The Injen IS1880BLK is a black-finished short ram intake for the 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse with the naturally aspirated 2.0L four-cylinder. The manufacturer builds the tube from mandrel-bent aluminum and uses a fully serviceable Injen SuperNano-Web dry air filter. The main reason to choose it over a generic pipe is that the manufacturer says it is built to fit the 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse L4-2.0L, no tune required, so you avoid a remap. Owners on user forums point to sensor mounting as the main hurdle with cheap universal kits, since cheaper ones do not have a place for the MAF sensor.
The manufacturer says the short ram layout will fit directly into even the tightest of engine bays, and it also states the intake is meant to give a more aggressive throaty tone under load. For buyers searching for a 95-99 Eclipse 2.0L cold air intake, a bolt-on Injen short ram with a dry-media filter is a straightforward upgrade over the factory airbox. Confirm the fitment before ordering: the turbo models use a different part, the IS1890BLK, which the manufacturer lists as needing the stock blow-off valve.
The manufacturer lists the IS1880BLK for the 2.0L naturally aspirated L4 and excludes Spyder models. The turbo version is a separate part, the IS1890BLK, which the manufacturer says must be used with the stock blow-off valve.
The manufacturer states that the IS1880BLK requires no tune. Confirm your specific setup with the manufacturer if you run other modifications.
Owners on user forums report that the MAF sensor connection must stay plugged in and the sensor housing must be sealed properly to avoid running problems.
The manufacturer says the kit completes installation with provided hardware and instructions, so no extra components should be needed. Keep the mass airflow sensor connected and make sure its seal is tight, since owners on user forums flag this as a common cause of idle and check-engine problems after an aftermarket intake swap. Review the manufacturer's instruction sheet before starting to confirm the tool list and any steps specific to the non-turbo layout.
