Improved Performance and Sound

The reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because the installation requires the purchase and installation of an additional corner tube to avoid hitting the rear of the fog lamp. However, I love the engine's throaty growl from the moment I install it. I also painted the air intake to match my Eclipse to give it a more custom look.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • small things

My car feels like a completely different car

I drove 92,000 miles in my 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse before adding this cold air intake. I was skeptical as the price is so cheap. My friend installed it for me with no problems that I know of. Let me just say that I can tell a big difference. My car feels like a completely different car. More responsiveness, deep, full-bodied sound when accelerating. I can't recommend it highly enough. Very nice and they received it earlier than I expected.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Goodbye! (with some cheap and easy mods)

It only took about an hour to install. Not quite suitable for Eclipse model 09-12, but still doable. The filter rubs a lot on the fog light housing so I bought an elbow pipe to keep the filter from touching it as several holes broke in my hydraulic shield after a month of driving. Everything is fine now with no problems! In general a good buy. I can confirm the increase in horsepower, the (small) increase in fuel consumption per gallon, and the SIGNIFICANT increase in your engine noise above…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Poor

2009 Eclipse GS - Air Intake

Seems to be a well built kit for the money. Installation was pretty easy except I had to pull out the factory resonator box. I found it easier to access by using a long extension with 10mm bolts and then removing the driver's side headlight and wheel arch liner. The filter itself fits but definitely interferes with the fog light housing. If the tube had been bent a little more, I don't think it would have rubbed as much. Aside from that, the resonator on top of the motor looks weird with…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Legacy

No issues best in the air intake

So I bought this for my Eclipse Gs when I had it and it was exactly what you want for a cold air intake. The inlet will recede behind the fog light housing and doesn't seem to have enough clearance so I removed the fog light. But to be honest it works like a direct intake because where the fog light used to be there is a hole that directs the air into the intake filter because it's right behind it so you can expect COLD air. Installation sucked because it's so long and one piece you can't…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Other

Strong 4/5 performance Parts & Accessories

Just pop it in my 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Pros: Noticeable increase in performance, sounds great as a beast, much lighter than a burst shot, cleans the air. lots of space under the hood, giving it a cleaner look, and it's affordable. (Refills cost $140). The Bad: The buffer bolt broke with just one hand tightening (easy to replace). An air filter is sufficient, but not without severe friction on the fog light housing, which quickly leads to damage. (Just cut mine out, don't plan on putting fog

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
