The cold air pipe section (the second pipe section from the throttle body) that has the little forked bracket that attaches to the car with that black rubber standoff piece, it needs to be flipped the other way. The purpose of the black rubber standoff piece is just that, to standoff what is being attached, and since it is rubber it is suppose to allow movement and flexibility, not to dampen as whoever in the video stated. The black rubber piece should be put on first then you put the second pipe section forked bracket on top of that. When the motor moves back and forth under load the black rubber standoff piece will allow the intake pipe to flex with it. The way it is installed in this video the forked bracket is resting down on the metal surface of the cars chassis where it can't really move as well as opposed to being on top of the rubber standoff. If there is any question or doubt in regards to proper installation of it anyone can refer to the installation instructions of any of the AEM Cold Air Intakes for the 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse on there website, and yeah I know the CAI installed in this video isn't made by AEM but it is basically identical in its design, mounting and mounting hardware.

Nice vid good to see that some people still giving life to a 3g eclipse. Couple things I would suggest for next videos, 1. The video was super long but for some reason it felt rushed. Slow the movements down but cut parts of the video that aren’t important, 2. The camera was a bit shaky sometimes but it’s not super important. Those are just my opinions but great video overall!

agreed, upon editing I was kicking myself for not breaking out the gimble haha, but all notes we will take into the next video :)

pro tip, warming up the rubber couplers/connector pieces will help it be more malleable to install.

Thank you :D That's a good tip!

Wouldn’t you need to fix the air to fuel ratio? How do you fix it so it’s at a good ratio? Or does it automatically ratio itself out ?

Good video , but I don’t want my air filter there , I want it in a more upper location.

You can look at the ram air intakes they sit higher up in the engine bay
