It would be interesting to see the Dyno tests using these intake.

I have the K&N ( Actually that install picture looks like my car when it was first installed) , either way I have no complaints as far as the intake goes.

There is an issue and you might run into this with others that don't have a blow off vale or recirculating valve relocated if you go for another strut bar. The fitment with a PW:JDM bar with stock recirc valve taps the bar at around100 mph/ 4k rpm, also over bumps but we should all be used to rattling over bumps by now. An Agency Power BOV fits fine in full recirc, but wont if you attach the horn for 50/50 or 100% VTA. A piece of adhesive foam under the bar at that point solves the rattling issue. I have hard BOV piping as well so if stock you might be able to fit it better.

I cant do a real cold air intake as I live in Jersey and we have some flooding issues by the shore, however If I were to get any other short ram, I would still make sure it had heat sheild and utilized the stock air funnel , but that is my take on it. Hope I helped with the info.

What was the real power contribution of this admission?
Do you have any Dyno sheet before installation and another after installing the intake ?

If the question was directed at my post ,( it wasn't quoted). The OP asked for advise on intakes. I have a K&N and I like it, so by not using any of other intakes ( I had a AEM in my Mazda but that doesn't count) . I simply gave the OP my opinion, I have and I like it.
As far as any Dyno sheet NO, I could find the K&N marketing sheet but I don't believe any of marketing's numbers on such things. I can only state that it is much better than stock and I am happy with it.

i have heard some of the intakes make the bov louder. any idea which ones do and which ones dont?

I refer to your message but also to any others.
I do not deny that it is better now.
Want to know which are real numbers.
Does anyone have a Dyno sheet for a stock EVO X?

Here is a Link to the K&N that has stock and their filter. The numbers seem low to me and I don't buy marketing numbers either way.

You could use this along with any other intake sheet but I would imagine they also include a stock run as well, although they might add down pipe, remove the cat and have a nice exhaust , so read the fine print.

You will always hear the Air Suck aspect of the intake regardless, as far as purge if you were doing 100% VTA then it wouldn't matter, I you were doing 50/50 then yes you do hear it, but it was more flutter with my AP BOV( but sound was coming out of intake, probably self cleans the filter a bit as well, LOL )but thats why I went back to stock diverter valve, I don't want any flutter. Even at full recirc , I heard it through my intake, so the BOV depending on your setup might make the intake louder on the purge but I don't think the intake makes the BOV any louder.
If you are just concerned about sound any Intake will make more and cooler sounds then the box.

Not true. The MAF only gets covered in oil if the filter was over-oiled to begin with. Even if it does get covered with oil & dirt, just clean the MAF with electronics cleaner.

Know this isnt really going to help the OP but since this is a thread about devoted solely to EVO X intakes i thought i would share. i am running a custom intake by AMS. they created one for me that did not have the DV return one it.



i run a blow through setup with a VTA BOV so no need for the return in the intake.

K & N is a respectable company, no one questioned it.
But everybody knows that advertising is the mother of commerce.
I do not want to take into account what the producer said, I prefer the results of a customer.
Cotton or foam filters and oil are criticized because they are dangerous.
Can I generate failures.
Air flow meter can be damaged or go confused.
The truth is that once wet the filter is good to start a car accelerate and then remove the sensor and clean it with brake cleaner spray.
Refit and the result is perfect.
