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.

RE: ebay intake
It was for a 3G. I have an Injen now, and it fits perfect. Where did you get your Injen from? If you got it from ebay, I will bet that its not a real Injen. I've seen pictures of some ebay intakes with the Injen sticker on the piping.
i, got that one straight from injen, from what i, heard theres a missed calculation of angle set up. and this systems are applied to most 00' mod. eclipse. but the 01 up mods. systems has been corrected. ( this is due to the fact that, injen offered the same systems for V6 and 4 cyl).

RE: ebay intake
I don't think they messed up, they were just taking advantage of a guy who didn't really know much about what he wanted. there are two guys there with very nice GSTs, and the guy that runs the place has a very nice Evo. they win at NOPI every year and most of the time, they know what they are talking about. but now that I have learned, I haven't been back there.

well they didn't totally lose me as a customer until i went to buy the GReddy Evo II exhaust. they wanted to charge $800 for the exhaust. i ended up getting it from $500 from NOPI and i haven't been back to that shop

Just like I always say RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH!!! If you don't bother comparing and searching for the best prices then you'll ALWAYS overpay at least a little bit. You'll save time and $ in the long run looking at all your options before buying.
