This aFe POWER Pro 5R is a 7-1/2” tall, pre-oiled, 360-degree radial flow performance air filter with five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze media for maximum performance. It provides your engine with the largest amount of high-flowing air, usually resulting in the highest power gains out of all our filter media options. This media is perfect for street and/or track use. Its inverted top makes for more filter surface area, resulting in more flow and longer service intervals. The included massive air filter is surrounded by an open-element XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) polymer housing that minimizes warm engine air for maximum performance. Its open design allows for easy viewing of the air filter, yet creates a heat-blocking seal when the vehicle's hood is closed.
I love this cold air intake kit. It looks great under the hood, and it does allow for a tiny bit of BOV noise (if you delete the intercooler resonator somehow it'll be even louder). I knocked off a star because fit was a bit awkward. Getting everything aligned was a bit of a task, but once everything was tightened down and in place, it looked great and it's staying put. I have driven about 5k miles since I installed. I like that it draws cool air from in front of the radiator. It makes the intake tube feel cool to the touch after a drive. I feel there is added power in the lower to mid RPM range on the stock tune. This 1.6T has benefited from anything I've modded to allow for more airflow. My car is a 2018 Elantra Sport. At the time of this mod, other engine performance mods include 2nd cat delete, hot side pipe, and Veloster N lower motor mount. This kit does work with the ES-one strut brace but is very close. At start-up the two clunk together a bit just from the engine shaking. I'm deciding between wrapping the intake tube in header tape or just putting a piece of automotive type foam between them.
Not perfect for the price, but noticable improvement in throttle response.
It arrived quickly and nothing was missing.
The installation was very easy but somehow the hood doesn't close properly when using the isolation strip provided in the kit that goes on top of the housing.
I ended up using fuel line cut open to place around the top of the air box which works a lot better than what was provided. There's still a miniscule gap barely noticeable but way better than the full 1.5cm gap that the provided part caused.
As for performance, only the throttle response improved but the car doesn't feel any faster.
*IMPORTANT! If you are looking for the typical turbo spool sound, this intake is not for you. When the hood is closed and the airbox sealed, there's barely any noise apart from a mean growl under load (almost like ITBs).
