Aem/k&n?

[Doubled613]

Has anyone done a k&n or aem short ram intake on their 3.8l genesis sedan? I find this car slow like a cruiser and it needs a shot of performance. Let me know plz

An intake might see a small gain, but no intake will make near enough power on any otherwise stock car to make a noticeable change in performance. It would be mostly for sound.

I started with a custom short intake and now how transitioned to a full blown custom CAI with a 10" K&N cone in the passenger wheel well. There's nothing pre-built for the Sedan out there so you have to tap your inner fabricator.

My intake combined with Magnaflow catback, cat deletion and for what it's worth TB and ECV bypasses have made a modest improvement in the power of my V6. That said, the Lambda V6 has got to be close to topping out power wise without going FI. It started life as a 3.3l MPI making around 230 hp in the NF Sonata. So you're talking about a 50% increase in power from boring, GDI and whatever other efficiencies Hyundai's engineers introduced since the 2007 MY.

I have repeated runs (using camera mount on speedo) before these mods of 0-60's in the 5.9-6s range and now I'm in the 5.6-5.7 range - or around 5.5s with using the "1ft-roll out" method. I mention the roll out estimate (on average 2 tenths less than true 0-60) because most magazines/publications that do test drives use this method unless otherwise stated (exception Edmunds). It's a more comparable number if that's your goal.
