Thought I would share a pic of the custom dual setup just completed on my fiance's 01 Eclipse GT. It is a catback sys with 2.5" piping exiting into Magnaflow's street series mufflers.

 

me likes. looks clean.

 

Nice. I have the 3.0 in my Stratus coupe, did you see any gains?

 

It runs pretty good for a 3.0 V6. Have never had the car dynoed though. The exhaust coupled with the Injen CAI and Proflow TB adds a decent kick over stock.

 

I have the Dreamspeed CAI (basically same thing power wise). Tell me about the Proflow TB... whered you get it? you install it? how much?

 

The Proflow TB is rebored to 62mm, stock is 60mm. It was fairly easy to install. Cost is $175. I had to sign up to a waiting list for it. Once the ship it, you install and then ship your old one back to them.

Are you a member of Club3g?

What kind of gains did this provide? Also, does the CAI still work w/the larger TB? What were your impressions on it?

Thanks,
Cory

Throttle response and top end are improved. The CAI is still a perfect fit. Essentially the TB is a stock unit with a rebored core to 62mm.

Very clean EnthusiastZ, very clean. That 3.0 V6 is a solid engine. People couldn't believe how fast my 2000 Eclipse GT was. In the right hands they can do a lot more than most people realize. I always wished I had gotten mine dynoed because it seemed really strong, more than it should have been.

 

Looks nice, I am going to miss my Eclipse GT so bad when I sale it.

 

The first time you drive the Z you won't even remember that you owned an Eclipse.
