I have 2001 GTZ and I think it doesn't have this filter installed. It looks like that:

you just need a tray, filter and some screws to get it installed. i think the dealer has a kit for like $50 but don't quote me on that.
now is it worth it, its up to you. mitsubishi deleted it because people were getting poor peformance from the ac because they weren't changing the filters. if you're not gonna change the filter then don't put one in. if you have allergies then you might want to put one in.
Thanks pinoyesv6. I don't have any allergies so I guess it's not worth extra $50.
the filter isn't really necessary unless you want filtered air.
I received the filters today, TYC brand. They come with instructions, too.
Here's what my filters look like in my new/used car I bought last weekend. This car only has little less than 25K miles.

You can buy the filter and tray from Ebay or any authorized dealer.

I would suggest going to a pick and pull or junk yard and getting the tray assembly from there and buy a new filter from the place I listed or on Ebay.
You have two pictured, is there another spot besides the one behind the glove box, or do you have the one under the hood in that pic too?
Mine doesn't have the tray, it has the bracket, then a gray 3M filter right behind it.
hey fellas anyone have a diagram for the 9g? my maintenance schedule says its time to replace that thing and i'd rather not pay jiffy lube to do it
changing it for the 9g is just like how it is for the 8g
haha, i should have taken pictures of my filter ;) I went and charged my AC, and everything was reading perfect, but inside air wasn't blowing AT ALL ! it was soooo clogged, had sticks and leaves, and lots of dust and dirt, was even a few dead beetles and bugs in there lol. that prolly would have crawled inside !
Thanks for this post !!! i just blew it out with an air compressor but it tore the filter all apart, I plan on " Modifying " this filter to fit into my 99 Galant Tray.
Because the filter at auto zone was almost 80 bucks w/ the tray unit im guessing. ill cut it to size and hot glue the new filter onto the old tray ;)
This thread is full of win I've been looking for a solution to my allergy problem associating with the car. Now my 01 has a cabin air filter.
I did find a used filter tray at a junkyard for $10 :)
Sweet, i will order one for my Eclipse
