IMHO I think CAI is a waste of money for this car. If you look at the system Sonata uses it already has a form of CAI. It gets its cold air from the front via a ram type design. Why would you want to draw hot air from the engine compartment like all the CAI use.?? Someone has a design that mounts the CAI filter in the fender area and I would be concerned that it would draw water into the filter and cause more problems during heavy rains.

Here is an engine bay pic...

Why is everyone so worried about rain water? I have a CAI and driven through bad rain storms with near horizontal rain... still fine. You won't hydrolock your engine unless you fully submerge your filter in water.

Anyways, $300 for ~7hp? no thanks... Make it yourself for less $$.

That stock setup is not that great... especially when K&N can still squeeze out ~7hp and ~7ft-lb
