I agree with these guys...your best bet would be the intake spacer at this point. Both me and 187 have one and we love it...works great to keep all that heat away from our intakes....but in the end you will prolly want to just save for a turbo.

 

Yea I've decided to save for a turbo, and Dynomat for my trunk (I've got a few ideas that might be
cheaper than Dynomat).

Good news, as of Friday, I'm no longer in the hole and I have a bank acct. again, so it won't be as
hard to save up as before! win.gif

Edit: How hard would it be to accually put a real ram air & scoop in? I'm getting a hood scoop (and
maybe a set of vents) I found on ebay, and I'm gonna get a "practice hood" from a junkyard so it
wont be so bad if I mess up!

 

I actually made about 60% of a ram air scoop setup for my Accent. I never finished it because I lost the scoop before the airbox was completed. It's not too tough to do, the biggest problem is the low clearance between the hood and valve cover. You've either got to have a large enough scoop that the box can be built above the valve cover or you've got to locate the scoop somewhere else. If you don't mind an offset intake scoop it's pretty easy, but it'll look pretty bad according to most people.

 

Not to mention offset scoops "scoop less" than center mounted scoops.

not by much tho
the pressure differential across the bonnet is not much, until you get to the extreme sides of the bonnet where it drops off to the guards
and with the relatively flat bonnet of the accents it would be good

 

I think I'll do the scoop for looks and go from there.

Ok, well on to the next idea.
Something about these screams worthless but what do you think?
One muffler.
Another muffler.

BTW: In a few weeks I'll be looking for someone to go half / half on a set of interior handles. They come in a four pack and I only have 2 doors.

 

Don't bother looking for a muffler for an Accent specifically. They're universal. Just look for a 2-1/4" or 2-1/2" inlet muffler of your choosing. There's not a lot of room so smaller is better. I personally think the Apexi N1 is a good muffler (or a clone can be good too) and sounds good on an Accent but that's all preference.

Mine has an Apexi N1 clone and it's the second car in this video here:

And this is it also:

I know they're universal, I was more interested in the price on those. Yours has the sound I'm going for "low & smooth".

Edit: I just looked it up and there is a rather large difference in price. I'm gonna keep looking though.

 

My N1 clone was only something like $40 at a local muffler shop.

 

With products on cars. Especially with as low of a aftermarket support as our accents. You honestly will get what you pay for. Go to a muffler shop like he recomended and get quote on a real system. you'll be much more happier. Greddy sounds real nice to me on my buddies civics. They have 1.6L similar to ours.
