Get it tuned. See how it goes then. Could be just you. I do that all the time, thinking the car is not as fast as it used to be. You get used to the feel of it after a while.

It's probably a little bit of two things:
1. untuned intakes will almost always slow the car down. The ECU gets more air and is likely pulling timing ans/or adding fuel.
I pulled my intake off a day or so after I put it on and my power rerturned.
PLUS, you are sucking in hot air of the exhaust manifold, hotter air equals less performance.
2. You will get a little used to the acceleration surge, but you should always feel it blast off. I 've had mine since Sept 03 and never tire of the spool up.
Get it tuned, or put the stock air box backed on.

for the guy who made this thread tho, definitly get it tuned man, makes a huge difference on even a stock evo.

You're probably getting used to the power. I do suggest getting the car tuned asap.
TurboTrix made like 40hp more with their custom flash with my car, it didn't even feel like the same car.

it might be the sun auto voltage and ground system. i remember i heard someone on evom lost alot of power from the ground system. he had that and a drained battery or something and he lost alot of power

It probably all in your mind. Go test the car out: Put it on a dyno, drag strip, buy a g-tech, whatever. More than likely you are running just fine. Has your gas mileage changed? Car sound different? Notice it burning more oil than usual? If not everything is problem alright.
Also, those advans are toast. Time for new rubber.
finally, get a flash, your ECU will thank you.
