If your thinking AMS, get the AQ Motorsports intake instead. Same design, better finish and comes with all the needed hoses, vac lines and cheaper too.
$229

Pic taken from BMWTechs install thread coz it shows all the parts the best
and here is mine installed on my my11 MR - no idle problems or drivability problems. Finish is great and so was fitment. 1 piece design, bov relocation.

AFE* (also need a silicon turbo inlet pipe)
K&N* (includes a matching UICP)
Cobb (also need a silicon turbo inlet pipe)
ETS
Those are the intakes I recommend for stock/small stockframe turbo X's (listed in the order I like them). They all utilize the stock MAF housing and two* of the four have very nice heatshields that take advantage of the stock snorkel.

I have the Cobb Accessport here, just waiting to get my DP/TP installed so I can run the stg 2 map.
i just installed the ETs intake last friday, and i was impressed. really big K&N air filter and from having bought the AMS intake before on my previous Evo, I would pick ETS every time. I got mine in the Reg Stainless finish and I love it.

The ETS Mitsubishi Evolution X Intake includes a 5.0" velocity stack making it the largest intake on the market. This intake has been proven to gain over 56whp when used with a manual boost controller at 22psi.
We also use a factory MAF housing which requires zero rescaling compared to the other intakes on the market that need a custom tune to run.
Thanks Guys!
Any questions, let me know!

regarding the stock tune question:
I ran ETS Intake, ETS Catback and ETS test pipe with 300 cell HFC for months on the stock tune. No codes, lots of torque, no babying. I baselined dyno'ed with those mods and after tune got another 80lbs of torque.

I just installed the ETS intake and UICP last weekend and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. I rarely find pictures of the brushed stainless steel piping, so I thought I'd share.
