What should I get for my 2000 eclipse (4 cyl , 154hp). Should i get a new cold air intake, or a new exhaust system for hopefully under $300. What should i get, or is there a way i could get both with this amount. I might be able to aquire $400 - $500 too, so please help me.
no. there is nothing you can check. if 4 different shops can't get it right.man, i don't know.bring it to me. is it the pan? is it the front seal? is it the output shaft seal? i have no idea
No more than $1000, less with a bad transmission and bad tires. Sounds like a good beater car to drive back and forth to work
save your money open hood look carefully at your excellently engineered FACTORY COLD AIR INTAKE!!! YOUR car has one already, a sewer pipe with a air filter stuck on it is CRAP!!, SO ARE SOOPER DOOPER POOPER SCOOPER CHIPS, and what, is your exhaust system cracked, is the muffler rotted out already? if it is not broke, don't fix it, wait until the muffler wears out, then fix it. you don't throw away expensive exhaust systems so the car sounds like a LOUD sewing machine.THERE ARE MULTIPLE QUESTIONS EVERY WEEK there is no way to make small cars sound like a v8 its not going to happen, save your money, there is enough stuff going to break on your car as it is, why throw good stuff out??
go with the intake. if you have an intake with a stock exhaust, it sounds really sick and you don't have the fart-cannon noise of all the other rice-burners. if you end up getting an exhaust without an intake, it'll end sounding hollow and weak, dude.
Exhaust really won't help much with performance without the intake anyway, if it can't breathe good, it can't exhale good!, it will just sound nice. Go with the intake, it will increase performance slightly and help you get better gas mileage (provided your not flooring it all the time) then pick up the exhaust later when you can afford it.
