what is the warranty on the exhaust? i figured i would wait for it to fail and replace with aftermarket - hopefully it doesn't fail for a long time - but i won't do anything until the warranty is up....

sure have, I replaced the factory front muffler with a flowmaster 40 series...still have the stock resonators on the rear...I was look at the same thing...better sound and gas mileage...still a little quiet with the stock res's but breathes eaiser...if u r going to make it less restrictive i suggest that u change the stock air box to a cold air intake...i did this also...man what a difference...gas mileage increased by about 15% not sure about the hp...gonna replace the stock cat with a high flow next month. I have a 07 Limited 2wd...very happy with it and will be happier once finished with the basics mods...I plan on drpng the suspension with springs, adding body kit, went to a smaller rim size and different tire...didn't like the OEM tire and wheel pkg...18s with Bridgestone Dualer HT 235/60/18...new shoes r perillie 235/17/55 and did they make a big difference in the ride quality...send me an email and I'll provide pic of what I have done...u can find aftermarket parts at koreanautoparts.com...as far as the warranty chk with the rep and not the dealership.

Hi: I would like to see some pics of your Santa Fe and the lowered springs as we are considering doing exactly that. We have HID lights and what a difference over the stock ones. Also going to take the roof rack bars off as we never use them.
Thanks

np45,
You mentioned that replacing the stock air box with a cold air intake increased gas mileage by 15%. Can you let me know the one you chose?
I have the same vehicle as yours. I had always thought the cold air intake was to increase power, but if it also increased mpg that would be great.
Thanks.

Orzecap,
seeing the there is really nothing the you can buy that really fits is had to buy off the shelf products. Got all my parts from Advance Auto...in my configuration I used 2 45 and 1 90 degree, 2 6 inch, 1 4 inch chrome with the adpter for vacuum lines. Seeing that these are plastic I drilled a 1/2 hole and used a rubber gromet with a 5/8 inch house barb to attach the recirc gas hose after removing the airbox. Chk my pics out to see the config. the mileage that I am getting at the moment (today) and by the computer is 23.8 city and that is with the A/C going from time to time....it's been hot here in SC. I haven't had the chance to put it on hwy yet after getting everything the way I wanted it. So I expect to get at least 27 to 28 on the hwy maybe more. I'll keep you posted. Gonna remove the resonators in a couple of wks after I get some resonated exhaust tips and a performace cat to see what kind of mileage and performance I get then. ...this is a work in progress so bear with me.

'08 Sante Fe sunroof wind deflector

I've been unable to locate an '08 Sante Fe sunroof wind deflector. The dealer says Hyundai does not offer a wind deflector for the Sante Fe. I've been able to locate deflectors for the '01-'06 models, but not for the '07 or '08 Sante Fe. Anyone have a sunroof wind deflector for the new model Sante Fe's?
Please respond. Thanks.
