As a builder/modifier that does everything based on science and hard numbers. It’s really respectable to see you here in the comments saying that you won’t feel the difference of an intake. 99% of people want to convince themselves it’s faster just because of the amount of money they’ve dropped on it. Modern designs come so close to peak efficiency out of the box that most bolt on mods just look and sound cool, and to me that’s usually enough reason to justify buying them
Is there a difference between the open top and the closed one? I honestly only want the intake sound and the spooling, but the heat shielding seems helpful.
Yes other than price some people have had issues with the open top one not sealing against the hood like it is supposed to. The sealed one is just a little louder than stock. If you want a lot of noise then the open top one is cheaper and the one you would like.
Justin Kelly thanks...out of the open or closed I would purchased the same...definitely want to get the velossa tech big mouth. Eventually for my GT N Line I want a tune not just for power and performance but more for the grunt out of the engine lol, the best mod I’ve done is the custom axle back with a flow master y pipe...race Pipe is next.
@@JustinKelly I have an Elantra GT n-line and I’m really debating on getting this intake, Though I’m not familiar with what the “plug” is and are there any downsides to taking it out versus leaving it in? Besides that I love the channel and look forward to seeing you continue to build the car!!
@@paulelliott6493 The only function the plug makes according to AFE is that it allows it to pull more air in (Some from the front and some through the plug) which may result in slightly more sound too. I still havent taken it out (Its rubber and takes 2 seconds lol) so I cant say if there is more sound or not but I am not sure you would feel the difference between having it in or out.
Great video. Slightly unrelated question: Do you know if anyone (Quaife, etc.) makes a good quality limited-slip differential upgrade for this car? To me, this would be a significant improvement for the Elantra GT N-Line.
I don't know but I did check on installation and that alone was $1700. Correct me if I'm wrong but lsd's only come into play when one of the wheels starts to slip right? So as long as you have traction to both tires power is still being delivered equally right?
Depends on how much is being caught and outside conditions. I would check it every week in cold weather and once a month in warmer weather to start. You can go longer than this typically but in the cold the condensation can catch up with you quickly and cause issues. Especially if you park outside and the water in the can freezes.
@@JustinKelly Did you get your bumper fixed? I just watched one of your older videos of you putting the snorkel intake on your old GT where you took off the bumper cover; replacing the N Line's shouldn't be any more difficult to take off?
Its an entirely different powertrain. The I30N uses the 2.0T and manual (or 8 speed DCT now) compared to the N Line 1.6T and manual or 7 speed DCT. Also the suspension or other aspects are very different while being similar.
@@JustinKelly thanks for the response. I will probably get an intake one day, right now I have a drop in filter from k&n. 20k miles later, I still love this car.
Just bought a 2019 Elantra GT base model. Can anyone tell me how I can add more horsepower and torque? It currently has 161 horsepower, and would love to reach at least 200.
@@JustinKelly that’s alright yeah I’m still stuck in warranty just thought get something simple help the car breather better as I heard the stock intakes on these 1.6t turbos are very restricted for air
@@Meniodakis Honestly I don't think the stock intake is restrictive at all. The filter is likely the point of restriction so a drop in K&N likely does just as much as the AFE system. It just doesn't look at cool 😎. The AFE tubes are around .5" wider so that helps too.
@@JustinKelly to be honest I had a drop in k&n filter and noticed nothing at all just noise the stock filter ran better only thing I noticed was louder turbo spool and smoother take off top end I felt lacked compared to stock paper filter Also after installing the k&n noticed the car bogged down on full throttle when I 1st did the install
@@Meniodakis Sometimes the ECU could use a soft reset for changing parts like this. Just take the negative terminal off for 10 minutes and it may help.

Hard to explain. Ebay UK is where I bought my spoiler. If you search for Hyundai I30 parts in the UK and Australia you can find parts and websites to buy from. Some ship overseas and some dont.
The catch can is a good maintenance item to have in general. It keeps the internals of the engine from getting as coated in carbon than without one. The intake does not require a catch can however.
does it give any power to the engine did you feel any difference ? cuz i am about to install aFe cold air intake to my 1.6T Hyundai elantra i go it few days ago i hope it work well

Nice can’t wait when you put a aftermarket bov on it in the future.
I did that months ago

@@JustinKelly Okay so I have to make the compromise of hot air... thanks a lot bro!
Do you have a video of what the intake sounds like?
I know I am kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Milan Alfonso I watch on FlixZone. Just google for it :)
@Grayson Elias yea, have been watching on Flixzone for since march myself =)
@Grayson Elias Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !!
@Milan Alfonso No problem =)
Have you had to clean the filter?
From looking at it do you have to remove everything to clean/change the filter?
No I haven't had it long enough to have to clean it
I've been wondering the same thing and want to know prior to purchase. Any updates J Kelly?
What does it sound like? Any difference...
Sounds just like stock honestly. Haven't had the plug out to see if its any louder.
Justin Kelly thanks...out of the open or closed I would purchased the same...definitely want to get the velossa tech big mouth.

Mine definitely makes more spooling sounds on the N-line. I take my plug out though

When should you be cleaning out the catch cans every oil change?
Depends on how much is being caught and outside conditions. I would check it every week in cold weather and once a month in warmer weather to start. You can go longer than this typically but in the cold the condensation can catch up with you quickly and cause issues. Especially if you park outside and the water in the can freezes.
Justin did you notice the 11hp and 10ft.lb of increase they claim? My purchase depends on it.
Honestly you will not feel that power difference in 99% of cars. If its there or not, only a dyno will say.
@@JustinKelly Did you get your bumper fixed? I just watched one of your older videos of you putting the snorkel intake on your old GT where you took off the bumper cover; replacing the N Line's shouldn't be any more difficult to take off?
@@teeztoyz I don't plan on fixing the crack before winter so I will patch it up once it comes off for the snorkel... soon 😁
Wath the best intake for my kona n line 2023 ??
Did I miss the info? Which catch can are you using?
I have an install video on the catch can
whats the difference between the elantra gt n line and the i30n? will some parts be interchangeable and others not?
Its an entirely different powertrain. The I30N uses the 2.0T and manual (or 8 speed DCT now) compared to the N Line 1.6T and manual or 7 speed DCT. Also the suspension or other aspects are very different while being similar.
Justin Kelly you think a body kit for the i30n will fit the Elantra n like? Matching clips might be a no go but fitment should work ?
@@jdttc1 Yes exactly. Clips would need to be added or custom fastened but it fits fine.
Does that ruin your warranty? Just curious before doing it on my N-Line
Nope! If you have a competent dealer then they shouldn't try to argue any issues that may arise. I have heard of some sketchy ones doing so though.

Unfortunately even with full bolt on and tune, I don't think it's possible to hit 200hp from that engine.
Noooo!! Lol. How much more power do you think I can add to the engine?
@@richiejclaud203 My guess would be something around 20-30hp at the most. I could be wrong.
Get a better car
Hi justin
Sorry got a random question what brand/Ron fuel do you use in your i30 elantra gt
I use Shell 93. It is comparable to some of the highest RON of overseas since Octane/RON is calculated differently.
@@JustinKelly
That’s good to know I have been using 98 premium just for budget which use mobil but everyone seems to be using shell vpower 98
So now that you have all these modifications are you going to tune the N-line? 😏
Time will tell but for now I am not
What’s the performance on this intake ? Currently have one on back order at the moment
Cool noises is really the only benefit without a tune. Maybe a tiny boost in power but you won't really feel it.
@@JustinKelly that’s alright yeah I’m still stuck in warranty just thought get something simple help the car breather better as I heard the stock intakes on these 1.6t turbos are very restricted for air

Only if you submarine your front end 🙂

Where did you go to find the European or Korean parts like the spoiler?
Hard to explain. Ebay UK is where I bought my spoiler. If you search for Hyundai I30 parts in the UK and Australia you can find parts and websites to buy from. Some ship overseas and some dont.
Do you plan to upgrade the interior? Seatbelts look good tho
@@JustinKelly Can you send me the link to the spoiler you have? It’s my next thing on my to-do list !
@@Tapanga-hf2us Part number is 87250S0000
does this void the warranty?
It should not
Is this compatible with the base 2018 GT?
No, however AFE makes one for the 2.0 engine.
Do you have a link for the 2.0?

Will I need an oil catch can if I get this intake?
The catch can is a good maintenance item to have in general. It keeps the internals of the engine from getting as coated in carbon than without one. The intake does not require a catch can however.
Thanks bro Subscribed
What tools were needed here?
Just a couple sockets, extension, and a flat head screwdriver I believe.
Hi dear. Say please. How find you in insta? Like ask about elantra gt 2013 rear bulbs
Thanks!
Have to tuned your car for the intake and bov? Or stock ecu? Because I’m planning on upgrading my car but idk if I should tune to or
Not tuned
does it give any power to the engine did you feel any difference ? cuz i am about to install aFe cold air intake to my 1.6T Hyundai elantra i go it few days ago i hope it work well
Afe claims 11hp and 10 ft-lb of torque. I dont think you will feel that difference.
How does this compare to SXTH sri?
Big mouth next?
What’s the use of doing it if you can’t feel any more hp?
Because it changes rhe sound and I like changing parts out as a hobby.
hi, with this intake, do u need to tune your car before or after install to get the max airflow ?
Nope!
