#43997, "what brand short ram air should I buy?"


          

I have had a short ram intake installed for about 6 months (bought it from a user on here), but 2 days ago the weld on the bracket that bolts to the battery holder broke, so now I need a new one. I still have a good k&N filter, just need a sturdy pipe that fits nicely.

not too expensive now... anyone bought from any of the guys on ebay?

TIA

1997 Eclipse RS

i have the group buy for 65$ shipped going on at the moment or u can purchase them individually for 60$ plus shipping..
**THis is for a Cold Air Intake**


the second one i would suggest, would be the aem short ram the dragon intake, injen or anyother top brands..

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

Ebay intakes are a o-tay emoji. I have a CAI that can be taken apart and turned into a ram air. I like it and it was $60 shipped.

Mines not tied or bracketed down at all and it works just fine. You should be ok.

let me give you a little more background:

I discovered the weld broke when my CEL came on. the car wasn't running different so I went under the hood to find the problem. I noticed the weld had broken so I looked around the intake to see if it was rubbing somewhere. The cone filter was rubbing. It was rubbing on my friggin wire group that connects to the ECU causing a short since it had worn through the plastic sheilding and exposed some wires!!!

so I secured the intake with some wire I had laying around and electrical taped the wires that had been exposed. no more CEL, but it feels like a pretty ghetto fix. I really want it to be more secure.
