49615, AEM CAI for 98 eclipse gs help
Posted by Eclipselova98, Apr-22-03 12:56 PM
hey i got all the stock shit out like the inlet pipe and the filter box, but there is something in place of where the filter should be for the new intake. Its seems to be attached with the fuse box. Also the rubber stop the kit gives you where does that mount to? Any help will be greatly appriecated.

That plastic piece shouldnt be an issue. Wasnt an issue with mine atleast.

And that rubber piece youre talking about as far as I know fits in where the old bolts for the air box went. Should meet right up with the right one!:)

Do you see it anywhere on my fuse box? I used to have a cold air intake....I didn't have any problems getting it in. If it's not in the pic lemme know and i'll dig up my stock intake and figure out what you're hitting.

The part i think he's talking about is right inside the bottom hole as to where the filter is on the CAI, there is some type of box that you can move to get the filter to fit. I ran into the same problem and had to mess around a bit to get the filter to fit.

are you guys talking about the piece that is connected to the fuse box but runs behind the fuse box down to the bottom of the bumper/fender? if so, i left that in and didn't have any problems....i just had to slighty push things out of the way to get the filter down there.

you're not talking about the horn, are yoU? all you have to do is slide it sideways kinda....and also, if a "black box" is getting in your way of the PIPING..you need to remove more of the airbox (its annoying, but its gotta go)..other than that, just slide everything out of the way...the first fit is the hardest, after that taking it out and putting it back is cake...
