Can CIA for Tib be mod for Accent???
Does anyone know where I could find a CAI online for an Accent? Got a price from a shop here in SA and my wallet didn't like it! Thanks for the HELP!Peace...
I found a CIA for Tib...could it be modified to fit an Accent? Any suggestions?

The tibby and accent have much different engine bays. The bends required to get an accent filter down into the fenderwell are much more severe than in the tibby, so the tibby CAI would not work.
When I tried to build one for the accent, due to the engine bay, and where the filter had to go, I was forced to build one out of PCV rather than the flexable exhaust tubing I usually like to use.
3 90 degree elbows and about 3" of plastic PCV and you should be able to build your own. You can also start with 2" PVC and put a 2" to 2.5" or 2" to 3" adapter somewhere along the pipe lenght to increase the diameter to get better air flow around those 90 degree bends.

Im building one for 2k3 Tib. I got 3" pipe with 180degree bend. from JcWitny (sp)
I can five the url if you want. The pipe should be here in like 9 days and give me about 2 weeks to make it (maby 3) and paint it up realy nice. Ill post pics as well.
Hell just make one. But I don't care what people say. PVC is GHETTO. LOL like that weapon r ram air kit compleate with dryer hose.

Kewl.
One tip I got of a site was to paint or have it coated with Ceramic. I have to check the local parts store but I think you can buy a ceramic based paint.
Take pics and post them.
