Performance Cold Air Intake System for 2011–2016 Hyundai & KIA 1.6L/1.8L – Optimized Airflow Velocity & Consistent Power Gains
Ensure your Accent, Veloster, Elantra, or Rio's maximized airflow and engine performance boost with this precision-engineered cold air intake system. Engineered specifically for the 1.6L and 1.8L 4-Cylinder engines, this kit replaces the restrictive factory air box that often limits the potential of your vehicle during daily commuting or highway merging. By utilizing lightweight T-304 aluminum piping to optimize the way your engine breathes, this system provides the cooler, denser air charge needed for improved combustion efficiency and a more capable driving experience.
The factory intake components are designed for silence over speed, often creating bottlenecks that restrict the engine's ability to breathe under load. Cooler air carries more oxygen, which translates into a more intense explosion in the combustion chamber to create more horsepower and torque. This system utilizes a high-flow aluminum induction tube that effectively reduces air turbulence and heat retention, allowing your engine to act as a more efficient air pump and providing a performance increase of up to 10% throughout the entire RPM range.
