Mods to a '00 Tiburon

[curbie]

I wanted to ask something else about mods. I have a '00 Tiburon, 5-speed manual and it is just a stock model. The car is undoubtedly bought used. I guess I could take pictures, IF I could find the darn digital camera. Anyways, how much would a cold-air intake cost, and would I need to get a bigger or newer muffler? I'm really new to the mods area and could use some help/suggestions?

I also have a parts list for the '00 Tiburon. I noticed the other day that I have a crack on the rear bumper where the muffler is intalled. It looks as if someone had stood on the bumper and resting the foot in where the plastic grille is located in the rear. By the way it looks, I need a new bumper, and both of those plastic grille things are shot to hell. I would like replacements, but not sure how much it would cost. Could I get some help on this, too? Or should I just take it to a Hyundai dealer and have them fix that?

well, you can get a aem CAI(cold air intake) from ebay for about 180. that is the cheapest you will find a new one though. you can always get one off ebay that just replicaztes and costs 40 bucks, but fitment may not be perfect. either way, i would get an aem bypass valve, to make sure your cai doesnt suck up any water from the road and give your engine hydrolock. a newer catback system will definately help gain you some power. the MBRP cat back is prolly the best one for our cars.

check out the forums at www.rdtiburon.com.

there is a possible group buy for MBRP catbacks right now in the group buy section. i am the same tibby01 on that forum too. it is specifically for our model tiburon(the "RD" tiburon), and everyone is a great help.
