i don't know if the tube for the eco is the same size as the 3400 but i just got an adapter at oriellys for like $10 and it works fine...not as good of a setup as replacing the piping but it still makes a small difference

just a follow up to somewhat complete my post. quote cut and pasted from a nother thread. that was totaly not related to 3400 CAIs lol.its a "chrome air intake" off of ebay for a couple pennys short of $50. came with everything you see but without instructions. kind of guess putting it together and its not perfict. but well worth the pic.
SPC: still no video. sorry to get your hopes up.

as far as waters concerned dont drive through anything that deep... as far as just sucking up rain and moisture going down the road... if that was such a big problem then probably all the people that do have these, wouldnt.

MAF sensor wires tight with CAI install
Anyone else buy the CAI off Chrome intakes on E-bay and find plugging the maf sensor connector in that the wires were really tight? I hooked mine up today and cut back some off the electrical tape that wrapped all the wires but still don't like the tightness of the wires. Afraid that they might pull out of the connector. Any ideas to help fix this would be great and Thanks.

Since I'm a cheapo, and don't want to buy the extension I posted, could I simply just splice the IAT wire and extend it with some decent gauge wire? Or is that just a really bad idea? I would like to put the sensor right behind the filter, which the stock wiring only makes it like halfway.

iv always been a fan of"plugandplay". if you splice the wiring and add length then your going to be stuck with excess wire if you go back to stock. plus it gives you 4 more splices to go bad and cause you issues. just my .02
