Not sure I'll put an intake on my Box... but this DIY write up is, in one word:

NICE!

Nice job!

Where was this guide when I installed my EVO intake on Wednesday night?

The one difference with the EVO is that you use the stock air tube going to the throttle body. I'm not sure when they made that change, but they did. When I opened my box, I thought they forgot to send me some parts.

Even after unbolting the intake manifold, I still had to break the mounting tabs off to get it out. I didn't want to fight with it for too long so out came the cutters.

yea i know what u mean man, when i looked at the box and space around it iwas like damn.
but i did it actually pretty quick, just broke off parts of the little tube that the maf was sitting on and it came right out.

Great write up! I'm thinking about doing mine soon as well... and +1 on the heatshield, I think you would loose some power from the heat of the engine. Tupperware FTW! or sheet metal.

well they were all tested without the shield and showed increased power, so im not concerned about that.
but i do think that some more fab work will yield in some more cold air and repell some heat from the engine bay and protect the filter
