hi guys! im totally new to EVO and i have some question, hopefully you guys can be able to help me.
im planning to get an intake with the cobb stage 1, i was wondering which intake would be the best with it?
im looking for an intake that have the deep nice intake sound and some gains tho, do you guys have any idea?
so i heard that if i get away of the stock air box, i can hear the turbo spool and the BOV? is this true?
thanks
Nick

 

yes its true and cai or any intake isnt gonna get that much of a gain without a tune. if you want the cool sound of the BOV, then by all means go ahead

 

If you are gonna use the Cobb Stage 1 maps, it's probably best to get an intake that Cobb has already tested and has a map out for (AEM, AMS, and Cobb).

And as for the turbo spool and bov sound, yes you will hear it more with an open filter set up.

 

i was thinking to get the AEM or the AMS cold air one, which one is better?
also the AEM looks like there is still a air box, will i hear the turbo spool and bov sound more?
thanks

 

1) i would ask cobb what intakes are "approved" for their stage 1 tune. if you're getting tuned on a dyno (custom tune), any intake will be fine.

2) go with the big companies like aem, injen, buschur, ets, ams, ultimate racing, harman motive. ultimate racing has the cheapest at $150 (UR intake)

3) yes, you will hear more turbo spool and the stock BPV if you go with an intake. get an upper intercooler pipe as well, good gains there.

 

does AMS even make a intake ? i thought they just carried a hand full of brands.

 

???? we make just about anything and everything for an EVO.

yes, i think im going to use the cobb stage 1 maps, and im thinking the AEMs, but i see the AEM from the picture, it looks like it has an air box with it, so i won't be able to hear the the turbo spool and bov sound?
thanks alot!

 

thanks! but will the upper intercooler pipe mess up the cobb stage 1 map?

 

That I'm not 100% sure cuz I've never actually heard what the AEM intake sounds like. I would think it's not nearly as loud as something with just an open filter. Try searching for a video on youtube, that might give you a better idea.

 

couldn't find any video on youtube....
how come use open filter can hear more of the BOV sound?
and i see the ams intake relocate the BOV, why is that? will it be better?
im sorry for asking so many question, im just very new to turbo car.
thanks

 

i'm not sure. why don't you just get a custom tune? that way you won't have to worry about if the intake and UICP will affect the tune, because you'll be tuned for it. and you'll get more power than a generic off-the-shelf map.

 

because the cobb is much easlier for us to do and also cheaper? and i don't know where which tuner is good.

 

well where do you live? that way we could offer a suggestion for a tuner in your area.

 

i live in Walnut, CA91789 , thanks alot!
