Cold Air Intake for Hyundai Accent (2012-2013) 1.6L L4 Engine Red

Optimize Airflow and Induction Sound for Your Hyundai Accent Gamma GDI

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2012-2013 Hyundai Accent owners running the 1.6L Gamma GDI engine who want more urgency from their throttle and a more aggressive engine note under load.

The Problem: The Gamma GDI engine is a high-compression, direct-injected powerplant that is often choked by the restrictive factory airbox. Hyundai designed the stock intake with heavy baffles and resonators to prioritize silence over efficiency. This creates turbulence and limits the volume of oxygen reaching the intake manifold, which is why your Accent can feel sluggish or "flat" in the mid-to-high RPM range.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to eliminate the factory bottlenecks. By replacing the baffled plastic tubing with lightweight, mandrel-bent T304 aluminum and a high-flow cone filter, we provide a direct, high-velocity path for cold air. This correction to the factory design delivers more consistent air density, allowing the Gamma GDI to reach its factory-rated potential while providing a crisp, sporty growl that the stock airbox hides.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Induction Performance: By smoothing out the intake path, you can see gains in horsepower and torque of up to 10%, particularly noticeable when merging or passing on the highway.
• T304 Aluminum Construction: Unlike the factory plastic which can heat-soak or crack over time, our T304 aluminum piping is lightweight and durable, finished in a high-temp Red coating for a custom engine bay look.
• Maintenance-Free Filtration: The included high-flow filter is fully washable and reusable. Under normal driving conditions, it only requires cleaning every 50,000 miles, making it the last filter you’ll ever buy for this car.

The Performance Promise

Expert Tip: After installation, we recommend disconnecting your battery terminal for 10 minutes. This forces the ECU to reset its long-term fuel trims and "learn" the increased air volume from your new intake for the best possible results. Buy with confidence knowing this kit is a bolt-on solution that requires no permanent modifications to your vehicle.
