In your opinion which intake should I get? I am looking at the aem, ams cold air, and the Perrin silicon tube with drop in filter. Or are there others I should consider? My x has 1000 miles now and is ready for some mods!

if you search evom they just did an intake test I think the perrin ended up being the best.

AEM is popular because is more stealth then the rest.. but Injen has been showing more power gains then AEM.. is your choice power or stealth

I guess if I had to pick one it would be power over stealth :mitsu:

DO you have any stats or side by side dyno charts... cause I hear the gains are equal at best

Thats not fact, thats one tuners experience. I want a magazine or a companies side by side comparison. Otherwise well leave it a your opinion. With that said I as well as MANY OTHERS OPINION goes with AEM.

If it was my car, it would be a Cosworth drop in for a stock turbo. AEM for an upgraded turbo. But I am cheap and prefer stealth. Sheesh, cant even afford a X :-P

I have the AEM for mine. But i changed the cone filter for a K n N cone instead. The AEM cone was done from the desert trip. After changing it the evo felt alive again and it accelerates a tad bit better. Well it just feels better for me. Plus I use to have a K n N typhoon intake with my VIII. Since then I kinda missed the loud suction it had.

I'm rolling a TD04-15T right now :-/ A wadded up pair of Levis stuffed in a 2" pipe for a filter wouldn't restrict that turbo. Pull the wastegate hose off and it hits 28psi and drops to 15psi at redline.
