Nothing wrong with wanting a better sound experience! It's like having a music preference! Looks good and sounds good!

[@TheTortuga58]

What a perfect video. Shows what you need, instructions, sound showcase, and reasoning, all without filler. Cheers m8

[@Nehemiah1604]

Just got mine installed I was smiling from ear to ear with the bov noises and induction sounds that the stock air box filtered out its so nice

[@khromie23]

Did you need to get a tune?

[@charlesconnor1737]

Not shallow by any means noise is one of the best parts of the whole driving experience... it’s the reason I bought most of the cars I’ve owned ... great video we need a lot more n videos out there... 👍

Next one is coming within a week. We got new wheels!!

Awesome Video! Just bought the intake myself! Wonder how your intake is holding up with this hot weather, hopefully it's doing well! Will be watching this video again to install my aem intake :D!

[@lewisstone4203]

It was nice to have this list of tools you need to install at the beginning of the video

[@FSXflyermaster]

I never understood why people need a tool list for very basic mods. If you own a simple tool set, you’re pretty much able to do most work.

[@jasong2107]

I have the Forte GT and i believe the intake set up is identical. Hell of a install and review video. Much appreciated.

[@DJMontePGH]

If you are going to try one you may want to try the one for the Veloster Turbo. Not the N.

@@DJMontePGH installed the AEM. I believe its the same exact one. Love the sound it provides and install took about an hour.

[@khromie23]

Did you need to get a tune?

[@DuhEyeSeaU]

I don't have the Veloster N but I do have the turbo and it was the best purchase I've made. I really love this car!

[@pvpijr]

This intake works on the turbo? I have a 2019 been wondering

[@par0l]

Hey man, I have the I 30 N Performance and have the K&N cold air intake system and it is awesome! Doesn't have the filter box on the kit, only the heat shield, filter and the tube. Sounds as good as yours in the video! Highly reccomend it. Sounds great.

[@dougmaverick3287]

I couldn't agree with you more brother, the sound adds to the experience of a sports car that's why I choose the Veloster n over the Honda Civic type-r because the exhaust on the type R sounds like a vacuum cleaner it's got no personality. The more visceral the car the better that's why I choose a manual transmission over an automatic it's more driver-focused engaging and more fun overall. I can hardly wait to order my 2021 Veloster n with the new sport bucket seats that have an "N" that lights up going to be awesome hopefully it'll come with more power.

[@ShiftingLanes]

The same exact reasons why I chose the Veloster N over the civic type R as well! Those seats look so good! Enjoy it when it comes out

[@shadiitani4777]

I am definitely getting the AEM intake it sounds pretty good! And also I was wondering what kind of tune is best for our Veloster?

[@jimbaleno]

great video !!!can you tell us any gains or any dyno tests???

[@sunnyd26]

Sounds awesome

[@cummins24421]

I bought a 2013 C300 a few years ago because I needed a reliable car for the next few years and was on a budget. I've only done one mod to it: the exhaust. It's not faster, and was never a fast car to begin with. But it sounds incredible, and because it sounds amazing and is a nice place to be, I love driving it every day. Looking to trade it in for one of these now. Interior downgrade, performance and warranty upgrade? Sounds good to me.

[@tjmccarty6771]

More Veloster content please I’m currently saving up for one! Hopefully next month

[@ShiftingLanes]

It's a fantastic ride, you won't regret it

[@carvibez4723]

You won’t be disappointed, I just traded my 19’ WRX for a Veloster N/PP. No regrets here!!!!!!

[@tjmccarty6771]

CarVibez what’s crazy is I always wanted a wrx lol. I’m waiting for dealers to open so I can take my friend for a test drive. He doesn’t really believe the hype. He currently drives an integra

[@carvibez4723]

Tj McCarty I was settled on a 2020 STI before I Test drove the Veloster N. Call me crazy but the Veloster impressed me more and felt extremely solid. Your buddy need to test drive the Veloster N before making that decision 😅

[@tjmccarty6771]

CarVibez my minds made up😂 they just keep hitting me with Hyundai jokes but I think a test drive will shut him up. Once he looked in to the numbers and power he became a little more interested

[@faaeng]

That turbo flutter. It's like the cars laughing at you. lol

[@oz88og40]

I love what hyundai is doing with there N performance division and awesome sound on the veloster n

[@Kid_Strange]

Love my C30, but man if I ever switch cars I might just go for a Veloster. Lookin' forward to see which wheels you chose!

[@ShiftingLanes]

I can't wait to show it off to you guys. It's currently in transit :)

[@Olemrac11]

This video alone makes me want a Veloster N more. I was looking at a Golf R because I honestly can't get past how cheap the interior of the Veloster N, but seeing this video reminds me of why I would buy the N and why I would forget about the interior

[@ShiftingLanes]

I forget about the interior quality pretty quickly once I start driving.

[@Olemrac11]

@@ShiftingLanes I'm going to test drive one soon. Ive had a 2018 Elantra Sport for 2 years and I love it. Been impressed with Hyundai... I just want a little more, and I want to stay loyal to the underdog

Dude the Gold R starts at like 44K and has AWD. While Veloster N is only 33k and FWD. Apples to oranges.

I reallly want to buy this intake for my 2020 hyundai veloster n but im nervous that the warranty will be voided! LOVE THE SOUND THO! Lol

Beautiful.!! Will this fit the 2022 veloster N dct

[@djsthemetereman]

Getting one installed today on an Acura tlx aspec, curious to hear what it sounds like, also getting a dyno tune with it, not sure how much I would hear because of modified exhaust.

[@Veegs.]

Sounds nice but i think i might just take the filter lid off cuz damn that sounded good too

[@sanatchile]

how many hp increase bro nice video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrizzz619]

Nice video! I have the aFe but you can’t hear the flutter like this intake because it’s a closed box intake :/ Where did you get those plastic retainers? :)

[@ShiftingLanes]

Get them from amazon. They’re not too expensive. And VERY handy when you’re doing body work

[@jw4096]

Hey what size plastic fasteners were those that you used if you don't mind my asking? I was planning to reuse the ones that came on my OEM air intake, but after fitting them they seemed loose on the AEM intake and when I went to remove them one of the plastic fasteners shot out and got lost down in the abyss of my engine bay, never to be seen again >_

[@v8oscar630]

Does this have a BOV?? Or just intake (sounds 🔥🔥🔥

[@ericcampbell2360]

There's no need to justify an intake on a turbo vehicle, it adds to the driving experience!

[@phillipyau4234]

Hey what's happening I've purchased a 2020 Hyundai veloster turbocharged r spec will it be okay for my ride thanks a million for sharing your videos with me 😊❤

[@editwixx322]

How does it perform in warmer weather/temps and longer drives?

[@rcbrooks3543]

So I like the sound of this intake. I don't like the heat shield because it is open to heat soak much more than the AFE Momentum. Keep in mind the AFE momentum has a plug to let in air from the engine compartment and in turn it let's out more sound than the stock box. This will produce more of a sucking sound but not nearly as much blow off fluttering as the intake in this video. The benefits to me is if it gets too hot on a summer day you can plug the box to stop heat soak and that's a serious option to have. All and all this intake and the AFE momentum are my favorites. Great video!

[@ShiftingLanes]

Thanks! Will have to see how it performs as the weather warms up and as I go on longer drives. I strongly considered the afe and may go to that in the future. We shall see

[@dreiz.]

ShiftingLanes please let us know, I’m interested in your intake longevity.

[@fusiongingerragegaming]

Because of you I bought a 2020 VN in performance blue. I will be picking up this intake also. What wheels are you going with ? or ended up with ? Im looking at 19inch XXR 530's, want them to fit in the PZeros it comes with to save some cost.

[@ShiftingLanes]

Welcome to the family! There’s a new video on that! Subscribe to the channel for new updates. Wheels have been installed and a new mod is coming in a few!

[@beyza64js]

Other than the great sounds, is there any Performance Gains?

[@bradley8753]

Any 1year updates? Just ordered one for my 22 VN! I was wanting the SXTH but it's always sold out

[@basementality4924]

I was going to go with the afe takeda intake but it doesn’t produce the sound this one does and is $80 more. While the aem air box isent perfect like the afe, with the addition of the velossa tech air ram it should keep it cool enough by forcing outside air into that area.

[@clappin.cheeks]

are you still using stock BPV?

[@MJT-DA]

This car is near perfect! All it needs is the awd platform from the kona since they share the same transmission and differential!

[@ShiftingLanes]

That’ll make it even more fantastic. Can’t wait to see if they bring out the mid engine in the future

[@MJT-DA]

@@ShiftingLanes You saw their sports car concept for 2021? It's looks like a mid engine but I don't mind if it's front engine since it's supposed to be rwd! I just wish hyundai would bring back the genesis coupe but rename it to tiburon. Hyundai needs a new rwd car!

[@ShiftingLanes]

That would be amazing. I wouldn’t mind if it was just a reskinned G70 or a Kia Stinger.

Didn’t have to buy anything separate. Should be part of the AEM kit.

I want to be able to put the baby asleep in short. I want the added power but a soft sound still

[@klasseact6663]

Does it make power? I ask because the stock box holds a cone type filter anyways and wouldn't a Pipercross be an easier and less expensive option?

[@TheAnon11]

Tork Motorsports dyno'd the AEM intake on a bone stock car. Made an 18WHP gain. Im on the fence as well with this question. Do I buy an intake or do I buy a K&N filter and take the lid off of the stock air box and have the same sound and same power increases. So far, I haven't seen a before and after dyno with stock vs K&N in the stock box with the lid off.
