Pics of K&N/DIY intake and PSC rear sway bar

[WanValdez]

I got a K&N filter head that attached to my factory hose going into the intake manifold. It rests on the factory airbox base which has dryer hose wrapped in heat resistant tape from Home Depot going into it from the front of the car.

I also just installed the rear sway bar from PSC. Took a while to get here but I'm def. glad I got it. Before installing the bar I actually stood in the middle of it with it resting on it's ends. I weigh about 170 lbs. and it didn't bend. After taking the factory one out I tried to stand on it but it was noticeably bending with one foot on it, maybe 40 lbs. of pressure. I think it would have bent all the way to the ground if I stood on it. I don't know why they even bother to put those on the cars. Anyway, the PSC bar makes a noticeable difference along with my front strut bar....still drastic handling changes won't happen unless I get a suspension setup. Either way I deffinitely recommend it b/c the factory one is scary haha.

Because the Accent is an Econo Box.. not a race car. Most normal people dont need to handle like they're on rails.

But good to hear you like it. Get front Sway bars, rear strut bar, and some Ksport coilovers and you'll be set. I got 2nd place in my class ea. time w/ my LC2 w/ only coilovers and a front strut bar.. (but I could actually drive.. and it was an automatic too.. beating turbo cars). So good luck and happy modding.
