I have a 2010 Evo X MR. Got my car tuned the other day. I went ahead and purchased the following-
4" FMIC
RRE Hard Intercooler Pipes (UICP & LICP)
ETS Cold Air Intake
ETS High Flow Cat
ETS Quiet Catback Exhaust
Stock Downpipe
Stock Blow Off Valve

After my tune the car put down 320/325.
I got tuned by Jon "Baka" Drenas of 5150 racing.

I wanted to keep my modifications simple. Nothing crazy. Not worried about high horsepower numbers. The SST is smooth as ever before and I can feel the torque difference.

I have no desire to lower the car. My next mod will be 18/8.5 +25 Volk CE28s in Formula Silver

I was going to Purchase both ETS Evo X Packages but I already had upgraded FMIC, UICP & LICP from the previous owner. ETS hands down the best stuff!!!

ETS has great products and awesome customer service! I'd first figure out what you want your MR setup to be. How do you want it to function for you?

I suggest you get the car, learn how to drive it and respect it and then maybe start on your breathing mods and tune.

We could always do the exhaust package w/ intake. That's not a problem

Whatever you do, please don't skimp out on the exhaust. Nothing is more tacky than a nice car that sounds like a lawnmower.

2 weeks! That's cake, I have one just delivered, but I don't return till July. I'm dying. Take time with mods, enjoy the car as is first. No issues finding how to mod, these guys have it down to a science. Time is near!

i'd honestly just drive the car for a while, stay off the forums and keep your mind on the car alone for a bit, get a completely un-biased decision for yourself on what you think needs to be replaced/better, and then go from there.
and once you have decided on what you think needs to be done, and have looked through forums or whatever for info on which company you want to use, don't be afraid to talk to them directly and use that customer service, and obviously the forums are always here to prevent bad mods lol
