K&N intake or Injen??
Ok so i found a website that you can buy the K&N intake and UICP for $330 which seems like a great deal compared too the injen one that looks identical. I am however a little skeptical because I've yet to see 1 evo x with the K&N intake so i don't know how it matches up against the Injen which seems to be very popular amongst evo X's

Anyone have the K&N? or does the brand of your intake really matter that much on the dyno? thanks

I'd definitely chose the K&N over Injen, but I run neither on my car.

K&N comes with UICP or AMS which comes with a K&N filter.
