2015 to 2016 Hyundai Sonata 2.0L and KIA Optima AEM Air Intake Makes Power
- Jan 9, 2015
For 2015 Hyundai introduced the seventh generation Hyundai Sonata. Both of these cars come standard with a 2.4-liter Theta GDI direct injection engine, however select trims such as the Sport, Limited and SX models have an available 2.0L turbo engine. The 2.0L Theta Turbo engine makes for a fun to drive 2015 Hyundai Sonata yet some owners are looking to add more power. Probably one of the best upgrades for the money is a cold air intake system from AEM. By reducing air intake tract restriction, and turbulence, an AEM cold air intake is able to increase horsepower, torque, acceleration, and provide better engine sound without requiring additional modifications or tuning.
The 2015 and 2016 Hyundai Sonata and 2016 KIA Optima 2.0L Theta Turbo AEM cold air intake system 21-739C replaces the restrictive stock air filter box and air intake tubes with a charcoal gray powder coated aluminum air intake tube and a non-oiled AEM Dryflow air filter. The mandrel bent aluminum cold air intake tube and heat shield is finished with a durable powder coat finish to provide long lasting good looks. The air intake tube, and heat shield combined with an AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter, number 21-209DK, allows the AEM CAI for 2015 Sonata models to deliver high airflow, excellent filtration, and improved performance. The combination of design features used for the 2015 and 2016 Hyundai Sonata and 2016 KIA Optima Theta Turbo AEM cold air intake system helps to improve horsepower and torque delivery in a very usable RPM range compared to the factory air filter box system. On the dyno, a 2015 and 2016 Hyundai Sonata and 2016 KIA Optima 2.0L Theta Turbo equipped with AEM CAI 21-739C made an estimated additional 8.0 horsepower and a very beneficial 12 lb-ft more torque at a commonly used 3,600 RPM . In addition to increasing horsepower, lowering air intake tract restriction and increasing airflow will improve acceleration, drivability, and give your Sonata a sportier engine sound.
