why go with injen when aem's is alot less pipe, more direct, and has the dry flow...i understand the visual appeal and also the part of the aem piping that thins out (above battery) to let the hood actually close down, but does anyone have a video or sound clip with aem installed on 09?

does the injen's filter sit lower than aems?

i only have a sri cuz of my towns weather, salt lakes a *****, once i move to houston (uti) im goin cai

1. Any 2.25”(internal diameter) Exhaust axle back upgrade (FYI: exhaust products vary in effectiveness because of design and materials used)
I personally prefer my own custom exhaust, but there is a chance that the original manufacturer may release this exhaust configuration in both dual and single tip configurations.

2. INJEN CAI or AEM CAI INTAKE variant
3. RRM Header 4 – 1
4. Not yet selected
5. Not yet selected

Currently evaluating to add to the list above

RRM V2 SRI
GREDDY 2.50” Exhaust (Version 2 exhaust (the one that doesn’t roast your bumper  )
K/N SRI
K/N Drop in filter

Excellent review evo soul! Just curious if you are ever going to review the RRM products such as piggy back, timing box and the light crank pully

thank you for the kind words... RRM stuff I have gotten my hands on here and there. On a couple of track days I was able to ride shot gun with a few local car club guys and capture some data via my scan tool (real time). So it was nice to see the net effect of RRM's Piggyback and the plug and play timing module.

Unfortunately with everything going on around me I find it hard to lobby Mitsubishi, review hardware, help administrate over the local club and write a book. trying to consolidate everything a bit. Also considering opening a shop. Girlfriend is trying to talk me out of it, but so far everyone pushing me to do it, are winning

I will keep you guys posted when we have our next round of Dyno Testing, Mobil 1 has approved the latest around. So they should get the credit for letting all this happen
