Injen Intake and IC Pipe Kit

Hello guys,

I'm about to purchase the INJEN Intake and Pipe Kit for my car, I was just wondering can I upgrade the DV from a stock one to an aftermarket one? What are the options.

Any imput will be appreciated.

Thanks

That intake is a waste of money. Just get an open element filter and a IX DV. Or spend that money on something that will actually make power, like a MBC and a tune.

alot of people have success with the injen intake/uicp. personally i would go with a buschur cone filter and evo 9 bov. for all other questions about the injen intake, alot of answers can be found here https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/search.php

I have the injen kit and it ran fine before it went on the dyno. AMS thought the irregular design of the intake was making it difficult to tune. The car was actually bucking on the dyno, but of course, martin finally got her running strong. I am running the first version Forge divertor with the kit, but to make it work, I had to cut off a small section of the pipe on the intake, where the divertor connects.

I would also recommend getting a buschur cone filter for $80 bucks that will do the same thing and put the rest towards and exhaust, tune, etc....

You spend a lot for that kit with no better results....yea the uicp looks nice but you get no real gains for it because it follows the stock path. Only way to get a gain from an uicp is from the shorter run uicp (buschur, ams, ets, etc.) that requires a min-battery. Anything else is strictly just some blingage under the hood that you spend a lot of money for but no real purpose.

Also the IX / JDM Mr DV will work perfect for you and will have a nice woosh sound once your intake is installed if your interested in hearing that noise.

I agree with people above. I run injen intake and uicp. I got them for dirt cheap. I dont see any gain from these pipes(only sound)
When my car boosts, it sounds like I'm using nos in need for speed underground.
Sound is so high pitch compare to stock rubber intake pipe.
Got intake for 60 shipped and uicp for 50 so no complain there.

No tune and no problem so far.
New injen pipes cost about 300. Use 80 for buscher cone and use other 200+ for other parts.

I also from CT. I have Injen in intake with upper/lower pipe system. I personally like it. First, the engine bay look a little nicer. Second it does the job (when you replace the metal pipe for the ruber pipe, you'd get the true boost which create by the turbo. No expandable)
I enjoy the sucking sound when it in boost.
