Cold Air Intake for Hyundai Elantra Base/GLS (1996-2000) 1.8L/2.0L Engines

Elevate Your Drive: Cold Air Intake for Hyundai Elantra & Tiburon 1.8L/2.0L Beta I Engines

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Hyundai Elantra (1996-2000) and Tiburon (1997-2001) owners running the potent 1.8L or 2.0L Beta I engine, whether you’re chasing improved daily driving dynamics or prepping for a weekend cruise.

The Problem: The factory airbox on your Beta I engine is a notorious bottleneck. It’s designed for quiet operation and cost-efficiency, not optimal airflow. This restrictive design often leads to heat soak, where hot engine bay air is drawn in, robbing your engine of power, especially during spirited driving or in warmer climates. You’re leaving horsepower and torque on the table that the Beta I is capable of producing.

The Solution: Our performance Cold Air Intake system is engineered to fundamentally address these factory limitations. By replacing the restrictive OEM airbox with a direct, high-flow path and positioning the filter to draw in cooler, denser ambient air, this intake maximizes volumetric efficiency. You’ll experience a noticeable boost in horsepower and torque, sharper throttle response, and a more aggressive engine note that perfectly complements the character of your Elantra or Tiburon.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Instant Performance Gains: Expect an immediate increase of up to 10% in both horsepower and torque. By feeding your engine cooler, denser air, this intake allows your Beta I to breathe more efficiently, translating directly into better acceleration and more usable power across the RPM range.
• Superior Durability & Filtration: Crafted from lightweight, corrosion-resistant T304 aluminum piping, this intake is built to last. The included washable and reusable performance air filter offers exceptional filtration to protect your engine, requiring cleaning only every 50,000 miles under normal driving conditions, saving you money on disposable filters.
• Effortless Installation & Perfect Fit: Engineered as a direct-fit replacement for your factory air filter and intake tube, installation is straightforward. With basic hand tools, most enthusiasts can complete the upgrade in less than 60 minutes, getting you back on the road and enjoying the benefits sooner. It’s also designed not to void your vehicle’s warranty.
