Short Ram Air Intake For Hyundai Elantra (2004-2006) with 2.0L Engine

Optimize G4GC Volumetric Efficiency: High-Flow Intake for 2004-2006 Hyundai Elantra

Who It’s For: Engineered for 2004-2006 Hyundai Elantra owners running the G4GC Beta II powerplant who are tired of the stock sluggishness and want to hear their engine actually breathe.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the G4GC is designed for silence and cost-efficiency, not performance. It utilizes a convoluted path of corrugated plastic and heavy baffles that create massive air turbulence before the oxygen even reaches the throttle body. This restrictive design causes a noticeable delay in throttle response, making the Elantra feel breathless when you’re trying to merge into highway traffic or pull away from a stoplight.

The Engineering Fix: This short ram system replaces that restrictive plumbing with a lightweight, mandrel-bent T-304 aluminum tube that provides a direct, smooth path for high-velocity air. By eliminating the factory resonator box and accordion-style tubing, we significantly reduce parasitic drag and increase air density entering the combustion chamber. The result is a sharper throttle snap, a 7-10% increase in horsepower, and a deeper, more mechanical induction roar that the stock plastic box completely muffles.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Enhanced Torque Delivery: By smoothing out the intake charge, this kit provides a 6-8% bump in torque, specifically helping the G4GC pull harder through the low and mid-range RPM bands.
• Thermal Efficiency & Filtration: The kit includes a high-flow, washable cone filter that increases surface area for filtration while maintaining higher CFM (cubic feet per minute) than the standard paper panel filters.
• Durable Construction: Built from polished T-304 aluminum, this pipe won’t crack or degrade like the OEM rubber boots, ensuring a lifetime of consistent performance and a much cleaner engine bay aesthetic.
