How Do You Install High Flow Intakes

[Adam]

Instead of screwing around with an EVO intake I went this route and I'm happy. No problems after 2.5 yrs of use and probably gives up nothing to the EVO in terms of perfomance but is probably quieter. Intake sound is a tad louder than stock though. I primarily got it because it is a servicable filter unlike the stock paper. Just go easy on the oil and the filter is a nice upgrade over the stock unit.

Isn't that the same concept as the K & N but twice as much $$$?

Yup it costs $69.99. Just higher quality than a K&N because it has a one piece frame instead of glued joints like the K&N. What does an EVO intake cost these days $400? I like the fact that it uses the stock intake system that is "cold air" only instead of the EVO intake that sucks in hot engine air despite its shield because it isn't a sealed system like the stock intake. The stock intake setup is pretty hard to beat....

"so Dante, if you are going to do it again...would you change exhaust first and then the high flow intakes? headers are probably in the near future

and what kind of intakes did you use? i have a choice between evom's or the epiq?"

I had order mine from a local company (Charolette, NC) which is a 1 day transit. After 1.5 weeks and nothing, I called to complain and that's when I got the real story. Being upset about not being told this upfront, I was going to go with another company in PA. After calling them and asking about stock on hand, I received the same story

As for the exhaust first or intake............don't know. My point was that you will get an increase in performance and sound with an exhaust system but will only get the sound with the intake.

I personally would still like to go with the exhaust setup - but am weary due to sound. I am afraid that with headers, exhaust and intake - it will be way too loud."


Ditto on concerns the sound of a full-on exhaust system. For some folks it may be just the ticket, but I am still getting used to my exhaust system with its combination of headers, 100-cell cats and high-flow muffler. It's loud, so far, too loud for my taste, especially the 2-3K resonance that kicks in while cruising at highway speeds.
