WOW sorry it took my so long to respond i been on 2GS (raceman71) but my cat back the had to add 3"after the car and 12" at the tip... Also i think they sent me a GXT exhust because it went around my suspension not over it like the stock

 

Wheres a guy get a cheap *** CAI for the 2000 2.4 automatic?

 

Make your own? I see people using the stock tubing and putting a filter on the end of that. Also if you can find one on ebay for a 3g eclipse may be cheaper that way also.

 

are you tight on money right now?
if not go for som flow master exhaust and a Injen short ram intake wit a k&n filter

 

are you fixing your car back up or are you by chance getting rid of any of your parts??

Wheels, Tails, Wing??

 

Nope, Insurance bought the car. I'm keeping the wheels for my TL, I do have the black leather seats, and SS hood for sale though.

 

would one of these improve anything... or am I being to cheap thanks Rick

the part of the system that makes it the toughes to home bake a CAI is the mass air flow sensor. Its the black, oddly shapened piece in the first kit in the bottom right of the picture. most people who have gone with these low price systems will tell you to make sure to get one with a metal MAFS adapted, but it looks like this one has a plastic piece. will it make any difference?the plastic ones are supposed to break easier, but its 39 bucks...who cares if one piece breaks? you used to be able to buy the metal adapters by themselves on ebay..not sure about now.

honestly, i have an ebay cheapo intake, and all i did was add a K&n filter. im sure that the flow is no worse than the 300+ dollar name brand intakes...that one is pretty nice with the black couplers..i got blue because that was all they had..they dont really fit in with my engine bay scheme but i dont show it off much, so i dont worry about it.

in short, the full length kit will help as much as any CAI, and as for the short ram, i wouldnt spend the money, because youre still drawing in engine bay air. im sure that its better than the stock air system, but not as good as the CAI. it looks to be similar to mine, and mine puts the air filter right behind the LF tire. and yes, ive driven the car in DRIVING rains, and ive never had any issues with "hydrolock"..i think that its a myth.

 

sweet... I just read about that hydrolock... thanks for the input...

 

Got an 06 SXT with the 2.7L.
Looking for better performance.
Already fabbed a cai for it.
Now Im questioning what i can do for exhaust and how much it'll help my performance.
Its part family cruiser part weekend racer so i want too keep it low key on noise but gain power.
Any good cheap ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Smoke
