What are your thoughts on the matter. I know the Spp is less expensive, but is the Evo worth the extra cash?

If keeping your stock turbo/IC crossover pipe is a concern, Evo... if not SPP.

Default Paul, can you explain a little further? I know you have the evo....

does the stock smic remain or is it removed with both kits?

Default the smic is removed eitherway

so that is not much of an issue. Both the SPP and EVO have a 2" core thickness so it just depends if you think one is worth $400 more than the other...

Oh and if you get the SPP you get the $99 special on the EFK, which is what i did.

Default stock SMIC is removed in both cases... the intercooler piping will plumb into the stock

smic pipe location connecting to the throttle body using the stock or samco throttle body hose.

Evo is $995 right now. So you dont think the Evo has a $250 advantage?
