another thing the eclipse's are heavy. Yeah once I get on top of my payments I want to buy the OTTP Stage 1 and there H/E. Then work on the exhaust.
I'd keep the lightweight flywheel also, thats will gain a little bit of hp cuz of the weight. I plan on getting a header back exhaust from CIA after I get the stage 1 and h/e

he'll make more power with teh 2.5" exhaust, i bought magnaflow also, it sounds awesome!
you'll definetly beat him with those mods, the stock eclipse gt's are slow... car guy, you said he'll hit 280 with the ottp stage 1 and the big heat exchnager, or come close to it,i was told that with the same mods, except a 2.5", progressive meth, and a dual pass endplate ill hit 280's max...
No he wont... Not with a 2.8 anyway

a guy who lives not too far from me has a 2.6 i havent seen dyno results but ill ask to put this issue to bed, he has all the necessary cooling mods, if the iat2's are kept low, i dont see why it wouldnt produce more power, it certainly should produce more torque. as far as the 2.5 vs 3 inch goes, i've heard mixed opinions, but generally 2.5 is the popular choice under 300 whp, i did here from the guy that he made more power from the 2.5 than the 3 inch, anyways ill get my hands on those dyno results

Take it from someone who has installed well over 10 intakes on other members rides. I have seen plenty of intakes and PLEASE stay away from AEM. AEM is one of the worse junk intakes I have ever seen. I have seen Injen intakes and installed those as well. Injen over AEM any day. Just ask people with AEM filters what happens if any dirt or water touches the dry flow. Its the end of the story for the filter and your MAF will act up.
With that said, I'm a big fan of Injen, or I think the other good one out there is called Rebel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but Rebel has a real nice intake.
Give the guy a ******* break. This is a cobalt site and he is asking questions. Who cares if there is a sticky. The sticky does not cover everything and well over 90% of the people in it have not tried more then one type of intake.

Well, we are going to do it Thursday because of all this snow we have been getting. My brother bought a 50trim kit for his SRT-4 so we will be plenty busy working in the garage. Unlike most people here who try and give advice to others, I can honestly say I have worked with 4 different brands of intakes and installed them over the years. As for that last company I was talking about, it is not Rebel, its called Raw I think. You can always end up painting your own piping with high temp paint if you don't like the color. I think Raw offers powder coating of your choice. I have to leave for work now, but I'll talk to you later.
Most of this is true, but 2.6 pulley is way to small. I would never run anything under a 2.7 period. The M62 Blower is only meant to spin so fast. Anything under a 2.7 is just a waste imo. It will cause more heat then anything. People seem to really like 2.8 pulley with meth and all supporting mods like a H/E.

Also, I've tried the Air Box Mod w./ K&N drop in and the XTC cold air intake .... AEM has been my fav. out of the 3.

Yep a hydrohield us a must for any dryflow filter . My AEM hasn't given me any trouble with a shield on it . Without a shield your screwed thou ..... the filter acts like a tampon.
I have no problem reusing the stock piping thou, others will want to be able to show off their intake. Look at the plus's of the stock pipe ....it won't rub threw.
