If you're looking to give your Hyundai Elantra Sport a little more grunt, the AEM 21-817C Performance Cold Air Intake System is worth checking out. This isn’t just another aftermarket part; it’s designed specifically for the 2017-2018 Elantra Sport models. By ditching the factory air filter and intake housing—which, let’s be honest, can be pretty restrictive—you'll notice some solid gains in horsepower and torque. We're talking about an estimated boost of around 11 horsepower at 5400 RPM, which is a nice little perk when you want to feel that power on the road.

What sets this intake apart is the oversized cone-shaped AEM Dry Flow filter. It’s made from a synthetic material that doesn’t require oil, and you can go up to 100,000 miles before needing to clean it, depending on how you drive. That’s less time worrying about maintenance and more time enjoying the ride. Plus, the design puts the filter low and towards the front of the car, allowing it to scoop in cooler, denser air. Cooler air means better performance, and that’s what we’re all about.

The installation is pretty straightforward, too. The factory PCV and vent hoses mount right onto the intake tube using the existing spring clamps, so you won’t need to worry about any complicated setups. AEM backs this system with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, giving you peace of mind as you hit the road.

Just a heads up: if you're in California or states that follow California emissions standards, you’ll want to check the legal status of this intake for your vehicle, as some AEM intakes aren't street legal there. But for those in other states, you’re good to go!

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.
