in all honesty, i bought all BR stuff back before i did my research and heard what people were saying, if your going to get a BR MBC, dont get the inline one.

and i spent more on an O2 housing then i probably needed to, i bought the BR jet coated one, and its great! but i hear people all the time saying "the megan one gives you the most gain" surprising, considering its like $100.

your in jersey? so do you have to go through emmissions, and smog and inspections and all that ghey stuff? if you can somehow get around it, then there is a new O2 housing out that i would definately like to try. theres a whole thread on it, its like a divorced wastegate O2 dump. the wastegate dumps straight to atmosphere, and aparently there really isnt a negative side to doing it, just gains. its like $275. if i wasnt so lazy i would buy one myself.

I only think my Evo is fast for about 2 weeks after I do mods. I solve this by not driving my Evo everyday to work. I drive a 1990 Trans Sport to work everyday. Makes me Evo feel like a monster every weekend.

But this is the exact situation as to why people keep modding. Because the mods they have are only satisfying for so long.

You mean you noticed the difference in engine bay room right away right?

Here youre going to need this if you think you can "feel" a 35lb weight reduction right away.

God YES, I absolutely HATE that! I'm sure that this guy (OP) knows how to search, but just because he wants to discuss how he feels, that doesn't mean he should dig through outdated threads without current feedback from current members.
