prepared for AutoX. I would like an exhaust that will add some performance but wont make riding in the car annoying. Maybe exhaust with a silencer or something. I also think the next logical upgrade is intake... Any reccomendations on what to buy?

intake is pointless unless you want to hear awesome turbo noises, u also need a tune with cone filters, just get a k&n drop in filter on the stock airbox. for exhaust search and pick one. i have buschur personally and like it. For the price u want to spend, u probably want megan

Megan tbe or LP1 tbe ( both is 550), and intake go with K&N drop in... cause if u put an aftermarket intake ur gonna need a tune ( if u decide to put an intake without a tune, most likely u will lose hp)

Only way to spend $600 and get both of those parts is the Megan TBE from Zeus and a K&N drop-in filter. There's no reason to get an intake, and I don't know why you'd even mention it...that would mean you haven't been around long and haven't done any research I'm guessing.
The Megan will be loud, though, and if you put the silencer in, then it's like not having an exhaust...complete waste and a terrible idea.

Sorry, just got the evo about 2 weeks ago and have just started my research. I hand an eclipse before and intake was a quick upgrade that gave some extra power so that was nice. As far as exhaust, the reason its nice to have a silencer is because it is my every day driver, but I also use it for autoX. So if by taking the silencer out you gain HP that is Ideal for my situation. I am not one of those guys who likes my car to be so loud (exhaust) I can't think.

Most of us don't like to be loud, but driving around with the silencer in is just plain dumb. It robs you of ALL YOUR POWER. Plus, exhaust is completely unnecessary for autocrossing. Extra horsepower is a very minor aid in autocrossing. $600 spent on R-compounds would drop your times by 2s whereas 20-30whp from an exhaust would drop your times maybe a tenth. Do not waste your time and money on an exhaust if you're going to use the silencer daily. That would be a huge waste...why would you not want that 20-30whp/wtq on a daily basis? I know loudness sucks, but it's not nearly as bad as not having that extra power.

I know you are new here, but this question has been asked a million times. I am not flaming you in any way, but a simple search would have given you the answer.
First, stay with the STOCK intake. The EVO reacts poorly to an open cone intake w/o a tune of the ECU. Add a K&N filter and that is it.
Second, get an Invidia exhaust. It has a resonator on the mid-pipe and it is one of the quietest 3 inch exhausts out there. Click on my signature for a sound file.
I would also recommend getting a downpipe and a high flow cat. The cost of my mods was as follows:
Invidia Cat-Back exhaust=$389
JIC Down pipe=$259
UR High Flow Cat=$145
The exhaust price was a special promotional price. But you can get the exhaust for around $450

Intakes WILL gain you power when properly tuned...
