Product Description

The AEM 21-873C Cold Air Intake System is engineered specifically for **2019-2022 Hyundai Veloster N** models equipped with the **2.0 L turbocharged inline-four engine**. This performance intake system replaces the restrictive factory air intake with a tuned mandrel-bent aluminum tube and an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter to draw in more cool, dense air. Enhanced airflow helps improve throttle response and supports gains of approximately **10.07 HP and 14.19 lb-ft of torque** under optimized conditions compared to the stock intake setup.

Featuring a washable and reusable Dryflow air filter that does **not require oil**, the 21-873C offers long service intervals of up to ~100,000 miles between cleanings depending on driving conditions. The included heat shield with lid helps reduce intake air temperatures by protecting the filter from engine heat, contributing to more efficient combustion. Installation is straightforward with the supplied hardware, clamps, and coupler for a direct bolt-on upgrade. Note that this intake is generally **not legal for sale or use in California** or other states adopting California emissions standards without confirmed 50-state approval - always verify local requirements before purchase.
