After way too many hours of CAD, test fitting and reworking details, I finally finished my XXL intake system for the Evo 7/8/9 platform.

The main idea was pretty simple:

Use the space in the engine bay properly instead of being limited by the typical small airbox designs.

So I built a system that:

\- runs a large diameter intake all the way from the airbox to the turbo

\- integrates a properly sized airbox instead of just a filter in the bay

\- keeps OEM-like fitment (no weird angles or forced routing)

\- still works with factory mounting points

Biggest challenge was honestly packaging everything cleanly without it looking like a random aftermarket solution.

It ended up fitting way more “factory” than expected – which was exactly the goal.

Curious what you guys think – especially compared to typical intake setups for these cars.
