Our take on the AEM C.A.S 21-22 KIA K5 L4-1.6L F/I Cold Air Intake

AEM's cold air intake replaces the factory airbox on the 1.6L turbo Kia K5 and Hyundai Sonata with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube, a heat shield with lid, and an oil-free Dryflow synthetic filter. AEM says the system is dyno-tuned for more horsepower and torque, and the filter can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings. It suits owners who want a bolt-on intake with a reusable filter and a factory-looking gunmetal finish. Against rivals, the oil-free filter and included heat shield are the main draws; open-element intakes without a shield typically heat-soak more in traffic.

About the AEM C.A.S 21-22 KIA K5 L4-1.6L F/I Cold Air Intake

This cold air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air intake housing so the engine can breathe more air. It is designed, tuned and dyno-tested to produce more horsepower and torque.

Air enters through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. The tapered, cylinder-shaped filter uses an oil-free synthetic media. It can go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed, depending on driving conditions.

The intake tube is mandrel-bent aluminum with a durable gunmetal gray powder-coated finish. A custom-shaped heat shield with lid is included.

Questions and answers

Does it fit the K5 GT with the 2.5L engine?
No. It is listed for the 1.6L turbo only: K5 EX, GT-Line, LX and LXS from 2021 to 2023. The 2.5L GT uses a different intake.
Will it fit a Hyundai Sonata?
Yes, on 2020-2023 Sonata 1.6L turbo Limited and SEL Plus trims. Other Sonata engines are not covered.
Do I need to oil the filter?
No. The Dryflow filter is oil-free synthetic media. Clean and reinstall it dry.
How often does the filter need cleaning?
AEM says up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. Dusty or dirty driving shortens that.
Is a tune required?
No tune is required. The system is designed to work with the stock calibration, though a tune can extract more from it.
What is in the box?
The intake tube, heat shield with lid, Dryflow filter and mounting hardware. Check the listing for the exact parts list.
