Cold Air Intake for Hyundai Tiburon (2003-2007) 2.7L Engine - Red

The GK Tiburon has always had the looks of a sports coupe, but in stock form, that 2.7L V6 is practically whispering. You know the chassis is capable of more, but the factory intake system—loaded with restrictive baffles and heavy plastic resonators—is choking off the engine's potential. It's time to let the Delta V6 breathe and give your Tiburon the induction growl it actually deserves.

Performance Cold Air Intake Induction Kit for Hyundai Tiburon (2.7L Delta V6)

If you have spent any time under the hood of your 2.7L Tiburon, you know the struggle with the OEM airbox. Hyundai designed the factory intake tract to be as quiet as possible, prioritizing silence over airflow. This results in a convoluted path for the air to travel, causing turbulence and throttle lag. By the time the air hits the manifold, it's hot and moving slowly. This T304 aluminum Cold Air Intake system deletes the restrictive factory plumbing, providing a direct, smooth path for cool air to enter the engine.

The difference isn't just on the dyno sheet; it's in the pedal feel. By replacing the accordion-style rubber hoses and the factory filter box with mandrel-bent aluminum piping and a high-flow conical filter, you sharpen the throttle response immediately. The 2.7L Delta engine is known for being bulletproof, but it feels lazy in stock trim. This upgrade wakes it up, allowing the engine to rev more freely and pull harder toward the redline. You get the functional benefit of cooler, denser air, which translates to consistent power delivery.

Then there is the sound. The 2.7L V6 actually has a fantastic, throaty exhaust note hidden away. This intake unlocks that deep induction roar under wide-open throttle (WOT) while keeping things civilized during cruising. It transforms the driving experience from a commuter car to a proper tuner platform. Plus, the polished aluminum piping cleans up the engine bay significantly, replacing acres of dull black plastic with a show-ready finish.

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Unrestrictive Airflow: Replaces the convoluted factory air box and resonator system for a direct air path.
• Verified Power Gains: engineered to boost horsepower and torque by up to 10% by optimizing the air-to-fuel mixture.
• Aggressive Sound: Unlocks a deep, sporty induction tone that the stock silencers mute.
• Throttle Response: Eliminates the "lag" associated with the stock rubber intake tubes.
• Lifetime Maintenance: Features a washable, reusable filter (clean every 50,000 miles) so you stop throwing money at paper filters.
• Heat Dissipation: T304 lightweight aluminum piping dissipates heat faster than stock plastic components.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward and typically takes under an hour with basic hand tools (screwdrivers, socket wrenches). You will need to remove the factory air box assembly completely. Crucial Step: As recommended, disconnect your battery terminal before starting the install and leave it disconnected for a few minutes. This resets the ECU, forcing the computer to "re-learn" the new airflow parameters immediately upon startup, ensuring you get the maximum performance benefit right away without waiting for a drive cycle.
