  • Why did u paint your engine??

  • Y paint the engine?

  • I am so sad i only got a I-4

  • hey we got a 2001 elcipse gt with dna headers and spider intake i see that you change your spark plugs so could you tell me what kind they are and where you get them from please let us know asap we need red ones

  • @roughryderzimports I just went to Advance Auto and order their performance plug wires (Magstar)I believe

    they are $62 for the set. I like them overall, the fitment wasn't 100% but close enough.

  • 6g74 motor or stock?

  • @myhondagohellafast Stock, you can tell by the manifold.  It's a GT mani for sure.

  • @mrco555 yo u own a 06 subie that's tite I also have a 07 sti and I still have this eclipse well it's a stratus but its the exact same engine... I wondering if anybody wants these Megan headers I have..

  • @MGLNo1 Gained a little power, but this type car will never see any real power gains without the use of forced induction. They are short tube

  • @MGLOne1 they don't necessarily gain much HP with those megan headers to be honest it just let's the engine breath alot better combine them with an axle back exhaust cause the midpipe is actually pretty good and a CAI and change the intake manifold and u will feel a bit more power...

  • @lbori1 I agree whole heartily 

  • hey man my names Willie D from Boston i got the exact same eclipse 2000 4 banger and i got an 8 evolution Turbo comming in i would love to pic your brain and talk to you about how to do this... my cell is 781 635 7023 text me

  • @NewBreedMotorSports I own a 2006 Subaru Sti now but still have the eclipse as well. The best thing to do is become a part of a forum for the evo and research from there. The best things to start with for those cars are: Turboback exhaust, some form of intake, and a retune. If anything, get it tuned via Cobb or Dynoflash.

  • can you tell me what kind of rims thoughs are and were you bought them????

  • @tylersad2 Enkei EVO 6, bought them at buywheelstoday

  • did you change out both front and back headers?

  • @usc5299 Both

  • Yo is that a turbonator on you intake? i have the ijen short ram air intake on mine. and looks nowhere near as big as yours does. right where your maf sensor is.

  • @AkaJohnnyT23

    No turbonator...... 

  • Hey does anyone know where i can get 8mm plug wires for my 04 gts?

  • @AkaJohnnyT23

    Any auto parts store

  • Hey is this car worth it? i mean its only a SOHC....doesnt it make it no as powerful as DOHC engines?

  • @nate4life1010

    It will never gain the power that's desirable, that's why I recently purchased a 2006 STI but still have this car as an extra.

  • @nate4life1010 with a NA set up sohc is worse but if you are turboing a car sohc CAN be better. There is less rotational mass so just get a really cam and it would run better than most dohc engines

  • @thetvshowaruther Thanks so much for your info! =]. I was thinking of turbo'ing mine in the future.

  • @nate4life1010 what type of motor is it

  • Nice setup man! I'm about to get my hands on the same set of headers. Can't wait to hear what is sounds like with my Greddy Evo 2 Exhaust.

  • i have a similar set up on my eclipse .. nice car bro! check my vid

  • someone told me V6 has 2 headers?

  • @HHViRuS I have the V-6 and when you get a set of headers there will be six tubes which go to each piston. In a matter of speaking we have a header for 3 pistons and then another header for the other 3 pistons, which is why for anything V-..... we have what is called Headers. Hope this helps lol.

  • @Eclipse094 oh gotcha

  • i have a 2000 eclipse gt to how do you know if its cali spec??

  • @fmxrider450 There will be a set of numbers in the engine bay behind the engine on the left side (as if you were looking at the engine) on the fire wall that will give you the answer. The sticker will have model number, engine model ETC. Cali spec will have 9M and Fed spec will have a 4M at the end. So 9M is what you will be looking for. Any other questions just ask.

  • get dc headers. i got a 4 2 1 dc racing headers but they replace the cat so u wont pass emissions. they sound amazing with a greddy evo2 catback on my 01 eclipse.

  • Off rasp man.

  • just bought those headers myself. I was told by a local shop i'd have to extend the o2 sensor wires for this header swap. did you have any issues putting these headers in?

  • Hey Mrco555, first off, nice ride and headers, those things are hard to fine for this car. I wanted to hit you up because im thinking about getting the same exact headers you have for my 2001 eclipse gt. I wanted to know if you had problems getting the car smog-checked, being that we are both in Cali? And did the check engine light come on for whatever reason after you had those headers put on? Hit me up as soon as you can, id really like to get them for my ride.

  • @jakskelington666 that sucks. i got a 01 eclipse in maryland n u need to have a catalytic converter to pass emissions but i replaced it with dc 4 2 1 headers n have a greddy exhaust system. prob the best tuned sound u can get that doesnt sound riced out or fart cannon

  • nICE, yeah i agree with you on the Greddy, i have one on my ride and it sounds nice, no tin-can shit. I do have a question, how did you go about passing smog without the cat?

  • check the rest of the information on the video for the website I ordered from

  • Hey i was wondering if you had the link for where you ordered these from?

  • check the rest of the information on the video

  • he just curious do you have the link to the site where you got your headers?

  • does aany one knoo if is a good idea to remove the power steering and the ac compressor....????

  • @dijesslover if u remove power steering ur retarded lol

  • other than megan headers, wat is a good brand 4 headers??

  • RIPP

  • @reggiebushsaint25

    RPW Longtube or Hytech Longtube

    Hella expensive though and tough to get but well worth the money

  • hey nice car man, can u tell me if that is an electric supercharger because i just got my car and wanted to know if those things actually work so if some one could tell me that would be great

  • that was just a short ram intake. i have no idea how those electric super chargers are they seem like a neat idea but its also means that your alternator need to work harder so it might not give you any real big gains for the money. thats just my opinion.

  • the e-rams do work, but they are too pricey for the gains. I don't have one, but a friend does.

  • underglow is allright but it really is kinda pointless if you get right down to it. they serv no purpose other than looks. rims look good and serv a purpose they lighten the weight of the car

  • not necessarily. it all depends on what you buy. most will not be lighter than your stock wheels if unless you go down a size. I don't know exact number but I'd say 80% of aftermarket wheels are heavier than stock.

    Wheels with greater rotational mass can, "in theory" help though since they will tend to lower wheel spin. Also, if you get wider wheels, there will be more contact surface, thus providing more grip.

    When it comes to performance, sticky tires on stock wheels are "probably best"

  • i wonder how much the stock rims on a 2003 eclipse gts weigh? like 25lbs each?

  • I used to know but can't say I can recall right now. I'd think maybe 20ish. Sure there are plenty of aftermarket wheels that weigh less. But most wheels people buy tend to way more since lightweight wheels mean heavier bills.

    Just saying, lightweight wheels are more expensive.

  • They are good! But 95% of reliability is how well you take care of it.. You treat it good, it will last; You don't, it won't. Simple enough. Haha they aren't as reliable as a chevy though, but hey, nothing is!

    I love my 2001 GT, go for it!

  • Hay man i just sold my tiburon and im thinking about getting this 2000 eclipse GT that has 140k miles how reliable are they? iv herd bad things about them

  • on your engine did it come with black letters on your covers or did you paint them? "Mitsubishi V-6" that was black you paint that?

  • painted them with a brush using high temp spray paint

  • Put some coilovers and slam it. I got the same wheels and those tires look like a 40-45 series.Trust me it'll look kickass!

  • Just from experience, do not get 40 profile tires. Stick with 45 profile. Also, don't buy the ebay special coilovers, they are very dangerous and worthless. Expect to spend around $800 to $1200 for a decent set.

  • when installing the cold air intake did you have to remove that stuff around the bumper?

  • thats not a cold air intake, its an SRI, i gotta CAI, no, only the stock intake come out

  • Yeah, mine is a SRI. You will most likely will have to remove the splash guard underneath the driver side wheel well. It is very easy, don't be discouraged either if your car runs like crapp for the first 120 miles, the computer is remapping to counter the extra air the motor is receiving.

  • hey dude i got a 03 eclipse gts and i cant decide what exhaust system i want to go with

  • I think Borla would be a good choice or get the exhaust shop to do a custom setup with a street series muffler if you want tone and not noise. Mine sounded very nice without the headers, but the flow became too much for my magnaflow muffler after the headers.

  • Get a burnt tip muffler on ebay and stop talking about your poser gts with underglow.

  • Wow, I have no respect for this comment. Any ebay "muffler" will sound like a cracker box. If you go cheap, then you will be the annoying ricers that cruise round the streets for racing. Also, the only thing a GTS has is a different intake plenum which yields an extra 5 hp on the motor.

  • Haha wow you idiot its called sarcasm because he keeps posting about his gts that he just put underglow on.

    Seriously.

  • so what? it still looks bad ass

  • Underglow is rice

    You must be in highschool or dare I say middleschool, to think underglow is bad ass.

  • i think its bad ass cuz it looks it n im a semester away from finishing college, thats my taste. looks matter to me just as much as the vehicles performance. plus you can be seen at night so its also a good safety practice

  • Are you seriously that ignorant? Why do you think underglow has been made illegal in many states? It is a DISTRACTION to other drivers. Therefore, not a safety practice at all.

    Underglow is silly and pointless. Its a distraction to other drivers, thus a safety hazard.

    Its more of a novelty seen on show cars to draw attention, On anything else, it is rice.

  • ignorant? how? im not the one bashing the idea of underglow.

    distraction? not forcing you look, look if you please or dont, your decision.

    neon lights are illegal. only emergency vehicle colored lights and flashing flashing lights are illegal in most states.

    rice? define rice, ive seen plenty of big v8 cars with underglow dont insult other peoples taste especially since you seem to have none

  • from personal experience they help keep the drivers alert of where youre at in bad weather, like when it rains a shit ton, i had a few friends driving behind me once n they said the only reason they knew where the road was because my underglow illuminated the road markings so they followed knowing they could see the road ahead

  • Rice, is doing any form of pointless modification.

    I can see where they help to illuminate road markings. But they are still illegal in many states due to being a hazard to other drivers. I should know, I live in a state that is an example of this.

    As for poorly attempting to bash my lack of taste, you have no evidence to support such a comment.

  • when did this become a court room,

    a lot of people like underglow, just cuz i want a decal on my dodge that says mopar on it doesnt mean its rice, its just another pointless mod... so what?

    correction, NEON lights are fire hazards... thats why there are LEDs, in a lot of states LEDs are perfectly legal if theyre not emergency vehicle colored lights and not mounted in grills or blink.

  • Check again, any underglow, LED or NEON, is illegal in some states.

    Minnesota is one of these.

    A decal isn't a modification.

  • well in my state leds are legal n a decal is a modification since most cars dont come with them. not gonna argue any further since this is ridiculous

    iff you have style and performance, great! keep on rockin

  • alright agreed. I'd have a vid up of my ride but no video camera. Do have alot of pics uploaded around the web though

  • awesome! i dont just a pic here n there

  • Nice nice, is it a 3g?

  • i actually have a 2g Stratus R/T which is a little longer than the 3g eclipse since the strat has a trunk n not a hatch. they basically share the same parts only the stratus has a different intake

  • I like the rims on your wheels, who makes those. I have a 01' GT with some nice rims. They look alot like yours so I was curious.

  • those are 17 inch Enkei Evo 6 wheels

  • nice.. r engines very clean... very nice sound.. 5* ride

  • thanks for the compliments

  • the headers are factory replacements minus the cat, if the new cat-back exhaust bolts up to the factory then this will work fine

  • my gt has a bat cat, if i buy a full exhaust will it come with it is like 500bucks, plus if i buy headers will it match the exhaust? can they be different

  • dAM dud i cant find headers 4 my o2 spyder gt ..wer u get urs from??

  • internet

  • hey im about to install my megans....so j/w do they come with preset o2 sensors for the front, u know before the cats used to be?

  • The headers come will all necessary bungs for O2 sensors. Although there is no bung for the EGR valve. You must cut that pipe and stick a breather on the end of it to make it work properly without throwing any codes.

  • thanks. so after u cut one for the EGR valve then it should throw no codes right? have u had any problems lately? have u run your 3g? times? feel any improvements?

  • honestly in my opinion, i would not worry bout the EGR... just install the block off plate that comes with the headers. yeah you'll have the CEL on, but if you get tired of it just take your cluster apart and take the light out. lol. I hear the engine runs like a few degrees cooler not having the egr hooked up... wheather that is true or not or if it helps any i dont know.

  • u can do that but in most states it wont pass emissions

  • how much is your eclipse pulling

  • where do u buy a hfc for dis car

  • I just went to the exhaust shop, and they had the Magnaflow universal highflow cat and had it installed. They are a cheap alternative to those direct bolt on ones, although the direct bolts ons do flow more.

  • where did u buy your exhaust?

  • hey where did you get the headers from

  • I have a question! I have headers in my 03 gt eclipse. But do u have catalytic conv. or full piping to the back after the headers?

  • I think on the 03, you have to have a cat because there are 02 sensors after it, but if there are no 02 sensors after it, then technically you do not need a cat, i had an universal magnaflow cat (HFC) put in the stock location

  • from what i've heard eclipses with full exhaust systems won't pass emissions as easily though. with no catalytic conv. it would be doubtful that it wold pass emissions either. as for this video, thanks! this is the only video i can find with this gen eclipse with headers lol. it makes a big difference. i have an 01' eclipse gt, stock, but i'm thinkin borla catback exhausts though lol

  • put a high flow cat or u will blow ur cat and have chunks of metal stuck in ur exhaust

  • Can u put an HFC on long tube header? thats why i dont have cat conv.

  • if your talking about your 3rd cat under the body i replaced mine with a singal inlet dual outlet and it runs fine and doesnt throw any codes. check it out on my videos

  • yeah, shouldn't throw any codes, there isn't ne o2 sensors after the third cat. seen the vids. I like the body kit and cant wait to see it painted. i would have told you that on one of your vids but you got me block... lol

  • Comment removed

  • haha yeah man after all that fuss just didnt want to deal with it any more

  • You definitely have rasp. Reason #1 why I'd never buy anything exhaust related from Megan Racing.

  • how much extra horse does that give you?

  • not sure, but i do have more torque steer up top now, so i do know that i did get more from it

  • ic good,so what it comes down to is would you recommand getting it, or was it worth the money?

  • for the money they are hard to beat, but they are raspy and you will throw a code if you dont use the anti-fouler trick or run the secondary sensors behind the cat

  • right my friend told me the best thin i could do for mine is put springs all the way around it, but im not sure what he was exactly talking about, and put a stage 2 clutch in which sounds like a good idea

  • Im guessing the springs mean lowering springs.  Yeah, they do help but you scrape a lot more.

  • yea well when i get them in a few months ill post a video and show you

  • so now i have im getting about $500 a pay check. where would i need to go to get them or should i look for something else first. Engine is completely stock

  • Well, if you have a fed spec, these wont help you a lot in the power gains, but for a cali-spec, it will a little. Basically, if you are looking for cheap performance, then this will satisfy your needs, but get a Borla muffler to go with it, my Magnaflow is disappointing. But I recommend getting a cold air intake first, biggest bang for the buck. With the headers and intake, im getting 31mpg on the highway with an eight year old V6.

  • sounds good to me were did you order your cold air online or auto zone?

  • very nice sound mann. i just picked up some megan headers for my 2g eclipse.XD

  • So what does code P0431 mean?

  • Catalyst efficiency below threshold (Bank 2). Basically, the new headers dont't have precats and it doesn't like it. There is a trick to fix it though

  • Just Curious. Thanks.
