I know its silly to have headers on an automatic but I dont care. It is very loud and I want to make my car different especially since its an Accent. Hope you guys enjoy. Comment if you need info!
Bought a 2008 Hyundai accent a couple of months ago. 200k miles, very clean. Bssic model, 5 speed. Just what I wanted, everything manual. A great project vehicle to enhance performance. Drives great. It reminds me of an original Mini of the 1970s. I'm an engineer and this is a very well designed vehicle, and even fun to drive. At 80 mph it has the sound of a Porsche 917 at Le Man's. Great little car, cheap parts, and simple to maintain. Mine is light blue, so I'm going to paint Gulf orange accents here and there...it'll be my Gulf Hyundai 😉. Thanks for your postings, I'm getting some ideas...
Not 200k, just 100k miles 😀
They are some nice little cars well built and reliable from my experience for sure! Thanks! I definitely should have held onto this one for a while
Do you still have this Hyundai? Mine is an 09 5 speed hatchback. Long tube headers, tune kit, muffler delete and after market air intake. And yeah I agree very fun car and easy to maintain
This is the best looking Accent I've ever seen
Billy zane Thank you I appreciate it. It was a fun car to start with and to learn on.
Honestly that little car sounds awesome .
You gotta drill a hole in the exhaust for the check engine light to go away
Raspy sound is coming from your stock cat by your mid pipe. I got rid of that problem by buying mid pipe kit with hi flow cat.
Xyero yea i realized that after not going with a full exhaust but i didnt feel like spending more money on it lol
It would have cleaned up the check engine light to.
Damn that sounds awesome man.
Andre Smith thanks man it was nice while i had it on there but it made long trips a headache haha.
I have a 2009 I'm thinking of doing this to.
What size are these tires and rims. I’m in the middle of fixing up a 2010 accent. Ahh I found it in a comment.. I’m thinking bout putting 17x8 + 35 with a 205/40.. think they will rub? I think I’m good. But looking for opinions.
On my 2000 Impreza now im running 17x8 with +35 offset and I love it, it fills out the wheel wells nicely however, if you have coilovers it might rub. I have my rear raised almost to stock height and it doesnt rub. Is your suspension stock on the accent? I would think they would be fine, i remember the wheel wells were pretty big lol, the offset of those would make it look a lot nicer without having to use spacers like i did!
I’m using very similar wheels. That’s awesome.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants to mod my car I’m glad there’s others because no one likes my car
This was a good first car to learn the basics on, I tried to do what I could with it when I had it. Fun and reliable and they can look good when done up right!
The check engine light is because it doesn't have ob sensor anymore. It you find a way to put it. It would be stop.
Appreciate it but I no longer have that car, I might have gotten away with it if I had a code reader to erase it but it would have come back eventually
Real men just take the manifold off
I work at an oil change shop and this dude came in in a 90s lexus with the headers completely sawed off. It sounded so bad driving out almost like it was blowing bubbles lol
I have an orange Hyundai Accent just like this man you make me want to suit it up.
Do the bolts still feel good to the touch after it's run for awhile?
looks like a little Type R
This is would be the best sleeper if you did a Veloster N swap!!! Nobody would expect it!!
Man, hindsight is 20/20! In some ways I still wish I had stuck with Hyundai cause I really had no problems with my car and theres definitely a growing aftermarket now. But a swap would have been sick, the new N series are awesome!
There is oxygen sensor ,without calalytec converter ?!
This car still had its catalytic converter. It threw a code for the O2 sensor once the headers were on
By God this would make a good little rally car! I door dash and deliver pizzas like a madman in the hills of eastern Ky in a 07 model I bought with a big dent, but only had 80k on it! Parts are dirt cheap I just hit 186k miles and just done all new tires, 4 wheel breaks with all new stuff! Already did filters, spark plugs, coils, coil wiring harness it was all cracked so I replaced it to! Run like a scalded dog! 💪🏼
I loved the car and hated to pass it onto my sister but i jumped the gun on what i thought woduld be a fun car lol. There were a few times i took the hyundai out in the middle of WV in the snowy mountains and even with all season tires on the car it did pretty good. Never had any complaints or left me stranded anywhere. If i had the choice id go back and time and keep it a little longer LOL
Hey man, how reliable from 1-10 would you rate yours so far, am thinking about getting one now.
@@desmondlouis5762 bought one 4 years ago with 100k miles on it. The engine is great, it's got good power for the price tag and it's nimble. It's very fun to drive, most people who have driven my stock one have wanted to get one. When it comes to reliability I've not had any issues and if you ever do it's rather cheap to get fixed.
I know this is late but I would have rated it 9 out of 10. I only had one issue while owning it and it was a coil pack that went bad around 40k miles
Yes I second this! Lol
Nice vid, recently got my megan racing muffler installed ony my accent, same deep and quiet tone. Lookin to try and get some headers for her
Tazmanian_Chris thank you and theyre are definitely worth it!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The computer doesn't recognize it so resulting in CEL. Tune the computer to accept the after market pipes and shit. same with aftermarket performance air filter
For 2003 accent since they have the same 1.6l would it fit does the pattern change ??
I’m honestly not too sure, I no longer have that vehicle. When I bought them they only fit for 2006-2011 Hyundai Accents and Kia Rios.
@@AustinJenner ooohh ok alrighty well hopefully they fit I bought ones from eBay they were in a good price if they fit that’s a plus because it’s hard to find headers for that year on those Hyundais’
@@frankgarcia1435 Good luck! It will make the car a lot more fun if it fits!
Did you notice a difference in performance/engine response?
Maranello Santiago yes i did. I dont have 0-60 times or anything because its not a sports car or by any means a tuner but i was able to easily hit the 6000-7500 rpm range when getting on the highway or if i was just fooling around. Its just unbearably loud. I ran the setup for a year as a daily driver and it became more of an annoyance than enjoyment. That could also be the muffler i had but in the end i think it gives the accent that extra little bit of performance it needs.
@@AustinJenner how do you get it to rev that high.mine cuts out at 6500rpm.i have the standard headers.but 50mm all the way through
mark terence usually on hills or highway entry ramps that are up hill when i tried to merge. It definitely opened up the car regardless though. It was almost unbearable on longer trips lol
Whe you put the header,did you have some problems with the engine??
I ended up removing it just cause of noise levels. I started commuting to work and college and it was getting annoying with the drone. I never had any engine issues with the car
@@AustinJenner I got it, I think the problem with my car is the tropical weather in my country because i feel the engine getting more warm and some cases doesn't respond quick, i had to removed the intake for the same thing but thanks bro, I will look some solutions hahaha😅
Amazing bro
If you put this car on coilovers could you help me? I really wanna do it to mine and dont know where to start.
Unfortunately I no longer own this car. That was going to be my next step for it though when i had it
Hey I have a 2014 Hyundai Accent do you know where I can one I already have some mods done to my car I’m just looking for headers so I can finish with striaght piping it
I would check carID or 1A Auto . Either there or ebay should have some
I need those headers
I no longer have the car but you can probably still get them of of meganracing.com
Still got the car? Just curious what size wheels are on it? Mine has 14s, but want 16s
Unfortunately I dont but here are the specs I had. At the time of the video I had 15x6 Sparco Assetto Gara Wheels wrapped in 195/55R Hankook Ventus V2 Concept tires, i was also running a 1 inch spacer all around.
@@AustinJenner I was researching spacers, but somehow the annoying high rev at 55 got my priorities more into bigger wheels. - I know with my Escort I went up a size & it looked better ,speedomenter was actually under about 3-4 mph at 55
@@97warlock thats understandable, I did enjoy the bigger set up for looks and handling, the only issue with the spacers that I had is they locked onto the original lugs and I used the spacers as the mount for the wheels but after a winter or two they were not coming off even with anti seize. Now that ive learned some more id much rather prefer something with a positive offset and different wheel size lol
I wonder if you can change that annoying ignition chirp
I’m sure there is a sensor somewhere under the steering wheel column that you could unplug but I no longer have the car to be for certain. You can always check the Hyundai forums for examples or how to’s.
@@AustinJenner
Not that anyone has a sound preference like me (it just sounds too cartooney in this model)
But I did find this. If anyone else is interested. You can probably just coat the wire with a heat shrink, wire nut, or hot glue.
ruclips.net/video/Ib68433p6JM/видео.html
Rev, please
I have one and I need to know what rev sounds like
Sorry I no longer have this car
@@AustinJenner guess I’ll have to do it then lol
Very cool. My 2009 sounds a little like that but that's because exhaust is shot!
Darn, sounds like it’s time to upgrade!!
agreed! @@AustinJenner
@@AustinJenner watching again....really want to do this...
@@KeepDante2 Go for it, I don’t think you’d regret it!!
since I now smell exhaust it is time for the whole shindig to be replaced....the time has come
Hey I noticed your rear window spoiler is black did you take it off to paint it if so how did you take it off cuz I'm trying to take mine off and I got every visible nut off that I can see and I even took the entire back hatch door off of the car thinking maybe it didn't have enough wiggle space being on the car and it still won't come out
I actually went the cheap way and plasti dipped it while it was still on. I taped everything off that i didnt want to spray and did it that way
@@AustinJenner ok gotcha. I ended up finally getting it off. Took the whole back hatch door off the car and because there's adhesive take basically just needed to pull real hard. After all the nuts are removed obviously. Yes I'm going to Plasti dip mine as well I just wanted to take it off the car. But the light cover screws won't budge and are rounding out so I'm just taping off the light then spraying it
I'm wondering if I'd still pass inspection with a set of headers since the exhaust manifold has a catalytic in it. Would the secondary cat "scrub" the exhaust gases enough to get a pass....hmmm.
TheFlacker99 (Flak) I will find out in August I suppose. I havent tried to reset the ecu or anything to clear the code(if its possible). haha!!
looks like your passenger rear axle it out looks real bent
Its just the way i left my wheel turned when i got back home lol
Hey man I love the wheels you have on there man you have link to them by chance?
Jacob McCoy Hey man thanks a bunch. They’re great wheels and a great price! I ordered them from tire rack 2 summers ago. Once you get to the website you can find your car and it’ll match it for you! Hope this link helps tires.tirerack.com/m/tires/Sparco%20Assetto%20Gara
Jenner XC awesome thx man!
hi
did the check engine light ever go away
e l no it didnt but with a simple code delete or battery reset it should fix that issue
Hey you think you can give me advice/tips on my 09 Hyundai Accent hatchback stick shift?
Unfortunately I know longer have that car and when I did have it, it was an automatic as far as transmission goes but what are you looking for?
@@AustinJenner I was looking for some headers. I finally found some. I installed an air intake with a tune and it's pretty quick and real loud
@@callmemateo Awesome and yes it can get pretty loud
I have a 2009 accent and I need help with mine!
Brit's Reptile Community Whats wrong with it?
I don't live in america and I just saw the model a few weeks ago why does your accent have these different colored spoiler and filler cap ?
Chris konte I used a thing called plasti dip. Its a bottle of rubberized paint. Its about $6-7 us dollars at a parts store but basically what you can do is spray about 5 or 6 coats on and once its done it stays on for a good while and the nice thing about the plasti dip is that can peel off once youre done and it doesnt leave any marks and can protect your paint.
@@AustinJenner Ah ok, cuz I've seen a Accent in this video:
ruclips.net/video/gQMCsuxQNYk/видео.html at 13:14 I could see sticker or something that's why I asked ^^
Edit: And another question is that the normal "Your door is open" beeping noice ? Cuz it sounds like a I don't know it just sounds so unfamiliar
:D
Chris konte sorry for the late response but yes once I sat in the car and turned the key it was beeping cause the door was open. Its not half as bad as my subaru lol
Where did you purchase the parts??
At the time it was directly from meganracing.com
I went up 3 rim sizes on my 2008 and painted them.
I won't post a vid until the day I finish customizing my 2008. Already put in LED headlights as well as changed every other light in the car to LED. (LED also consumes less power)
and got drilled and slotted rotors along with quality brake pads and clips.
added sound deadener and foam all around the car except the ceiling and floor. But I did the hood though just with insulation foam. along with new speakers and tweeters from pioneer to replace the old ass 10 year old oem speakers and tweeters.
also installed a wooden dash trim kit and got vinyl spray paint and painted the light gray part of the dash. as well as the interior door panels. I like the dark gray parts so i let them be.
I got fabric spray paint and painted the seats black and burgundy. There was no brown paint to be found so I had to settle for burgundy. Though it is a temporary thing until I decide wether to get either aftermarket Leather seats, or get the factory seats reupholstered to leather, or get leather seats used from some other car that can fit my car.
I even took apart the guage cluster to get to the circuit board and changed the lights to blue by soldering, with a couple being white. I also did the same to the console.
I also painted the plastic engine cover urban camo using a stencil i made. and I painted the header heat shield with high temp anodized blue
and still gotta get a touch screen stereo and get windows tinted by a shop.
coilovers are a maybe.. as well as a disc brake conversion and sub frame brace
Soldier1287 holy cow thats a pretty insane setup for a hyundai. It sounds sweet though. If i still had the car i was going to get the coilovers and that woulda been about it. Cant wait to see the video!
I also need fog lights. mine has the dummy switch.
what color can they be.
I think pretty much almost everything I've done was all cosmetic. Except i guess for the wheels. Since I got wider low profile tires now so more grip. 205's 17 5-spoke
The rims
were painted glossy dark gray. Was trying to go for a dark chrome look, but went with this instead. I can at least see my reflection in them though
Soldier1287 i just went with the clear fog lights but with vinyl wrap off of amazon you can do any color. I also had the regular clear light bulb so i never got into trouble with having off colored lights.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
How different is the 2005 1.6l compared to the 2006 and up 1.6l? Please advise...
Brandon Dogoncrack Honestly im not to sure about that, I havent had any other experience with hyundai other than this car so I cant say Sorry!
@@AustinJenner its ku thx for the reply
@Brandon Dogoncrack the difference is the cylinder head. The 06 and up had cvvt (constant variable valve timing)
@@peytonzahnd598 thanks
👍
Wishing I still had my Accent
David Payne me too! Lol
what rims are those? what size? I like them
They are Sparco Assetto Garas 15x6 4x100 you can find them on tirerack.com
What you got for a exhaust I wanna get one
THEBROSYT JD A cold air intake from Weapon R, Megan racing headers, stock piping from down pipe to a Megan Racing universal muffler, unfortunately i dont have the part number for the muffler but their website has quite a bit to choose from!
@@AustinJenner ok bro thanks dude
You took off the heat shield and no problems?
I painted my shield anodized blue high temp.
Soldier1287 yea the head shield wouldnt fit the headers. I had no issues
ok
Did you remove the catalytic converter?
Been researching like crazy of all the aftermarket shit I want.
would it be quieter with stock muffler? I'm more after weight reduction. I hear aftermarket exhaust is like 26 pounds lighter than stock
Soldier1287 no it was still on there. The only thing removed which is what showed the check engine light was one of the two o2 sensors.
so it is stock exhaust exept for those headers? And you removed the oxygen sensor?!?!
Did you pass inspection??
Andrew Oliver yes I did. I have 2 o2 sensors on mine. One on the stock head and the other on the catalytic converter. All i said was one was unplugged but it still had the cat and they passed it. Im not sure how it would do in other states or locations but it helped to have the car in good condition other than that! I hope that helps!
Jenner XC Oh ok...I don't think that would in New Jersey..that's the first thing they usually check. I thought you would be able to use the O2 bung trick but I guess not
Andrew Oliver yea Im not to sure. Since i did all of this to my car I know the issues in and out so I was going to have my friend clear the code if thats what youre talking about but i decided not to. I actually removed the headers because of the drone and gave the car to my sister. But if you have any more questions i can try and help
Jenner XC Yeah the code would be my only concern
