(This was installed before and after the Fabspeed exhaust.) This was not what I found with the EVO intake.
Leading evidence: 'Install before' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Install before' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I only put an fabspeed cold air intake,,,no exhaust mod YET!....and the sound is better, but only in the higher revs...I don't think that you will hear the difference, since you already have the exhaust changed...but I could be wrong.

The guys at my service shop seem to think that using a filter is as much as you need to do, but I LOVE the look of the Evo CAI.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This seems to be the most contentious item on the site. I watched the fabspeed video and thought he was just driving the crap out of the demo with the kit on or am just cynical. I have the fabspeed mufflers and cannot get enough of that sound and so I want more. Forget the power increase debate will my car sound better for adding the fabspeed cold air intake with fabspeed muffler already innstalled?
I had the fabspeed exhaust and was disappointed with the sound. I got the EVO intake and the GIAC flash and it made a big difference. It sounds so much better. Since I only have a few hundred miles on the exhaust I'm told it should get even better.
I don't know about all the hp gains but definitely a better sound.
I have the GHL "Loud" cans on my 01 C2. I really like the sound. I later installed the Schnell Cold Air Intake. As far as I can tell the only difference that particular part made is that it is orange.

Stuart, how true. It thought the exact same thing when I watched the video. And you're right, the intake has been quite a contentious issue. My issue is not with the notion of freer flowing; rather, I am more concerned with whether I need to swap out the entire airbox or just stick in a freer flowing filter a la K&N or BMC. The guys at my service shop seem to think that using a filter is as much as you need to do, but I LOVE the look of the Evo CAI.
nycebo,
I originally thought that a BMC filter would help with the sound as well. I installed it and after a few hundred miles found that it had very little if any change in sound. (This was installed before and after the Fabspeed exhaust.) This was not what I found with the EVO intake. Upon start up I noticed a louder, deeper sound. I had someone rev the engine while I stood by the engine and it sounds even better. (along with the louder sound, you can actually hear the car sucking in the air) I added the GIAC flash to the ECU and at wot it is like music to my ears.
Like I said in a previous post, I'm not sure about the all the hp gains that are claimed, but it definitely sounds better.
