Why Upgrade from Your Factory Air Box?

Your Eclipse left the factory with performance potential locked behind a restrictive air intake system. Here's what you gain when you break free from those limitations:

More Power Where You Need It

The factory air box prioritizes quiet operation over performance. This performance intake reverses those priorities, feeding your engine the massive volumes of cool, dense air it craves. The result? Noticeable gains in horsepower and torque that translate to faster acceleration and stronger passing power on the highway.

Sharper Acceleration Response

Eliminate the lag between pressing the throttle and feeling your Eclipse surge forward. By removing intake restrictions, your engine responds instantly to throttle input, making every drive more engaging and confidence-inspiring.

Better Fuel Efficiency

When your engine breathes easier, it works more efficiently. Many drivers report improved fuel economy, especially during highway cruising, as their engine no longer struggles to draw in adequate air.

The Sound of Performance

One of the most satisfying aspects of this upgrade is the enhanced engine note. You'll hear a deeper, more aggressive tone during acceleration—a constant reminder that your Eclipse means business. It's not obnoxiously loud, but it's definitely present, adding to the overall driving excitement.

Engine Bay Appeal

The polished aluminum construction looks as good as it performs, transforming your engine bay with a professional, race-inspired appearance that showcases your commitment to performance.

Long-Term Value

Unlike disposable factory filters that need replacement every 15,000-30,000 miles, this washable filter lasts the life of your vehicle. Simply clean and re-oil it every 50,000 miles to maintain peak performance—saving money while reducing waste.

Simple Installation Process

You don't need to be a professional mechanic to install this system. The process is straightforward:

  1. Gather Your Tools: You'll need basic screwdrivers and socket wrenches—tools most enthusiasts already own
  2. Remove Factory Components: Disconnect the battery, then remove your restrictive factory air box and intake tube
  3. Install New System: Follow the included instructions to mount your new intake system (many customers find helpful installation videos on YouTube)
  4. Reset Your ECU: Disconnect your battery terminal for a few seconds, allowing your engine computer to recognize and adapt to the increased airflow
  5. Enjoy the Results: Start your Eclipse and experience the immediate difference in power, sound, and responsiveness

Most customers complete installation in under an hour, even without prior experience.

Mechanic’s Pro Tip (The "Gotcha"):
The 3G Eclipse 3.0L (6G72) utilizes a sensitive Karman-Vortex Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor assembly housed in a cast plastic casing. Do not drop, bang, or spray harsh solvent cleaners into the internal honeycomb grid or sensor mirror. When unbolting the MAF housing from the factory airbox, support the weight of the sensor directly so you do not snap the brittle factory plastic mounting ears.

Phase 1: Removing the Factory Part

  1. Disconnect the Battery: Always start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal using a 10mm open-end wrench. This resets fuel trims and prevents accidental short circuits or check engine lights on your 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse 3.0L.
  2. Unplug the MAF & Vacuum Lines: Depress the locking clip and disconnect the factory MAF sensor harness plug. Carefully detach the crankcase breather hose from the OEM rubber intake tube using pliers to slide the tension clamp back. Inspect the factory vacuum hose for dry-rot cracking.
  3. Remove the Upper Intake Arm: Use a flathead screwdriver or 8mm nut driver to loosen the hose clamp securing the stock rubber intake duct to the 6G72 throttle body. Loosen the clamp at the airbox side and lift the accordion duct out of the engine bay.
  4. Unbolt the Factory Airbox & MAF: Use a 10mm socket and extension to remove the mounting bolts securing the OEM air filter box to the inner fender apron. Release the four steel clips holding the upper lid. Unbolt the cast MAF housing from the airbox base using a 10mm socket and set the sensor safely on a clean shop rag.
  5. Drop the Lower Resonator (Cold Air Conversion): Turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Use a plastic trim panel popper and a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the inner fender liner retaining clips on the driver’s side wheel well. Pull back the splash shield and remove the two 12mm bolts holding the factory lower intake resonator tank inside the fender well cavity, then drop the resonator out.

Phase 2: Installing the Cold Air Intake

  1. Assemble the MAF Adapter Plate: Align the provided MAF adapter flange with your factory Mitsubishi Karman-Vortex MAF housing. Ensure the rubber gasket is seated cleanly between the two surfaces, then torque the included hardware evenly using a 10mm socket and wrench until snug.
  2. Mount the Intake Piping: Install the silicone transition coupler onto the 3.0L throttle body and secure it loosely with an 8mm nut driver. Route the upper intake pipe into the coupler, then connect the secondary pipe down through the fender opening hole into the inner wheel well. Secure the mounting bracket to the chassis grounding point or factory airbox boss using a 10mm bolt and rubber isolation mount.
  3. Reattach MAF and Conical Filter: Mate the MAF sensor assembly between the intake pipes or at the designated coupler junction according to your kit layout. Reach into the wheel well cavity, slip the high-flow conical air filter onto the end of the lower pipe, and tighten the clamp with an 8mm nut driver. Re-fasten the inner fender splash shield using the plastic trim panel popper and clips.
  4. Re-plumb Breather & Sensor: Reconnect the factory MAF wiring harness firmly until it clicks locked. Attach the supplied silicone vacuum line between the intake pipe nipple and the front valve cover breather port, securing it with hose clamps.
  5. ECU Idle Relearn Procedure: Double-check all clamp tightness with your 8mm nut driver, then reconnect the negative battery terminal using a 10mm wrench. Start the engine, but do not touch the gas pedal for at least 20 to 30 seconds. Allow the 6G72 ECU and Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to auto-calibrate and establish a smooth baseline idle before taking the car for a test drive.
