Chrome Cold Air Intake Kit for Kia Rio (2012-2015) with 1.6L 4-Cylinder Engine

Sharpen Throttle Response: High-Flow Intake for the Gamma GDI Engine Family

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Kia Rio, Hyundai Veloster, and Hyundai Accent owners running the 1.6L Gamma GDI engine. If you’re looking to wake up your daily driver or add some much-needed induction sound to your GDI-powered commuter, this is the first modification you should make.

The Problem: The Gamma GDI engine is a stout little powerplant, but the factory air box is a maze of plastic baffles and restrictive piping designed purely for silence. This creates significant air turbulence and heat soak, which leaves the 1.6L feeling sluggish during merging and mid-range acceleration.

The Solution: We engineered this kit to replace that restrictive factory plumbing with smooth-bore T304 aluminum. By providing a more direct path to the throttle body, we’ve corrected the factory design flaws of the Gamma engine, delivering reliable performance and a much more aggressive engine note under load.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Induction Flow: Increases horsepower and torque by up to 10% by reducing vacuum restriction in the intake tract.
• T304 Aluminum Construction: Lightweight, mandrel-bent piping dissipates heat faster than stock plastic and provides a permanent solution against cracking or warping.
• True Bolt-On Design: Engineered for a perfect fit using factory mounting points. Installation typically takes less than 60 minutes with basic hand tools.
