What kind of Intakes are those you have in your car. I am thinking of making for myself.

The hardest or easiest part of the install depending on how you do it is the removal of the existing intake. Hardest if you want to keep it intact. Easiest if you just cut or hack it out. The rest of it is pretty easy. Be prepared for a code or two as sometimes the oil on the filter will mess up the mass airflow sensor.

My 2 Cents.

Get a drop in BMC filter. The evo intake will take out you MAF sensor, too much oil. Yes you can clean the sensor if this happens or you may have to replace it. The evo intake sounds cool but I feel there was no large difference in power. Desnork the car and slide out your old filter and slide in a bmc.

Just my 2 Cents.

The EVO filter does not have oil. It is just a cone filter, larger tubing and bigger airbox.

The EVO cone filter most definately does have oil. It is the oil that helps trap smaller particles. Mine came with instructions on cleaning and reapplying the oil. I do not remember in it was a K&N cone filter or a look a like but its basically the same thing.

The instructions say nothing of oil. The cone filter looks like a normal filter.

Do you think you have an older version? Now I am really confused.
