Ok, I give up!! I have been through these forums and at some other ones, I've googled and surfed, can you all please pass on some online stores for gettng stuff like this for our 2007 Accents. I would really appreciate it.

I get the feeling that this was a "dealer" part? I tried to link my way from Hyundaiusa to find goodies like this but all I get are mudflaps and bras!!


Thanks!!

When I read the site without logging on, this website link appears on the words "air intake" in my thread.
http://www.globalautoshop.com/performance/...mance_index.htm
They are asking $139 +$12 shipping for the 2006/2007 Accent 1.5/1.6l i4.
Will it be the same as the dealer version?

looks different then the one i purchased from hyundai--but i bet the picture i see on the site isnt the same intake..

i took a shot and ordered the kit.
after emailing them a foto of the first post in this thread (dealer model), they said theirs is "all good" and would work.
does not....it's for the 2000-2005 model years, has soft single curve that'd be great on my wife's 2004 (too late, done already), but no way on the '07.
i emailed back this info w/pics attached and will return what i received.

i also let them know if they can fabricate one on the dealer's specs for $130, they'd have buyers here.

you can get manderl bent pipe and have a muffler shop weld it up for alot less than that and then paint it whatever color you want....

i actually made one for my 07 and it didnt cost me a dime..i had some intercooler piping laying around and i have a welder and viola i have my own "short ram" air intake with a k/n filter on it....jmtc :gitara:

If you look at the next item, their "Supercharger", I would be leary as to the quality of any item purchased from this dealer. Come on, anyone selling an electric fan as a supercharger has to be suspect.

Just my two cents.

You get what you pay for,

i have a question about your short ram intake.....when you removed the orignal air box the ecu is connected to it...does it remount somewhere once you have the box out? i have a custom short ram that i want to install tomorrow but dont want the ecu just flapping around...tia

and nice looking intake!

I will be honest. my short ram intake just sits there. it isnt mounted by anything. At least not that i saw when installing it. my bf might have had to hook it to something, but its connected to the throttle body pretty snug. I'll look in the morning and get back to you tomorrow evening after work (now I'm curious)

Although while at the dealership for my oil change, one of the service techs complemented me on it, and told me that the AEM short ram intake has a way of tripping off you Engine light. He said not everyone has had a problem but it happens enough for me to be aware. No problems yet.

i installed mine today....its 3" manderl bent ...with a Big A$$ K&N filter from a truck!...lol...i fabed up a mount for the ecu and i must say **** that thing growls when you stick your foot in it!!...lol
now i gotta get the car up so i can measure for my custom cat back exhaust then i have to start saving my pennies for that pretty lil 4-1 header i saw on this forum...hehe

So oOkatOo now that you are a few months out, do you see any +'s/-'s to your CAI?

Thanks

Ok people, if you look a little harder on the forum you'll see my car or a link to my website, which I hace posted pictures, links, prices of all these aftermarket items for the cars. If you have any questions feel free to post them on the forum for otehr to read as well.

I'll be adding another item to my website tonight. Powerchipusa.com now has a ECU upgrade for our cars. What kind of power you ask, well lets just say I took a Nissian Sentra and well he watched my tail lights. As for the Short Air / Ram air deal, I believe we've talked about that as well on this forum. The item is a Short Air intake with a heat shield and ecu mount bracket. It also holds the intake as well so that it doesn't just hang there, (Look under the intake under the second bend from the engine).

Presently jsut about every item out there is Canadian Dealership only items, but like tooslo has said you can make a lot of them yourself. But the coolest part of the dealer items is that up here in Canada the items are still covered under your warrenty.

My website link My Garage

not talking trash just getting info....exactly which year and model sentra did you walk away from?....even with the mods our cars arent "fast"

Couldn't be sure since I'm not a Nissian guy but it was a late model, with the big square type headlights. What model of sentra it was, I'm not sure as well, just two guys tryign to poke fun at my little car and got taught a lesson.

yeah the 1.6 auto and even the manuals are slow....kinda remind me of another car with a 1.6...lol

but the sr20de powered ones are a wee bit faster(like my last one)


has anyone had any issues with their tranny shifting funny since the installation of your SRI?

Nope but I use Amsoil, not it's not fair.

too bad you dont live in the states.....hehe

does anyone have pics of a CIA on MC auto?
i want to make one but want to see the "line" that is being used for the piping to run across and into the fender...TIA

Toolso I'll take some pic this weekend of where you could lay the pipe adn where you may need to cut.

just signed up. read some threads here before i bought my car a week or so ago.

anyways, i too am awaiting mileage results info from this thread as mileage is a key reason i just switched from a 2000 subaru legacy outback limited to my canadian accent sport. (which is different from us models.)

hopped over to ebay and found that the hyundai offered part seems cheapest there:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-2007-H...sspagenameZWD1V

but also found another aftermarket part for a lot less money that sounds decent in theory... mandrel bent with a cleanable Foam filter vs. paper or cotton. i got to thinking about my old neighbours racing dirt bikes - all use foam filters... so they must be good at trapping a lot of dirt/dust once lubricated with the sticky stuff you squish into them by hand... so why not use a foam one on a car too? sounds logical to me... or am i way off base here?

thoughts?

i'm not going to modify anything until i get more feedback from here, especially on mileage figures, as i drove 40k kms last year for work (mostly highway) & want to minimize my fuel cost this time around. (seeing as we have the highest fuel prices on the continent)

If you buy the Blue one that you showed from ebay. It should come with the filter and it's a Synthetic fibre. Better than any Oil based filter on the market today. Stick with it, not to mention it'll hold even more dust and dirt than the oil based filters as well. It's a AEM filter so read up on them.
