Aftermarket Intake System

Who else makes them besides Evo? TTP's system is no longer available due to the declining value of the USD,since it has to be ordered from overseas.

If you have one could you post

-who makes it?

-if you like it?

-where can I buy it

I had an Evo and it was good , however I did switch out the CHEAP paper cone filte with a K&N cone filter. This was changed after the SC went in.

Evo here also,
Blink.
I bought an intake from Performance Parts a few years ago that I removed when I installed the supercharger, think I have it in the garage. Dont get your hopes up but If I do have it still its yours just for shipping.

Changing out the paper cone for a k and n is a brilliant idea. Do you know what k and n part number matched up??

For you my man, I just went downstairs (no socks or shoes) to the garage and dug out the 4 year old box. Part# RF 1039 http://www.knfilterchargers.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=RF-1039

Make sure before installation and EVERY cleaning you dab the whole filter with a paper towel to remove all the extra oil. This small step is what I think has kept me from blowing a MAF.

Thank you sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar ok not really just a good friend.

Thanks for the info. I changed my filter a few weeks ago and really did not like that it was paper. I am going to get the K and N this week.

I was under the impression the EVO had a cotton filter. Can someone explain the descrepancy?

My EVO intake that I purchased almost 4 years ago came with a paper one. When in doubt call Mike at Evo.

I spoke with Mike this past week.

They use a oil based cone filter that uses 6 grams of oil.
