Let it breath...
Spent the weekend installing 1. evo intake; 2. chinese headers/ebay and 3. desknorkled as well as did front/rear stress bars, stainless brake lines and pagid orange pads in prep for a weekend at Willow Springs coming up... as others noted, the evo intake is a major pain in the a** and my mechanic and i did actually have to lower the engine a little to get the old intake out. we also had to fabricate some pipe to get it to fit properly as the pipe it came with was too short (even though nobody else has mentioned this issue). We moved the 02 sensor behind the 2nd cat (as the 1st cat has now been removed) and got no CEL and car ran smoothly after the computer figured out what was going on.
Anyway, combined with the PSE already on the car, the car sounds great, not much louder below 3000 rpm, little more raspy for sure, but from 3500 onward, it literally screams... low end butt dyno seems not improved, or maybe even worse, however mid to high end is like a banshee! After I do my softtronic "flash" this week, I'll try and do a dyno...
