If you're looking to give your Hyundai Elantra a little extra oomph, the AEM 21-718C Performance Cold Air Intake System is a solid choice. This isn't just another aftermarket part; it's been designed and dyno-tested specifically for the Elantra, so you know it's going to fit right and work well. By swapping out that restrictive factory air filter and intake housing, you can expect some real gains in horsepower and torque. We're talking about an estimated 5 HP increase at around 2605 RPM, which can make a noticeable difference in your daily drive.

What’s cool about this system is the oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. It’s not just about airflow; it’s about keeping the dirt out, too. Plus, it’s located in the driver-side wheel well, which helps to lower the intake air temperature. Cooler air means better performance, and who doesn’t want that? The filter itself is oil-free and can go up to 100,000 miles before needing a clean, depending on your driving habits.

The intake tubing is made from durable mandrel-bent aluminum and comes in a sleek gunmetal gray powder-coated finish. It’s not just for looks; the design helps maintain airflow efficiency. And don’t worry about emissions; this system has been developed to work with your car’s factory emissions control devices, so you can feel good about upgrading without compromising your ride’s compliance.

AEM backs this system with a limited lifetime warranty, which is a nice peace of mind. Just a heads up, though: some states, including California, have specific regulations, so double-check the legal status for your vehicle. Overall, if you're serious about boosting your Elantra's performance, this cold air intake system is a worthwhile investment.

Whether you are part of a professional race team or just like to push your car to the limit, an AEM intake system is a welcome addition to your vehicle.

What Is an AEM Cold Air Intake System?

An AEM cold air intake system is specifically designed to increase the volume of cold air flowing into your engine as you drive. The thinking behind this is that cold air is much denser than warm air. Therefore, if there is more cold air in your engine, there is more air in general, which also means that there is more oxygen. A higher amount of oxygen present in a car engine increases the potency of combustion, which can increase the power and efficiency of your engine.

What Are the Benefits of an AEM Intake System?

An AEM intake kit maximizes the amount of power you can get from your engine. This increase in power will also help you conserve fuel and increase your fuel efficiency, saving you money at the gas station. In a sense, an AEM intake system helps your car and engine “breathe” more efficiently, allowing it to reach its full potential.

Why Should I Choose an AEM Intake Kit?

AEM is regarded as one of the best aftermarket intake systems on the market, combining quality materials, cutting-edge technology and reliable design to help drivers around the globe improve the power of their engine. All AEM cold air intake systems are engineered to increase your car’s torque and horsepower, and any AEM intake kit comes with a lifetime limited warranty.
