Hyundai Elantra N Cold Air Intake Install/Sound Test (SXTH Element)

[@Roblessed722]

They put the clutch in BACKWARDS??? 🤣🤣

[@williamrori1274]

Lol, yep. There was a TSB out there for one month of cars that had the disk installed backwards. Weird thing is it shifted decent, never slipped, never grinded etc.

[@n-power-automotive]

Great video as usual. I’m still not sold on this intake personally. There’s no gains and honestly the construction of it is meh IMO. I’ve heard quite a few people complain that the filter comes loose. And to have such minimal noise increase, I just don’t see the value in it. From a visual standpoint, it looks cool, but I’m not a fan of the huge logo on the plexi window. Not knocking SXTH since they’re one of the few companies making aftermarket parts for our ENs, I just wish it was more robust and had actual gains.

[@JorgeCabrera-zh7yr]

Exactly I've never been a fan of looks when it comes to aftermarket parts I'm about functionality if it's actually doing something

[@JorgeCabrera-zh7yr]

I have a VN and it's the same shit intakes look nice visually bit no power gains my stock box without a filter does better lol

[@JorgeCabrera-zh7yr]

And I'm not a fan of sixth as far as how the car's run with their tunes I think jvperformance in Puerto Rico are doing alot better with just a jb4 and a map 6 which is crazy because jb4 is just a piggyback as opposed to sixth's ecu tune 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Roflcakes88]

Have to agree. Intercooler upgrade would be first on my list of beneficial "intake" mods. Less heat soak and cooler IAT.

[@Boosted00]

No gains un tuned. Also at stock boost and stock flow levels it's a very efficient air intake from factory but when you start adding mods and a tune and more air is needed to be sucked in the factory set up won't be as efficient as this SXTH air intake kit will be at higher boost levels. Maybe it won't make a difference even then but most likely not the case. The upgraded turbo inlet pipe probably makes a bigger difference over the stock one since the stock one is very small and restrictive.

[@AJMILLER91]

Just ordered the ECU and TCU calibration upgrade pretty stoked for it to come!!

[@Frostbite545]

Thanks for these videos! Super cool to see the build slowly coming together as more becomes available. My Cyber Gray DCT comes in on the 28th, and I already have so many ideas. I'll use your code when I buy parts from SXTH for sure.

Lolol this was a genuine concern. My new found love for a drink called "The Finnish Long Drink" really did some damage last weekend.

[@en_noah4615]

yes! been waiting to see what it sounds like before buying

[@koreanm3]

Intake still feeds fresh air from the front :) Only intake worth getting for the EN imo.

[@ricks_toys]

Looks like the air box doesnt have enough volume/flow to suffieciently draw air in. You can see when you rev it the top glass deforms due to the this restriction(vacuum).

[@LeftenantMalachi]

The open intake sound is much more pronounced according to other owners, however gains are minimal on a stock tune. I'm tempted to get it for the sound, but money is probably better spent elsewhere.

[@aaronp8700]

you have to upgrade the turbo inlet with the cold intake to get the biggest gain. but it may only be 10 to 15 hp. It is really for the sound

[@Rururu-ci5dl]

Turbo inlet w cold open airintake with a tune will be real gains 👍🏻

[@josephalba978]

I wish Hyundai would start selling N Performance parts in the US. They have parts like this.

[@freemanbeast]

About what do you pay per mo for insurance for the N? I’ve been shopping around and I’m getting around 130$ a mo quoted. Thanks lads

[@jagerking7020]

if you look close, With the intake box window installed it looks like its actually sucking the glass inward when you rev it up as if it was being restricted.

[@sorondoj]

I've been hearing about this recall regarding the clutch being installed incorrectly. Do you have a link where I can check if my vin is in the affected batch? or how did you find out yours had a problem? Nice vids btw. I've been following your build and got the same engine mount and spark plugs, waiting for the replacement ECU with the tune from sxth element.

Should've done a before and after dyno test. Not only for power gain or loss but to see temperature at high stress as well.

That’s Hyundai quality control guys.. had a few different models through the years. Solid vehicles, take a lickin too, but Hyundai dealers and service are awful in my experience (3 Hyundai’s owned)

[@blairbilliot6658]

When you do the inlet tube will you need to tune the car? If so do you think a dealer would do it?

[@ktakashismith]

Everyone out here talking about "why would anyone pay $7k more for a CTR, Elantra N is such a deal", but I don't hear about CTRs coming with backwards-installed clutches, nor do I hear about Honda dealers ruining tires/wheels and stealing engine covers. I'm sorry you guys had such a crap experience with your Hyundai dealership, but I can't say that's the only horror story I've heard about Kia/Hyundai dealers.

[@sinbadtheprophet]

I'd recommend a tune for the first mod!

[@vincentvagianow-mm1tw]

Would this modification void warranty on this specific part?

This is my first stick ever so idk of its good or not. But every gear except 4 feels really clunky. 4 clicks right in perfect, the rest are kinda notchy. Sorta got locked out of first today coming to a stop sign. Dunno if it's normal issues or if something is wrong

I hope mine comes with ok clutch lol. Have u guys considered oil catch can ? Is it even necessary if u did ?

[@williamrori1274]

It was only vehicles built in like September-October of 2021, so if you haven't got yours yet you should definitely be okay. I have not, and I suppose this is a "hot take" but modern PCV systems are really good. Catch cans/AOS's can create issues like freezing in winter, and while yes, the can will catch some fluids that would otherwise be burned in the combustion chamber - that doesn't mean it's automatically detrimental as (I hate to break it to people) you burn trace amounts of external material (usually oil) all the time. Just my opinion, the biggest issue is not using one makes it more prone to knock/detonate, so definitely take logs to verify in the worst possible scenario.

[@silverx5733]

@@williamrori1274 got it. Thanks for taking a time to reply

[@ronburgundy4375]

If the clutch was backwards it wouldn't have gone into gear. They're likely finding the clutches they chose as stock aren't holding up to the abuse. Same issue something like a golf r or gti manual has if you wanna modify it might as well throw a clutch in

[@williamrori1274]

That's not true, pending the construction of the clutch it will function backwards with lasting damage to the springs on the disk as well as slow damage to the pressure plate. It was reversed, as I was able to see the whole assembly upon removal. As far as the clutch thing goes, these are not like the VW's haha - you can run 400 whp on the OE clutch without slipping. Not like GTI's that need a clutch after a stage 1 flash tune lol

I did not understand why is replacing intake not giving you horse power.

[@ItsPaulby]

Quote from SXTH: "From our testing, it appears the OEM intake is large enough to support our Stage 1 calibration as the SXTH Intake did not show any significant gains. This didn’t really surprise us. As the power progresses further, we might find our 4in tubing and huge airbox be a benefit, maybe at Stage 2 or higher when there is more boost."
