Just like the title says.Ive looked on ebay and lancershop and seen a few of my options as far as an intake goes for me.Im still undecided so I figured why not just get a drop-in air filter and wait on a choice+save money.So where can I buy one online and whats the "best" filter to get?Just want to make sure I pick a good vendor or source.

 

For stock Turbo, just get a K&N drop in filter from www.summitracing.com

 

summit racing or just a local autoparts store

 

i have the WORKS drop-in. I am very happy with it.

 

Yea usually Id stick to K&N but with the Evo I didnt know.Its still a new animal to me with different aftermarket support.I saw that HKS and Perrin also have a drop-in.Ill see a few more responses and probably end up going with summit

 

K&N, but I hear that the WORKS filter gives the best gains (minimal)

 

KN, and summit will be the best price most likely

 

Save money and buy an open filter.

 

So a drop-in isnt even worth it? I must have read false information.I heard stock intake is fine on decent power making evos.

 

Buy my drop in. K&N just sitting here, pm me if your interested.

 

It's all confusing... I know. I have a Works filter and think it's great. I'm considering the Injen intake w/ ic pipes but I am just as confused with all of the info on here. I am almost wanting to do a before and after tune to compare the results.

You can't go wrong with the Works or K&N. The K&N is cheaper. Same thing basically. I got good service from the works website.

 

I ran a drop in K&N for about 8 months and it did decent, but right as soon as I switched to an open filter (still on the stock MAF pipe) I held nearly 2psi more at redline.

We saw the same results on 3 different cars (2 Evo VIII's and 1 Evo IX). Data logs showed my air flow to increase 1.7lb/min which would be probably about a 10hp gain, in theory.

 

Grrrrr I hate how I have to pay to play

 

Buy a HKS drop in filter, there cheaper then the K&N too. Shoot me a pm if you need one.
