2000 Elantra CAI question...
Hey all!
Right now, we're working on engine mods for my car. I'm definately ordering the Sharkracing crank pulley, the 1.8 cam, a throttle body (not sure which one yet), matching my intake manifold to that, and 4-2-1 headers (I have an automatic).
As of this moment, all I really have is the AOS CAI. It sounds great, and definately serves it's purpose, but I was looking for something that is a bit longer, and better looking. Maybe an intake that connects directly from the throttle body and extends all the way down? I'm pretty sure the SR CAI's do this, but I haven't seen a picture of what it looks like on a 2000 Elantra.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, the 2000 Elantra is MAF based, so the throttle body-CAI direct connection is out the window. I just recieved my AEM intake yesterday and will install is tomorrow. I have the AOS on there currently, but I like the idea of actual cold air going into my engine. I suggest you just buy an AEM, since it is longer and goes out of the auctual engine bay.

Well, I hope it fits, since mine is an auto as well 
I think it will, since I remember someone posting that it fit on their auto tib. If it doesn't work on the auto Elantra(engine bay layout), then I will just put it on my girlfriends Tib.
As for a custom intake, the only problem I can really think of is hydrolocking, but you can fix that with an AEM Bypass Valve.

Any intake that fits the gen1 or gen2 tibby, will fit the 2000 elantra.
You can go with
Kore
SR
AEM
Injen
AOS
etc...
If you want a "true" CAI, go with Kore, AEM, or SR.

there shouldn't be a problem. on a separate note, i have the aos intake, and the filter actually pokes out from under the car. to me, this draws in air from sources other than the engine bay. i dunno, but it seems like a true cai to me.
