i drive a 92 1gen n/t eclipse and i was curious if i get a cheap 3" intake system off ebay and put a universal k&n filter on to it, would it work, and were would i hook up the mass air flow sensor? any ideas would be appreciated

stay away from the ebay style intakes

 

what if i just use the pipe and put a k&n filter on it?

 

most likely the pipes wont fit or you will be missing parts. also the pipes are smaller than the name brand intakes.

 

but the patrick guy on here said that he did in on the intrepid he has pics of and it worked out good, where would i hook up the mass air flow sensor?

 

most of the time, it will not work out. but there are sometimes when it does. i know a couples of guys that bought an ebay intake for their 3G and it worked out fine. but i also know about 50 guys that bought the ebay intake and it didnt work out. I being one of them where it didn't work out(before i decided to learn about cars)

 

what happened???[:-]

 

back before i started learning about my car, i went to a 'performance shop' in town and told them I wanted an intake. well they gave me a 'R Racing' intake or something like that. well, after opening the box, it had no MAS adapter. so i was unable to hookup my MAS. next thing i noticed after installing it, the mounting holes were about 5 inches off from where they were suppose to be. then, i noticed that the piping would rub the battery. after about a week of driving(without MAS, horrible gas mileage), the battery had almost rubbed a hole completely through the piping. so i took off the intake, put on an Injen, and decided that I would start learning about my car before i did anything else to it.

 

that doesnt sound like a bad intake.. that sounds like the wrong intake

 

I bought an intake off of ebay it works but it doesnt fit very well. Its on but the rubber adapters had to be streched a little and i had to find bigger hose clamps.
