Injen Intake & Pipe
Hello Everyone --- Does anyone have a review possitive or negative regarding the Injen Intake and Upper pipe?
I had their CAI on my Eclipse and V6 Galant it was pretty good...
But the EVO has so many more choices. Please help...

The gains are not worth the $400 or however much you'd spend. The stock piping and stock airbox don't need to be upgraded.

i have it, and i really like it. i didnt pay as much as warrtalon suggests, but it wasnt cheap either. check out my signature and have a look at the pics of my car. these were taken the day of the install. sound is very nice out of the injen, and the stock bov is quite noticeable with the new intake.
if you get the injen, you WILL need to either adjust it once it is on or notch the black piece on the underside of the hood so it wont rub against it.

i understand the stock box is good. but it just seems hard for me to believe that an aftermarket intake wont help at all on these cars, but it will on most cars. i know that it will take a tune to see any results from an intake, but after a tune i would think that it would show some results.
the reason i went with an intake was so i could eventually upgrade the bov to be able to hear it and NOT have to run VTA ( i have read MANY of your posts warrtalon, so i know that you dont like VTA and i trust your opinion on this, along with malibu jack and others )

i was actually thinking about getting an injen intake as well because i can keep the stock battery. i dont want to get no mini battery since i have a sick *** sound system in my car. but yea..any other known upper ic pipes that work with the stock battery?

I sell the injens for around 370 shipped and I def 100% noticed an improvement over stock when I installed it. I also think a car making over 350 whp would definitely see and improvement from a stock airbox and paper filter. I'm making around 150 more whp then stock, I think the 2.5" upper pipe was a good choice over the 2.25" stock upper pipe and braded hoses

I bought mine used for way less than the prices posted here. It's a great system. Made good power, after the reflash and makes the stock bov sound so evil.
The stock system makes good power, but there's no doubt that aftermarket ones like the Injen offers performance also, and not just looks.

Other $400 mods:
1) Custom flash = 20-40whp easily
2) 3" cat-back = 20whp ($600 for TBE = 40whp)
3) Alky injection = 30-40whp (along with increased boost that it allows)
Or, spend another $200 on cams for 30-40whp...
If and when you are overruning the stock MAF and/or are pushing major boost through an upgraded turbo, you don't need something like the Injen...

A lot of places suggest before getting a flash you should upgrade to a short ram intake... I was looking at the buschur but it also seemed like a lot for just a pipe and a filter $250? The injen is around $400 shipped but you also get the upper ic pipe... Pretty goos deal don't you think?
