I dont know if the code is before the cat or after.
I got a new battery and now i dont have as much wire, because i had to run it a little farther.
When my 15s are hitting like they do i dont think i will care what a mechanic says lol.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (majik @ Aug 21 2010, 10:24 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Isn't a 2003 Accent MAF based? Where is the MAFS? That would be causing the code.
Also, making it a couple inches longer doesn't seem to be making it any better. The air wouldn't be any cooler (in fact, probably less air flow) and it created bends that may slow down the air.
Did you remove one of these from the intake? Mass Air Flow Sensor:

we had to deal with my friends sonata 04 that had this.

Low voltage can cause o2sensor errors. It has happened to me. I thought of that because you mentioned pumping your stereo.

in my 02 accent, I had a leaky flex pipe in the exhaust, replaced it and the code went away. Does it sound like you have an exhaust leak?

when i seafoamed it, there was smoke coming from under the engine, and yes it was coming out of the flexpipe. that could be it.

^^^ Yep, flex pipe is bad. You can buy just the flex section and have your old one cut out and the new one welded in. Just don't let the guy that welded that exhaust hanger do it. Haven't seen that much splatter since my welding class.

a new flex pipe cut and welded shouldnt cost you more than ~100 bux installed
i wonder if you can install a beta 2 alternator on your car, that should help with the 15s in the trunk
IIRC its rated at like 95 amps
