R-Spec Air Filters.................

[Cut-Throat]

I was having my oil Changed today on my 2014 R-Spec and was surprised to learn that my car has two air filters under the hood. My 2011 only has one, I believe.

I always replace air filters myself and these look easy enough to replace from the manual. Where do you guys buy your air filters? Do you change both of them out at the same intervals?

Can you provide a pic? Are you sure they weren't talking about the cabin filter as being the other filter?

Definitely not the cabin filter. These are both under the hood! Here is my 2014 Manual and mine is equipped with the Main air filter and separate Chamber air filter.

I don't know what it is, but I would just go to the Hyundai dealer parts department and get the chamber air filter there.

I also have the 2 filters and was a bit confused as to what was going on when I first opened the hood(what's the purpose of the smaller one...). For now they are in good shape, figured I'd cross that bridge when it comes time to change them. I assume OEM is probably the way to go with the smaller one. K&N makes a replacement for the larger filter. I believe there are plenty of threads on the CAI surrounding the r-spec.

There are indeed two filters. I got both from NAPA. They fit just fine.

the air container holds a bunch of ready to go air. I went with a K&N main filter & stock reserve air filter. I also removed the flapper below to filter & felt a measurable increase in performance immediately. Seems the compter learns. I disconnected battery to reset computer. Super ez

Oreilly sells replacement Wix filters for both the primary and secondary filters. That's where I get mine.

Mine also has the main and the chamber filter. After i purchased my R, I opened the owners manual and that's when i discovered the chamber filter. Inspected both, the main was looked brand new but the chamber was the original filthy oem. Try telling the auto parts counter guy that you need the chamber filter...strange looks and difficult to find.

Wow this comes as a shock to me!
It never occurred to me that my car has two engine air filters.
I admit I should have read the manual more than I'd like to.
Is this right part for the 2nd smaller one.

Yes, that is the secondary engine air filter for the 5.0 engine. You should be able to find it online for $15-$20.

Does any one know K&N makes the smaller air filter?
I couldn't find it in their web site.
Probably not?

Cut,
Yes there is a large filter in the typical box near the passenger side front and a small secondary filter near the front in the center. I have always replaced both at the same interval.
