hey guys.. i have a final edition, canadian version, introduced myself in newbie thread..
i am on bolt ons .. Turbo back (ets DP recicirc., ets HFC, magnaflow catback), UICP, GS 3port, Depo 3.5 FMIC, and stock Air box with AFE HFF..
so i installed injen evolution intake.. looks clean but was a bit of pain..






pros and cons IMO
pros:
-true cold air intake
-fits like stock box and can fit stock boost controller
same design with aem but snorkel is extended to bumper..
-aesthetics.. looks good and clean to me
-checking efficiency of filter has that gauge on top for maintenance reminder.. the gauge has small hose connected to the air filter itself inside..
-straightforward install..
- tuner adjusted my tune.. (from stock box with afe highflow filter) flows better than stock
cons:
-you have to remove bumper for install
-you have to cut a 1/4 pc. of your radiator shroud (where stock snorkle plastic was resting)
-you have to cut 1.5x2in on the bracket where your fog light connector is resting in the middle not affecting stock mounting...
-if you want to reach something where the airbox is resting you are sol because you need to remove bumper.. however you can disconnect the piping and the rear of the box (rear of box is where the con filter is attached) then you can have a room to play with and if you also loosen the turbo inlet coupler..
heres the hidden part.. top of snorkel and the bracket where fog light connector was resting.. those 2 screw holes are for optional rain guards..

Nice write up. I've been flirting with the idea of purchasing this intake for my GSR but was unable to find much info on it until now.
