anyone know of any good intakes for 09 elantra? i know im pretty limited on parts right now cause of the year of the car, but even if there arent ones made especially for the elantra are there any others that i can custom fit onto it and have it work correctly still? I did find a few, but idk much about intakes so any help is appreciated.

this seems to be one of the only ones that actually says it fits an 09, atleast the only one i found. says 07 intake but in the description it says it fits 07-09.

suggestions on others would be great. Like i said i dont know much about intakes, but i noticed some seem to add twice as much power as others, is it just the make of the intake or what? saw some come with whole kits and some come with just the pipe/filter. does that really make a diff?

Thanks again for any help smile.gif

 

Last I knew, intakes for this car were non existent because of problems keeping the ECU cool when the stock air box was removed. I would try and find someone that has this installed and see if they have had any CEL issues with it.

 

well i was just at the dealership 2 weeks ago and spoke to them about putting a cold air intake on my 08 elantra. hyundai makes a cold air intake for the 08 tiburon. the dealership said they could put it on the elantra and it would not void the warranty. they did say any other aftermarket intake will void the warranty. the dealership wanted 264.00 for the intake itself plus installation fees. needless to say i walked away.

 

they have to prove whatever is broken was caused by the intake. They cannot void the entire warranty based off one part being installed. Now.. if the lack of cooling smokes the ECM, they are not going to replace the ECM.

 

anything else i can do to get just a little bit more power without voiding the warranty for about the same price? car is an auto btw

 

It's really not about power gain for an Elantra. If you can stay off the gas pedal because of the fun noise it makes, it may save you a couple MPG's, but that's about it.

 

anyone try an intake for 09 elantra yet? lol still looking into em but dont wanna waste the cash if its gunna fry my ECU

 

my random special worked for the big blue elantra(my old 07 hd)

didnt have a CEL but even if it did

removing it and throwing the stocker on would take 10 minutes

 

so basically even if it did manage to fry the ECU, i could just throw the stock airbox back on and bring it in to get fixed? or would they know i switched it?

 

how would they know?

would the computer pop a code saying CUSTOMER INSTALLED PERFORMANCE PARTS!!?!!?!!?@#@#$?%@#$
