Intake piping

[FWD]

Has anyone used this one?
1997 1998 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GST/GSX TURBO Air Intake: eBay Motors (item 290453541209 end time Aug-11-10 01:49:48 PDT)

Any clearance issues?

Or should I just stick to a well-known company[DEJON] and pay a little bit more? Or if you can direct me to a good fitting intake pipe

I'm actually running a black version of that kit. The only thing I didn't like is that the mas did not fit right with the kit. I was able to rig it by using the stock filter housing. Also the filter that it comes with isn't the greatest.

If you look at my pictures youll see that it fits pretty well in there. About to install a fmic over the weekend and ill let you know how it fits.

Mine works fine, just if you are using a mid size filter it will be a tight squeeze near the fender wall.

I use it with an apexi filter instead of the one that comes with it, no fittment issues

I also have this kit, the MAS to Intake Tube Coupler was tight and the I had to get new bolts for the MAS to Filter Adapter as the factory ones did not work do to shape. I cannot tell you how much HP you will gain but, it does help response and it sounds good.

I wouldn't really recommend buying an Ebay intake unless you have some good fab skills, most of the time there is fitment issues. Just buy an FP intake and never look back, they're always selling in the classifieds for around $70 shipped.. GL

I bought one. Works great. Biggest improvement is sound . I on the otherhand do recommend buying air intakes off ebay. Vendors are overpriced and its really hard to mess up an intake. Buy it!

I also have this intake, the tube to Mas coupler is a tight fit but I wouldnt have it any other way, and I did have to use different bolts for the filter adapter, 1/4 20's(1")/washers/nylock nuts(I had them laying around). And the intake to turbo coupler is bigger than it needs to be but works. great improvement in sound and throttle response, well worth the $
The small lines that come with it are crap though, they collapse under vaccum.

So what do you need to make this fit properly? I ordered one already without knowing it wasn't a bolt up.

mine bolted up no problem. Just use your stock vacuum lines or go to advanced auto and get the same size... I had no trouble getting this to fit. Upgrading an intake is probably the easiest bolton in the world.

 

[jmatyas]

No problems here on bolt up just the tight fit issue. Little bit of force got it in there though .

nothing!


on my t25 this bolted right up....its a cheap and imho i think it is great.

when you get it though, put the 2 couplers in the microwave for like 30 seconds and then put them on the pipe right away.....thats how i got mine on...it was a tight fit.

 

[fede]

it fits good, just dont use the small lines... they are junk.

My only issue was the cupler that goes to the mass, it was a tight stretch but it will go on, as for the blue lines, I had my bcs capped off, so i just capped off the nipples on the intake as well, IMO it is well worth the $$ and does the same job as overpriced "namebrands"
