I order the HKS Racing Suction kit but it has been 5 weeks and I don't want to wait anymore. I am trying to decide between the Buschur intake, Apexi Power intake, or the Perrin intake.

 

When i got a intake i got a injen it come with a upic pipeing it might come with a lower now to. Worked great and did free up the power it needed to best thing about it the cost was a few bucks less then hks setup or a few bucks higher i know it was around the same price.

 

E.T.S. ftw

 

i just got the buschur racing air filter kit and it looks good i'm going to install it this weekend so i will let you know how it is. the reason i went w/ it is becuase i heard the car will still run fine w/out stalling issues w/ just the filter kit.

 

My Apexi is awesome. Looks great, sounds great, easy install, great filtration, zero maintenance, what's not to like.

 

Hey man, is that the Apexi Power Intake? Do you need a tune to run it? When you installed it did you get any driveability issues?

 

i run the apexi power intake on my 05 and had no problems before i got a tune. I read a thread on here somewhere where they compared and tested a few of the more popular intakes and the apexi was a better all around filter to go with. (best filtration, best power gains) i believe the hks was one of the worst actually.

deffinetly have to agree with hikaru on his post

 

do some reading here: http://www.daliracing.com/v666-5/inf...uction_kit.cfm

 

If it were me, I'd only buy the part from an Evo-specific vendor who's tested it on hundreds and hundreds of cars just like ours. Given your choices, Buschur's intake is the only option.

 

Buschur's intake was my second option and i almost went with it also but i was given a smoking deal on the apexi from a vender on here so i thats why i went with that h

 

iunno about the 8s, but im still waiting on tuners to tune the X. Some brands use the stock MAF and others done. Some tuners can work with only the stock MAF. So do some research and good luck finding a good intake!

 

quick question;not ment to thread jack

but.i read that when you put a open air filter on,it will cause your car to run rich.Well,a buddy of mine told me it would run lean

my theory:
more air suction means more gas,meaning richer

his theory:
more air equals less gas to compensate,meaning leaner


which is correct?

 

I believe its leaner PJ. I think I read it somewhere.

 

Depends on the intake really.

The HKS suction for example doesn't really have a linear flow line. I'll hazard a guess that it vortexes around in the pipe. Anyways the HKS makes the MAF think its getting alot more air than its really getting at higher RPM's which is pretty difficult to tune since it tends to max out the MAF sensor even at pretty reasonable boost.

Once you max out the sensor you are more or less just guessing what the car is really getting for air.
