Injen evolution intake?

[oceansize]

OP specifically asked about sound. This is the answer to OP's question. Video has before and after clips.

Most definitely sounds more aggressive, but I'm not sure they were reviving quite so high before the intake install.

I'll bet 50% of the comments on this airbox would go away if that didnt have their name molded into the airbox. It IS nice that it's enclosed, would be interesting to see third party dyno results, stock/Injen/Eventuri.

Something I wouldn't ever run but I get that not everyone wants to shell out for a CSL style box.

Snide comments go better when they're accurate. They're $1,500-2k, & the main reason to get a CSL replica box is for sound, not the 15hp.

If you're balking at $2k for the greatest induction of any car you'll see on the road, then I've got some bad news for you...

I simply asked if anyone has experience with this setup. Yet all I’ve gotten are snide remarks. I already know intakes do very little in the way of power. at 1500-2k$ just for the csl intake itself with no other supporting parts or mods people don’t bat an eye. I’ve seen the other post about this intake where the same people who were butt hurt about the brand back in their Honda days say the same thing about the same question with no personal experience. God forbid someone bashes a csl intake though

Injen has very poor fitment. AFE would probably fit better. K&N is absolute trash but if sound is all you care, I can personally tell you the loss in the powerband isn't really worth it. The stock airbox is easy to remove whereas those, with their poor fitment, will have to be poorly fitted again everytime you remove them. I got sick of it. The stock airbox was way better. The power loss and inconvenience lead me to removing it after a month. I went into knowing I was going to lose horsepower. It was still night and day between stock and hot air intake. Cold starts are much louder with cat warm up active. Idle is slightly quieter.

Overall I would not recommend. Cheap is not the way to go. No personal experience however, I've heard that the Eventuri intake has a sick sound. Maybe save up some more and gain horsepower with a cool sound. That's my recommendation.

I thought about theses all these hot air intakes. Honestly I’d prefer the dinan one but since that’s discontinued this seems similar in that it’s enclosed and uses the oem intake scoops.

I think people here just don’t like things that look like they were designed by Fisher Price … Probably the same reason nobody here likes BMW’s new M-car designs.

Most don’t mind the Eventuri or quality velocity stacks for example

I think there was less thought put into the eventuri intake. Looks like an auto zone cone filter with a carbon fiber cover. It lists for over a grand. And sucks in hot air aside from the Amazon prime air scoop that goes in the bumper.

The eventuri is pulling in air through a vacuum which will increase flow. It's also directed at the area where fresh air enters the area through the scoops. It's not pulling the hot air from behind it, the air entering has come from the outside. It is not on the same level as an Injen. The flow is actually optimized. We hate on these intakes and call them hot air intakes but really, what makes them so bad is their inability to flow properly. They're really only pulling in hot air at low speeds or a stand still. The scoops will feed them mostly fresh air but there is no actual design to encourage air to pass through the filter. The Eventuri uses the eventuri effect to fix that issue. It's not cheap garbage but actual engineering put into practice. K&N, injen, and AFE just copy and paste the crappy elbow and a filter design. Some cars, it works. On ours, it does not.

Don't have an eventuri, I've only ridden in cars with them, but it seems like a ton of work goes into designing their intakes.

Just one example: https://youtu.be/rHXB4ljWHf4

I’m sure the eventuri is nice. But at over a grand I’d go for a csl rep for a few hundred more. Like I said I’m my op I like the injen evo intake because it’s closed off from the heat and ises the oe scoops to directly feed outside air into the engine. At 300$ You can’t really beat the price either. I guess I’ll be everyone’s huckleberry and see what happens

I see there's been little evolution in jet's opinion on the matter lol

I had to scroll down to see what I said about this piece of trash previously 😂

You can click the post number and it will give you a direct link to my golden advice.

Cool story. You’re a legend in your own mind

Look man, we're just trying to help you out. This Injen is literally a cheap, outsourced copy of the stock unit. There is absolutely no point in defacing your engine bay for it. Spend your money on something else. The stock design is basically perfect, and I guarantee you that a lot more time, effort, and money went into it. You can beat the price by keeping the free one that came with the car.

Everyone keeps saying the same thing. yet not a single person has any personal experience with it. I’ll be the huckleberry and report back.

There's a quote for this....

[jet_dogg]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone so ardently defend a chinese part with no development behind it in order to prove what we already know in advance. You think you may have stumbled upon the holy grail of small baller intakes?

People here are just trying to save you the money and effort but feel free to get conned and burn your money as you wish. And get mad at us in the meantime for telling you otherwise.
