I wanted to get headers and and exhaust system for my 2007 Hyundai Accent GS Hatchback and came across kfx and evofusion. I was reading around this forum for the cat back from EVO and it seems it won't fit on my vehicle according to bloodninja's post who has the 2008 accent 2dr. It's safe to assume if it won't fit on the '08 it won't fit on the '07... I guess I'll...

At times it feels like my 06 Accent's automatic transmission slips. What happens is when driving along the car seems to go into neutral and revs to 4-5000rpm. I can stop and restart the car then all seems normal. Any tips on how to figure out what's wrong?

I got the popular equipment package, and really regret not getting cruise control. Does anyone know my options for adding it on? I'm pretty sure that this hasn't been addressed in the forums yet, so it should be a new discussion for everyone. I wish I could get cruise for 300-500 bucks, but that seems unlikely. Any thoughts?

I've noticed this myself, for a few years now.
If offered two parking spaces in a lot, I find myself parking next to the Hyundai.
My wife, who saw me do this for years found it happening to her. She'd pull her Elantra GT in to the lot and when she came out after work, a red Elantra was parked next to her. this happens on a regular basis for her.

In the process of two weeks my clutch has gone from strong to gone. I have no idea what happened, and my dealership told the Hyundai warranty rep. not to good will it. Any ideas? Would it do me any good to go to another dealer or what? I love my Trans Am, but I can't afford 6 MPG any longer than I have to.

so today i went to the dealer who said that they were getting a misfire code.. they upgraded the ECM and we're all good. idles smoother too.

I recently brought my own oil (pennzoil platinum 5w-30) to the dealership for an oil change and they used all 4 quarts. The dipstick reading shows it being ~ 0.5 quarts over the fill line, which makes sense because the capacity is 3.48 with a filter. Is this a problem or can I let it slide.

When will the Accent be redesign. This design that is current is really bubbly (Ugly) I like the Kia Rio version way better. The Hyundai Accent may have a few more standard features, but the look is killing me. lol

My questions are:
What is the easiest way for me to set up my amp?
Any recommendations on where to splice the left/right?
Will the quality of the sound be worth it to hook...

Good luck trying to get this part (engine damper) from KFX.
I ordered one back in late July, and they immediately charged my credit card $108 shipped.
Two weeks later, I emailed KFX that I hadn't received it yet - no answer.
4 weeks from order I emailed KFX where was it? Finally got a reply asking if it was for a Rio. Told them it was for an Accent- same...

But about an hour after I got to work I walked out to my car and for some reason had the thought to look under it. What I saw was a big puddle under my engine! I put...

2008+ Hyundai Accents have a single DIN stereo and there is no aftermarket Double Din kit available yet. I tried ordering a 2007 accent bracket but the holes will not line up to an aftermarket deck so modification was needed to get the nav to sit correctly. it is still not 100%, but it is better than nothing and will do untill a proper double din kit is available for the Accent

So, I'm 2 miles from the house, I'm cruising 57mph, and I come over a hill. There was a farm tractor in my lane, so I pull out into the oncoming lane to pass and get right up to him, and he decides to make a hard left into a drive way. I locked it up, but he had the whole street blocked with the tractor and trailer. Obviously I hit him. He had no brake lights, no blinker, and he even...

OK for all those looking at buying the KFX Headers and to KFX. These are the modifications required to make the headers work and not cause any Check Engine Lights.
1. Connection for the end of the KFX pipe to CAT needs to have the holes grinded more narrow, about 2-3mm each side.
2. You will need to purchase a set of bolts for the connection of the KFX pipes.
3. OK...

The only downside is I got two left sides.
But I guess it shouldn't matter much if
I just cut the mounts off and make my own.
