Performance Cold Air Intake System for 2011–2013 Hyundai Veloster & Accent – 1.6L GDi Efficiency

This performance intake system is engineered to maximize the Veloster and Accent's volumetric efficiency. By replacing the restrictive factory air box with a high-velocity induction path, this kit allows the 1.6L GDi engine to draw in a larger volume of oxygen-rich air with significantly less effort. The result is a more energetic combustion cycle, providing crisper throttle sensitivity and more fluid acceleration, making the sporty character of these models feel even more pronounced during daily driving.

Made specifically for the 1.6L Gasoline Direct Injection platform, this upgrade unlocks hidden efficiency while maintaining the dependable nature of your vehicle. In addition to the performance boost, it grants your engine a deeper note under load and an estimated 2 MPG improvement in fuel economy, while the high-quality filtration system ensures the internal components stay protected and looking purpose-built.

Key Features & Performance Benefits

• Unrestricted Induction: Replaces narrow factory ducting with a high-flow pathway to satisfy the GDi engine’s demand for air.

• Instant Throttle Feedback: Eliminates the "laggy" feeling of the stock intake for more immediate power delivery.

• Enhanced Economy: Optimized airflow leads to more efficient combustion, providing an estimated gain of up to 2 MPG.

• Superior Filtration: High-flow air filter provides up to 95% filtration efficiency, outperforming the factory paper filter for better engine protection.
