thanks everyone for the kind replies. Yes, the SSL is sunroof sound (infiniti sound system) and leather. I prefer the sound and leather but could care less for the sunroof. I plan on putting in a drop in replacement filter, as long as that does not void warranty.

Another crazy question...does anyone know if the replacement drop in filter will give the blow off valve its sound? I know that adding an aftermarket one will allow the BOV to be heard.

Well I know with EVOs with the stock airbox you cant hear the "swoosh" sound from the stock BOV unless you get an aftermarket intake so I was wondering if a drop in filter would have the same effect. (IE giving you that swoosh sound from the stock bov)

Not really, the filter box is mostly what insulates the sound from atmosphere.i tried running around the block w/o filter to see. however the hks mushroom foam looking filter that connects to MAS, definately changed the sound. I didn't get suction kit, just filter kit. am tottaly satisfied w/ sound now.

I don't know why you guys put up with crap like this (no offense bonestockevo8). Unfortunately it's dealerships like this that give everyone a bad name. The evo is a spectacular car and sometimes we get too excited especially after the test drive. But if any of you guys have trouble from the dealer just get up and leave.
Don't put up with dealers crap
Don't get me wrong, I've met customers that can never be satisfied and are ultimate mooches. Even though you give them a great deal they start bickering stupid things like, “The Evo you sold me has 5 miles on it I wanted Zero." Come on almost every Evo has at least 5 miles on it.
If your an upstanding and understanding customer, and realize that most companies are in business to make a profit. You should be treated like King (or Queen).

If you guys every need my help with dealing with dealerships let me know, Regardless if you’re out of state. I will tell you some of the things you need to do to get a great deal or I will get you the best deal possible myself.

Nice ride man and have fun with it. Got my wicked white evo last month and just recently broken it in with a trip to vegas. Just gotta say it's one sweet car. And Sout Coast Mitsu sucks ***. Even though they claim to be the largest Evo dealer in the US their service is not so great. The gas light was on when I hopped in. Talked to the owner and he filled it up. The worst part was that they could not find my other key. They said they will mail it to me and and I still have not received it. called them over and over and they keep giving me the runaround. Thumbs down to SC Mitsu. Try huntington beach, I heard they were good and have the second largest stock of evos in the US.
