I was thinking of upgrading from stock to the EvoMS Intake, but I have heard that it doesn't perform nearly as well as the stock intake. Any comments?

actually, I just installed mine today. I can say that there is definitely a different feel to the car. It feels like it pulls harder, especially with the colder weather (i live in connecticut) - the sound is a lot different too, and you can actually hear the bypass valve when you let off the throttle.

my theory is that it depends on your climate. Hot environments won't fare very well with the intake and might even suffer (hot air into the intake means more work for the IC and less power) but for colder environments it might work better. I don't think I notice the claimed 10-15 hp gain, but I do feel more throttle response and I can definitely hear the car better.

I like it, but for every one of me you will find a couple who don't favor it. There is certainly debate between the k&n replacement filter and the evo/lltek intakes. My 2 cents... and good luck with whatever you choose.

some people did testing a while ago, and found no noticeable difference from the stock...
