If it makes you feel better the K&N version for the 2.0L is on my daughter's 22 GT-line and does very little. She loved the sound the K&N CAI made on her 2015 2.0 Forte but that car was not maf. It had a huge velocity stack diameter and made nice sound. The new model with the maf only allows a tiny little air filter inlet diameter and it makes almost no additional sounds. There is a slight growl but not noticeable from the interior.Signed,
Someone that's bummed it's so expensive and can't justify it, because intake noises are cool LOL
