    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(wanderingpinoy)</div><div class='quotemain'><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(manybrews)</div><div class='quotemain'>has anyone actually SEEN the intake system for the eclipse?

    its nothing at all like the galant... its DUAL STAGED (actually has a secondary flapper that opens at high speed to allow more airflow. Â*it flows plenty. Â*sounds pretty good, too.</div>

    Is that like in the Eclipse GTS (butterfly valves that open up in the intake maifold to create variable width runners)?</div>

    kinda.

    its not part of the intake manifold, though. Its part of the airbox (which is rather large).

    a vacuum solenoid opens and closes a second opening on the airbox at high RPMs, which coincides with the MIVEC switchover time (I think its 4000 RPM, but dont quote me on that).
    so in essence, the airbox inlet doubles in size. works very nice, so you get the best of both worlds. Quiet normal operation, and increased airflow (and noise) when needed.

    ^^ha. I was actually looking at that on the dealer and kept wondering what was all those stuff infront of the airbox. I asked the sales guy but he quickly changed the topic and told me that you can get aftermarket CAI for it so don't worry about it.

I asked the sales guy but he quickly changed the topic and told me that you can get aftermarket CAI for it so don't worry about it. </div>The sales guy was probably thinking intake restriction. It sounds like anything aftermarket would reduce H.P. for this car. The Eclipse MIVEC intake is and extremely interesting concept. How the hell this aftermarket intake company extracted 17 H.P. to the wheels is beyond me, unless, unless it is complete and utter B.S. The only intake I heard of, that makes this much power, is Custom Engineerings intake for the Mazda 6 V6. But that comes with a tricked out airflow meter, as the stock mazda's profile was extremely conservative. I bet this intake can help with the 9g Galant V6, if it is the correct fitment. But theres no way I'm going to spend $320.00. If I need a hat and a duffle bag, I'll go to a store and at least get a Shaq or Flash something or another, Damn it!

    This Intake Will Not Work For The Galant! I spoke with Ryan At Fuji, and he informed me that the Eclipse intake use a different shaped air flow sensor. He will build one for the Galant soon!

    Im pretty sure its the same airflow sensor. Can you ask him the part number?</div>O.K. I just got of the phone with R.T. at Fuji. He wasn't to sure about the airflow sensor being any different, but he was concerned that the intake was designed for the Eclipse only, and that the airflow and fuel mapping was of course different for a car with 32 more H.P.. Basicaly he informed me that he wasn't sure how the intake was going to perform with the Galant, so anyone interested is going to take a chance. R.T. seemed like a heck of a nice guy and took his time explaining their method of producing intakes. They are probably going to develop and tune the intake specifically for the Galant in a few months anyway, but he did say we can try it out as we might get lucky and get a good gain out of it. I did mention the high price for the intake and he informed me that the price was going to drop soon as well. I told him I would wait for one designed especially for the Galant 3.8 liter. On a side note Weapon's secret intake is going to be out in a few months as well, so we will have some competition coming out for our cars in the near future.

    Hey Torque&Scoot! Just to let you know, www.worksevo.com is starting to develop products for the 9th gen! if we hassle them a little, they can begin to manufacture decent performance products for our cars!!!

    They have in mind springs, exhaust, and other suspension components. Give them a call!!!

    Whats going on Cape97, i have a quick question, were you the one that posted on the evom forums for the 05 galant mods?

    anyways, we all need to get up and tell them to start developing parts soon

    I already began by sending like 5 different e-mails so far. Once this damn Hurricane wilma passes by, then i'll begin to make phone calls to them!!!

    please keep us posted on the springs, take it easy!!! 8)

This was of course a sight that even they couldn't tolerate, so they said they will start making 75 H.P. supercharger kits A.S.A.P. to avoid this abominable act!
