Not true! a drop in will not let you hear anything more than a stock filter will. If you want sound you have to go to an open element filter like the Buschur,etc.

This is the best thread since yesevo's last! It gets even better when one considers that yesevo purchsed the intake due to its heatshield in the first place.

The stock intake flows very well, and the snorkel is NOT too small. Sucking in air from "360 degrees" does not make it magically better. Open-air filters CAN flow more air, but it is a minimal difference in power, plus it does NOT get force-fed cold air from OUTSIDE the engine bay. You are getting random air supply, most of which is from the hot engine bay, and it's all mainly for noise. There is an Evo making 582whp on the 100% stock intake, but here you are worried about making noise on your Evo that is going to have 340whp at most...

The heatshield goes on top of the filter, or you wouldn't be able to get the mounting screws in 
. And there is nothing wrong with it, i have used mine since day 1.
He's not going to waste his time giving you some long explanation because it's just a huge waste of time. You're very wrong with your theories, and like he said, odviously you don't learn anything on here, SO WHY BOTHER?

Im saying that you shouldn't worry about the size of the OEM intake inlet. As long as it's not obstructed by anything, its going to get the air it needs. Consider the size of the stock turbo's inlet in comparrison. The air is FORCED through the compressor housing not entering anywhere near atmospheric pressure like NA cars.

Oh and btw guys, i made a thread about this if you want to search for it; but the Apex'i power intake is proven to flow just as much air as the HKS RS intake, while also being the best filtering intake out there; which is more than HKS can say about their unit.
ALSO the Apex'i Power filter is specifically designed to flow in a way as to not disrupt MAF readings, you can read the whole tech article in the paperwork that comes with it... My car ran fine with this intake on before a tune, and now after tuning still works just fine...
As far as i'm concerned, it is the best intake available for the Evo... YES, better than stock
