Can someone tell me what the best intake is for an evo 9? Some people are saying that a drop in air filter is better and some are saying otherwise. I am looking to purchase a new intake soon and am not sure what to purchase

Thanks,
Zac

 

if you get an intake you will see no gains and probably hurt performance without a tune

an air filter is your best bet right now...the stock air box is more than capable

 

Drop in for sure...

 

What air filter would you suggest?

 

k&n!!

 

Thats what I was thinking of getting.

Thanks

 

Look into the works drop in filter too.

 

why Do you need a Tune for an Air filter, Can't you just Pull the Batt - and let the Ecu relearn the Idle and Stuff. I mean the Only differenc i see is that you would suck in warmer air, but there is a Temp sensor in the MAF, its called an IAT. I personaly believe the HP drop due to an Air cone without a tune is a myth, but i do agree that if you get a tune you will have more hp. Some one has to jut buy an aircone an dyno their car.

 

br intake filter

 

I have an HKS Suction intake for cheap. Those are good. Drop me a PM if interested.

 

go w/ a drop in

 

Trust me, I have been down this path before. As tempting as getting rid of that big box and getting a nice shiny intake with a big cone filter is, hold off. There are so many other mods that you can do first.

As mentioned before, many intakes when added will either not gain power or make you lose power without being properly tuned for it. It is not a myth, it does happen. I did not see what mods you have, if any. Start with a drop-in filter (k+n or similar), full exhaust, boost gauge, boost controller, and a reflash.

get the B/R intake and TBE with a tune and your good to go.

 

i recently installed the Apexi power intake and now i am finishing my carbon fibered Apexi Induction box. The tune is coming very soon...

However i have to say that with this intake i don't see any flactuations in Idle or running very rich situations until now. The filter is pretty impressively made, the quality is #1 and the factory BOV of my 9 sounds INSANE!!!!!! boost pressure is exactly the same as before (Defi BF) and i noticed the spool up to be a lil bit faster...

 

+1 if you dont believe us try it for yourself i tried my old rs intake off my 8 on my 9 untuned and holy cow that car got slower lol
