I have been looking at cold air intakes for my 98 automatic eclipse gs, and I found that I liked the aem v2. However, the description said it was only for a manual. I want to know if I can still put it in my car, and if I can't, what is the best intake to put in my car?

What description said that? As far as i know, it should fit your car. AEM is good, but its kinda expensive. Any aftermarket intake, even from ebay will do the job. Dont spend alot of money on an intake, you should be saving for more important and costly things.

Good Luck!

Thank you. I want to put a turbo in my car, but that's so much money, and I'm poor. So I want to start with little things to make myself feel like my car is fast.

Ya, it will make you think

your car is fast. If your goal is putting a turbo in, i would say reconsider. That was kinda my initial goal but after 6 months w/ mods done, its just not worth it. I would recommed a gst or gsx, thats what i did. Once you drive that, the gs feels like nothing.

Good Luck!

I realize now that I should've bought a gsx, but I'm too attached to my car to sell it.

Oh dont worry about being attached. If you know someone who has a gsx or gst, just ask them i you can drive it. Then being attached to the gs wont matter. Actually, youll try your best to get rid of it to get the turbo eclipse. Its only the truth.

what descritpion are you looking at? all the ones i saw didn't say anything about AT or manual...

and if you look on ebay there are some intakes you can get for extremely cheaper than the AEM. not saying that if you got the mnoney it matters, but let's face it, it's just a tube with a filter. you could even get a tube off ebay and then put a K&N on the end of it for a fantastic and cheap CAI.

Also, lets not forget Home Depot intakes. lol

, hey they work.

It's my first car. When I'm rich someday (Yeah right), I'll buy a better car.

Ok, I was proud of myself when I put new windshild wipers on my car. I have no clue of how to install anything more complicated.

real_madridcf · #11 08-20-2004, 04:25 PM

Its not even about being rich. If you plan to put a turbo in your car now or later, you prob will be spending 3-4 grand just on parts, even more. Im just suggesting that you save and buy a turbo eclipse. Come on, its not gonna be more than 3 grand higher than your gs. If you look good enough, you can find good deals. I found my gst for 3,500 if you can believe, but thats because im a good ass negotiator

. Its up to you.

Good Luck!

My car was 9400, with intrest, over 10000. I saw a gsx (same year as mine) for over 16000. So I guess I assumed they were expensive. Plus my insurance rates would probably go up a bit. I already pay 2000 a year, cuz I'm high risk.

I'm a girl, what can I say.
