So i was wondering if ETS and other vendors sell SR intake adaptors for the Evo X, can i just go to my local autozone and pick up a KN Cone filter and swap that on instead of the box, ill be keeping the stock pipe and everything. I tried searching all over this forum for it but no results. Just wanted to know if its worth it or not.

 

Guess most 3" filters will fit without the need for an adapter..

but is it a good thing to do on an X without a tune afterwards. all i have on the car so far is a megan racing 3" catback. i just need to know if itll need a tune

 

As long as you're still leaving the stock MAF housing in-place, it shouldn't really matter..

on the other hand, without a heat shield, you might run into an issue with stumbling when the AC kicks on.

You can check out this thread for some ideas..

You are better off installing the drop in filter as opposed to just rigging a cone filter on your car. DO it right or don't do it at all. If you want to go cheap, pick up the Cob Torbo inlet and drop in filter.

 

+1
Rigging the filter to the stock maf might cause some in unwanted turbulence. Panel or Buy a proper kit.

 

I also recommend picking up the Cobb AP so you don't end up running richer with the upgraded intake. You can pick one up used for about 400 or brand knew for 500. It's really worth it. Just don't waste your time doing it the wrong way, these cars are too expensive to fix if something goes really wrong.

 

will taking out the airbox and just putting the cone filter in cause any problems with anything? i see some people saying idle problems and others saying theres no problem. just wondering because i was reading on this and planning on doing this, until i came to this thread and u guys are saying about the ac problems. i haven't done any other mods either

 

Way to bump and old thread. I think the OP was just trolling anyway.

 

thanks for the reply, u sure answered my question

and its just a month old...

 

Most of the problems come from when intakes don't have a heat shield, when the A/C fans kick on it blows all the hot air straight into the intake and causes turbulence and such. If your not going to buy an actual intake kit I would just buy a panel filter and put that in, you would be surprised the difference just a panel filter makes.

 

Do it right you are going to have issues. This isn't 17 year olds hyundia accent we don't rigg evos

 

im thinking of leaving it like this in the first post on this page.

i dont think there would be any serious problem if i leave the front end on. Atleast no one was saying of any issues in that thread

 

Seriously... Why not just get a 20-50$ panel filter if you can't afford an actual intake? I run an HKS panel filter and it works fine, I also am sitting at 350ish hp and 360ish tq.

 

soooo.... will there be a problem if its like that from my link

the cone from k&n is 45$
