How bout this for an Intake?
There's another Accent driver in the city I'm in, I happened to catch up with him one day, and we booted around town for a while. He was faster, considering his was a manual tranny...
When we finally parked and checked each other's car over, I noticed his 'Random Special' Intake. {though it wasn't actually a Random Special'.
What he had done was cut the plastic pipe just a few inches from the IM, so to leave the exsisting sensor hook-ups. From the cut he inserted, and clamped on a 2 and a quarter inch, flexible, aluminum pipe and routed so that the cone filter on the end sits between the radiator, and the custom grill he put in at the front of the car. He basically has a ram air setup. To get the pipe to go in front of the rad, he had to cut a semi cirle from out of the frame of the car, between the light housing, and the rail the rad is connected too. I was quite impressed. A lot simpler, than putting it to the ground. Cost him 20 bucks for the six foot length of pipe, and 45 dollars for the filter. A picture of it...
