As many people asks about the basic mods, I've compiled a short list of positives and negatives for the "basics." Add to the list as necessary.

Exhausts:

Buschur:

+ Good quality and gains and you can pick between a quiet or loud set up. Available with 3 different mufflers.
- Heard it doesn't sound as nice as many others. The new Buschur exhausts are supposed to be better.

Buschur Racing -

Works:

+ Great quality, great gains and a lot of detail to sound level and quality. Offered with the Exhale or Steathworks mufflers..
- $$$$. Works parts are expensive but you're getting great parts and service.

WORKS-

Greddy: (Racing Titanium)

+ Lightweight and great gains.
- Loud as hell and a higher pitched sound as titanium resonates at a higher frequency than steel. $$$.

Greddy-

JIC: (DE Type 1) Same as Greddy. Also available in SUS, SUS/Ti combo.

JIC-Magic

Fujtisubo: (RM01A)

+ Great gains and very quiet.
- $$ and hard to find.

Fujitsubo -

Flash:

Dynoflash:

+ Cheap and proven gains. Also no dowtime as he does email reflash as long as you purchase the cable to connect a laptop to your ECU.
- Service can be delayed as Al is a one man show and very very busy.

Vishnu:

+ Shiv knows his stuff and expect great gains.
- $$$. One of the most expensive mail in flashes out there.

Works:

+ Conservative but the reason being they wanted to add a buffer zone for everyday reliability. Traded peak #s but they did it for a very good reason. No MBC needed as they addressed the boost issue with their own boost line w/ restrictor pill.

- Won't get the highest numbers and is $600 for the flash. Again it's for a good reason.

Filter: (Several members have confirmed no need for a tune with these filters for problem-free idle/driveability. Of course a tune will make these part put out even more power)

Buschur:
+ Open cone = more flow and better gains. Don't need a tune for your Evo to run properly. Great for those people asking about "How do I get that WHOOSH sound from my Evo?"
- You'll hear your BOV to a greater extent which can get extremely annoying.

Apex-I:
+ Best filter on the market for filtration and performance. Dry filter so no need to worry about oil screwing with your MAF sensor. Lifetime filter w/ no maintenance.
- $$$. Expensive filter. You'll hear your BOV to a greater extent which can get extremely annoying.

Works:
+ Stock look. Better flow and filtration than the K&N with no annoying sounds of the BOV.
- Drop in so you won't get the gains of the open cone and $$$. Oiled filter. Maintenance every 15K miles (washing and re-oiling of the filter).

K&N:
+ Cheap and you get some gains. Stock look and no BOV sounds.
- Oiled and filtration. Maintenance every 10K miles (washing and re-oiling of the filter). Drop in so less flow than open cone.

MBC: (With all MBCs, you'll notice boost spikes higher than your setting on days with extremely low temperatures. Just turn down the boost a bit and you're good to go)

Buschur:

+Built from a company that really knows their stuff when it comes to the Evos.
-Not enough reviews to judge.

Forge Motorsports:

+Click feature on the adjustment knob and a high quality piece. Won't be disappointed.
-Some members have had slight problems, but Forge has been very good about customer service.

Hallman:

+Another well used and known MBC with very good reviews and satisfaction.
-Haven't seen a downside yet.

Hope this helps you out. Good luck to you with your Evo mods.
