Stay away from chips. They're junk and offer no performance boost.

I've purchased the larger diameter front and rear sway bars offered on 2009 and 2010 Sonata with 3.3 and suspension package. Also installed fresh air intake and box from 2009 Sonata with 3.3, and installed K&N air filter 33-2346. Intake has a more direct route to throttle body and not around battery as with previous models. Would have to purchase these items from dealership. If interested, I can submit part numbers. K&N also offers oil filter cartridge PS-7022 for 3.3 application (link below);

Update: FRAM now manufactures a synthetic oil filter cartridge for 06 - 2010 Sonata 3.3, FRAM Ultra Synthetic oil filter XG9999. I know it's FRAM however, reviews have been positive (links to photos below);

silvershark78, some information about the Hyundai 3.3 engine;

The Hyundai Lambda engine family is Hyundai's modern all-aluminum V6. All versions of this engine use a timing chain. The 3.3 L G6DB version was introduced with the 2006 Sonata. It produces 237–264 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 230 lb·ft of torque at 3,500 rpm depending on

year and application. The 3.3 L G6DH version was introduced with the 2012 Azera. It offers GDI and dual CVVT. The engine produces 294 hp (219 kW; 298 PS) at 6,400 rpm and 255 lb·ft (346 N·m) of torque at 5,200 rpm.

You can easily upgrade the intake and exhaust with universal components also.

Unfortunately, there isn't any aftermarket RAM / CAI for 2006 - 2010 Sonata 3.3 V6. Weapon R manufactures one that goes from air box to throttle body. Might as well just keep OEM air intake. Here's a link to discussion on cold air intake;

Hello members,

I've been searching for a quality one piece non adjustable strut tower brace for 06 - 2010 Hyundai Sonata with 3.3 V6. However, none are available.

I've contacted Kyle Millen at Stillen Performance. They are interested in producing one piece strut brace for 06 -2010 Sonata 3.3 however, would like to see what demand is before committing to project.

So, all that are interested, please send e-mail to Kyle at;

kmillen@stillen.com

Include Hyundai Sonata strut brace in subject line and include https://www.hyundaiaftermarket.org in body. For example;

As per posting on https://www.hyundaiaftermarket.org, I'm interested in seeing strut brace produced for the 06 -2010 Sonata with 3.3 engine.

Hopefully enough interest will be generated to have one produced!

Thanks in advance, to all members for taking the time to view.

Would anyone know what the dimension is of throttle body opening on 3.3 V6 (64mm)? I believe throttle body is "drive by wire" (cable not used to operate opening and closing of butterfly).
