which do you guys perfer? Which is overall better? and why?

I searched, but didnt find what i wanted.

 

i had both

cone is better but you need a tune for it. makes your turbo and bov/dv sound alot better too

drop in is cheeper

 

thanks, thats exactly what i was looking for.

 

It really depends on what you want. I have a cone style one cause I wanted to hear my bypass valve better. At part throttle at low RPM my turbo flutters a little bit every now and then which prolly wouldnt happen with a drop in but it doesnt affect driving enough to matter and I drive the car everyday. I think a little of that is normal anyway.

 

just wait and get the whole intake hard pipe with cone filter all at once before you go get your first tune, im assuming your untuned

 

another one of those personal preferance things...

 

i actually dont have an evo yet, but will be getting one in weeks to come, and i have about 5k to spend on mods, and just trying to get a feel for what people like and what not.

 

I would recommend the cone/open element filter. The best design I have seen is the AEM intake....maintains the factory scoop, comes with a heat shield (which i have logged and maintains the air as cool as the stock airbox) & has a dry/washable filter. I have also seen about a 2 psi increase at red line over the k&n drop-in...

To each his own...

 

Where can I buy a cone filter/whole intake pipe?

Is this the whole intake pipe and cone filter?

yeh thats the whole intake + intercooler pipings

 

open air which is the cone make more power but you need a tune but safe is k & N drop in.

 

DO NOT BUY THE K&N INTAKE! Cant believe no one has said this yet.

Look at the Buschur Racing Upgrade sequences. They are a great start for upgrading and make ALOT of power for the money. Especially if you install it all yourself!
