Product Description

The K&N 33-2451 is a high-flow, washable drop-in panel air filter designed for a broad range of Hyundai and Kia compact models from 2010 through 2019, including the Tucson, Elantra, Elantra Coupe, Elantra GT, Sportage, Forte, Forte Koup, and Forte5. Spanning engines from the 1.6L through 2.4L L4 family, this filter covers multiple platforms sharing the same airbox configuration across both brands. Built with multiple layers of precision-oiled cotton gauze between aluminum wire mesh screens, it delivers significantly more airflow than the restrictive OEM paper filter while maintaining up to 99% filtration efficiency - resulting in improved throttle response and measurable horsepower gains.

Installation is a straightforward drop-in - remove the factory filter and place the K&N directly into the existing airbox with no tools or modifications needed. With a service interval of once every 75,000 miles and K&N's 10-Year/Million Mile Warranty, the 33-2451 is a long-term, cost-effective performance upgrade for Hyundai and Kia compact owners across multiple model lines and drivetrains.
