Hi there. I own a 2015 2.0l sedan ex and have been looking for some what inexpensive intake option. I've tried the diy SRI with the k&n on the end of the stock tube. And even went as far as making my own custom heat shield to block off the cone filter. I loved the sound but noticed a slight power loss which I didn't like as much.
Here is a picture of what I have now
So I've been searching for a inexpensive cold air option. I was thinking a cheap eBay cold air for the elantra would do the trick. The engine bays look basically identical to me. Has anyone been down this road before? Here is a link to the pipe I'm thinking of trying http://m.ebay.ca/itm/for-11-13-ELAN...TION-KIT-FILTER-BLUE-/371178048590?nav=SEARCH
Please let me know what you guys think. Like I said I'm not sure if this option has been ruled out or not. I tired searching but couldn't find anything.
I am also having a hard time finding any CAI options for the 2.0L. The one that you linked says it is for the 1.8L engine. Injen makes one for Kia Forte 1.8L and 1.6T but not for the 2.0L so I am not sure if that one would fit either. Seems like doing a custom job may be the only way for right now. The only intake option I have come across for our 2.0L is the K&N Typhoon but that is a SRI setup like the one you have. I have the same except with no sheild. Just the pod filter. Love the sound so I deal with the small drop in performance.
I can confirm that it does fit the 2.0L. That pic is my car. Bought this CAI after hearing that it may work but had no confirmation. Fits perfectly and you can even follow the instructions step-by-step.
Been thinking about building a duel cone intake for my forte5.. dunno if the extra filter will actually help, i doubt it will, but it'll be one of a kind and stand alone lol
I finally got around to installing the Injen CAI on my car. I was going to take pictures and do a write-up, but honestly it's so easy to install I didn't think it was necessary. Just follow the FSM procedure for removing the front bumper cover (easy) along with the included instructions from Injen. It took me all of 45 minutes to install and test it.
Here are some pics I took that show before and after, along with all of the original intake system components that get removed.
