Evo filters are the same as 2G filters.
Please, I was hoping to keep this thread actually informative. If anyone has facts or experience to bring forth, excellent. But please don't let this get cluttered.
Now to those who just "think" that they won't flow enough, here is the link I found my info off. People with EXPERIENCE using them. JP formerly of Shearer apparently ran this filter for 2 years without issue, as well as a few others.

Also, here's a couple other vehicles that use this filter:
-Saab 9-2x
-Some RX7's
-RX-8
-350Z
So apparently it's good enough for some other performance vehicles. Not sure if that means much.
