What one gives you the most power gains. Are all of them very close to each other. What one has the best sound then.

what the hell does the breather do???
There are 2 types of engines CCTA(ultra low emission) and CBFA(super ultra low emission). The CBFA has a 3rd oxygen sensor and that is what the little breather filter is necessary. If you have a CCTA engine, you don't need the secondary filter.

easy way to tell if you have CBFA or CCTA

Same here. I`ll also add the filter. I notice a tube coming out of the button of the airbox and wonder what it was. I`ll be adding the filter tomorrow.

I also post some pictures of the intake. For $40 you cannot beat it. It is the same as the BSH intake for 1/5 of the price. I added an extra 90 degree pipe and now the intake is further from the engine. The sound is intoxicating. You can hear the filter every time you accelerate and the DV valve is is a lot more noticeable.

Will follow up tomorrow.

Just ordered a BSH stage I and II from DBC performance. Got an excellent deal on it, so I will be happy to see when it arrives this/next week :happyanim:
Originally i was thinking of going with EVOMS intake (i like teh powerful soundz), but it is only $50 less than the full BSH system and doesnt include a stage II pipe.
now i'm just going to be really anxious for a week haha :burnrubber:

On sale for 269! Quite interested, but I don't like the fact that it doesn't have a heat shield.

it does have a heat shield. if you look at all the pictures it may be hard to pick out because of the angles and the fact that it is black. but it provides a shield from the battery to the ram-air tube (they re-use the stock hydro lock compartment to funnel air down towards their filter)

I would have gone with this system (it sounds way more throaty than most systems) were it not for the fact that it doesn't offer a stage II pipe yet (Ian @ EVOMS told me it'd be about 6 weeks until it hits the market) and the odd way they kept the stock intake tube.
