AEM Induction 21-848C Cold Air Intake System for 2015 Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima 2.4L

This Performance Air Intake System allows your engine to breathe more air compared to the restrictive factory air intake housing. It is designed, tuned and dyno-tested to produce more horsepower and torque. Air enters the system through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter for outstanding air flow, filtration and performance. The air intake tube is constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum featuring a durable gunmetal gray powder coated finish. A custom shaped heat shield with lid is included. The tapered cylinder shaped AEM Dryflow air filter is made from an oil-free, synthetic filter media that can be used for up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed (depending on driving conditions). This Air Intake System is backed by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty. Some AEM air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards, while others are 50 state legal. View the vehicle applications to determine the legal status for each vehicle. AEM's Performance Cold Air Intake Systems are designed, tuned and dyno-tested to give your engine more power and acceleration by replacing the restrictive factory air filter, air intake tubing and air box assembly.

Upgrade the airflow and performance of your 2015 Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima with the AEM Induction 21-848C Performance Cold Air Intake System. Designed, tuned, and dyno-tested to replace the restrictive factory air filter, intake tubing, and air box assembly, this system helps your 2.4L four-cylinder engine breathe more efficiently for improved horsepower, torque, throttle response, and acceleration.

The intake uses a tapered, cylinder-shaped AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter with washable, reusable, oil-free filter media.

A mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube with a durable gunmetal gray powder-coated finish provides strength and consistent airflow, while the custom-shaped heat shield with lid helps isolate the filter from hot engine-bay air.
