yes it is

 

can't say for sure whether it's legit but honestly an intake is just a tube plus a filter, there's really no such thing as a "good" intake versus a "bad" intake.

I suggest that just for the piping, then go out and buy a nice filter.

I'm not going to try and turn you away from selling your car, but browse around a bit here and take a look at some other members' Accents. They can be a very fun car.

yes, actually it's no joke when it comes to modifying these cars. I take it kind of seriously no matter what anyone says about "hyundai". Check out my for sale forum, I'll give you a great deal on a short ram intake (bolt on for LC/LC2's) LC2 is the model you have.

Intakes on the MAP based Accents like yours are pretty simple. Any of the Ebay tubes should work, but I suggest you buy GLaccent01's intake. If you want to do a full cold air intake you can make the one from a 99 Eclips non-turbo fit. There are cheap ones of those on Ebay also.

The filters the cheap intakes come with are crap, so your best bet is to buy a K&N or other brand name filter for use on the intake.

my friend has blown up so many eclipses but how cheap for the full cold air?

 

I don't know, whatever they're going for on ebay. The short ram intakes seem to work out best on Accents for some reason though vs cold air intakes.

That's the exact one I have (same seller even) the filter I got wasn't bad but I ended up replacing it anyway, the one they sent was red I wanted blue.

Edit: It took them a while to ship cause they didn't have the clamps in stock.
