I dont think they make a cold air intake or headers for kia sportages. but instead of headers you might want to go with a performance muffler or just straight pipes, haha. and for the cold air intake if you get the right size tubing and some rubber clamps you can make your own and just put a cone filter on the end of it.

I dont think that you are going to get a much better location for cold air draw than the stock location...I was climbing over the front the other day when the snorkel really sucked my shirt in. Try looking for a foam filter maybe? Headers? why bother? This 2.0 liter isn't going to flow out any better than the shorty type headers they come with with-out a whole lot of custom intake changes or forced induction. If you are going that far get a different engine swapped into there. Opening the exhaust up makes MUCH better sense...Starting with the cat and going on. But i am afraid what that might do to the before and after cat O2 sensor arrangement???

That's funny you should say that: I was just thinking the same thing. Actually, a minute ago, I was wondering how much shoe-horning I would have to do to fit a GM 4.3L in there.

TH350 or 700R4 probably. I have adapters for both to mate them to Dana 300 or Dana 18 T-cases. Very likely the TH350 with a Dana 300. 350s are a dime a dozen here.
