If you're looking to give your Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima from 2011 to 2014 a serious boost, the AEM Cold Air Intake System is a solid choice. This isn't just about looks; it’s about getting more power out of your engine. By ditching that restrictive factory airbox, you’re letting your engine breathe a whole lot better. And trust me, when it comes to performance, every little bit counts.

What’s cool about this setup is that it relocates the air filter outside of the engine compartment. This means cooler, denser air gets fed into the engine. Cooler air has more oxygen, which translates to a more powerful combustion process. You can expect around a 7 horsepower gain at about 3900 RPM, which is pretty impressive for an easy bolt-on upgrade.

The AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter is a standout feature. It’s designed for high airflow and excellent filtration, and the best part? No oiling is required, so cleaning it is a breeze. Just rinse it off, let it dry, and you’re good to go. The mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube is not just for show; it helps keep the airflow smooth and reduces intake temperatures, which can make a difference in performance.

Features

  • Air Filter Color: Red
  • Air Filter Height: 5.125 in (130 mm)
  • Air Filter Material: Non-woven Synthetic
  • Estimated Horsepower Gain: 7 HP @ 3900 RPM
  • Intake Pipe Material: Aluminum
  • Weight: 8.1 lb (3.7 kg)
  • Warranty: Limited Lifetime
  • Street Legal in All US States: No (not legal for sale or use in California)

Just a heads up, if you’re in California, you won’t be able to use this intake due to emissions regulations. But for the rest of us, this system is a great way to enhance your ride without breaking the bank. Plus, it comes with all the necessary mounting hardware, so installation is straightforward.

Overall, if you’re serious about squeezing out some extra power and improving your engine's sound, the AEM Cold Air Intake System is worth considering. It’s a no-nonsense upgrade that gets the job done.

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.
