the evo intake is a ripoff. Just pull your snorkle and put a K&N in. The BMC's are overpriced for the same thing.

I did mine just for the sound of it. The induction noise is fabulous now. I actually cut out the resonator as well for a deeper wail.

All this talk about failed sensors (from filter oil) and engine fires (from de-snorkeling) are internet folklore as far as I'm concerned.

One guy starts this stuff and it spreads like wildfire. Maybe there was one or two fires from a cigarette butt in the intake but that hardly makes it an actual fact.

Most of what's going on with our air boxes came from noise restricitons the factory had to meet and the necessity to prevent any kind of water intrusion into the air tract. The factory has alot more to worry about than just horsepower.
