BEST intakes for the Evo X

[Looney Tuning]

I am going to keep this short and sweet. Please keep the drama out of this thread. I have tested and logged more intakes on the Evo X than I could count. The best ones, ie, the ones that do NOT drift your fuel trims and mess up your AFR are as follows:

1. Bardabe intake, designed by Juan Vargas and tested by me. Comes with an UICP. We tested the fruck out of this intake and made sure that the trims stay within a narrow +/-5% band. You can simply put this intake on the car and drive. No CEL, no drama, no widely swinging AFR. And yes changing fuel trims feed in to the AFR. Badly set trims affect your gas mileage.

2. Injen intake, came before the Bardabe intake and was almost the only one available that does not drift your trims. Comes with an UICP and a heatshield. The trims are steady at +7%. Tested multiple times by me. It is PnP. No fuss, no muss.

3. K&N Typhoon Intake. The latest one that I tested for MotoIQ. Very well designed with an UICP and a heatshield. Keeps the trims at +7%. Just install and drive.

All the other intakes that I have tested mess the fuel trims and hence your mileage and your AFR. They require MAF/Latency tuning to get them right. These are the ONLY intakes I recommend for the Evo X. I will kiss your feet when you bring your car to me with one of these intakesÂ*

Haven't folks seen great results by switching out to the ETS big intake pipe, over the ones you've mentioned?
Any results that you might of logged in the past?

This is total crap! BAN this Hater! I have an AEM.....well, it's in a box somewhere in the garage, but it's freakin AWESOME!!! lol But the I guess the awesome sauce stealthy black Bardabe intake that's currently installed in the Evo is aight...Â* Â*

I always used K&N on my previous cars, as well as on my wife's XB and drop-in's on my families.

I have a BNIB AEM and have an Injen with UICP installed on my X.

I like the Injen because of the following reasons:

I have used a pre-filter to get the bigger particles out as well as make it water repelant.
I like the heatshield
Pending CARB for 2010 (I think thats the only CARB legal in the list)
Cobb Access port has an of the shelf map for it.

I have the K&N Typhoon on my X with Injen UICP

I'm guessing the AMS Short Ram Intake messes with the AFR? I'm planning to get one and get tuned immediately, but I have no idea whether MAF / Latency tuning is included in a professional tune or not. Do they do it normally in one?

For which years of the Evo X. I heard the 08's and some 09's dont need a tune. BUT 10 and up do because Mitsubishi leaned them out for gas milage. I have a 2013 will these be ok?
