High-Flow Cold Air Intake System for 2017-2019 Hyundai Elantra 2.0L (AD Chassis)
The AD generation Elantra is a solid daily driver, but the 2.0L Nu engine often feels sluggish off the line. This isn't the engine's fault; it's the factory intake. Hyundai designed the stock system with a restrictive resonator box and a ribbed "accordion" tube that creates turbulence to prioritize silence over performance.
This Cold Air Intake Kit deletes those restrictions. By replacing the jagged rubber hose with mandrel-bent aluminum piping, we straighten the airflow path directly into the throttle body. Whether you drive the Automatic or the Manual, this setup fits perfectly because both transmissions share the same 2.0L engine architecture. You get rid of the "economy car" delay and gain a throttle that actually listens when you need to pass.
Why You Need This Upgrade
- Throttle Response: Eliminates the turbulence caused by the stock corrugated tube, removing that "dead pedal" feeling when accelerating.
- Usable Power: Delivers a dyno-proven gain of 5–8 HP and 5–8 lb-ft of torque for stronger pulls through the mid-range.
- Engine Acoustics: Unlocks a deep, sporty growl under heavy acceleration while remaining quiet during cruising.
- Maintenance Free: Features a dry, washable filter that requires no oiling, protecting your MAF sensor from contamination.

DIY Guide: Cold Air Intake for Hyundai Elantra (2017-2019) 2.0L Engine for 2017-2019 Hyundai Elantra 2.0L
Required Tools
- 10mm Socket & Ratchet with 6-inch Extension
- 8mm Nut Driver or Flathead Screwdriver (for worm-gear clamps)
- Slip-Joint Pliers (for factory spring clamp)
The 2.0L Nu engine uses a speed-density MAP system rather than a tube-mounted MAF sensor, making this swap plug-and-play. However, do not lose the factory 10mm lower airbox mounting bolts—you will reuse one to anchor the supplied metal support bracket so the intake pipe does not vibrate against the chassis.
Phase 1: Factory Component Removal
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal using a 10mm socket to reset the ECU fuel trims.
- Use pliers to compress the spring clamp on the crankcase breather hose at the valve cover, then pull the hose free from the factory intake tube.
- Loosen the 10mm hose clamp securing the ribbed factory intake boot to the throttle body.
- Unbolt the two 10mm bolts holding the factory airbox to the lower chassis mount, then lift the entire OEM airbox and accordion tube assembly out of the engine bay.
Phase 2: Aftermarket Installation
- Slide the supplied black silicone reducer coupler over the throttle body with the two stainless worm-gear clamps loosely positioned, then snug the throttle body clamp using an 8mm nut driver.
- Insert the polished aluminum intake pipe into the silicone coupler and loosely attach the provided flat metal mounting strap from the lower chassis mounting point to secure the pipe’s position.
- Push the supplied black rubber breather hose onto the aluminum intake pipe’s nipple and connect the opposite end to the engine valve cover breather port.
- Mount the open-element red pleated cone filter with its chrome top cap onto the end of the polished tube, verify clearance around the radiator fan shroud, and tighten all worm-gear clamps and bracket bolts securely.
