AEM Press Release – Cold Air Intake for the 2010 Hyundai Genesis 2.0T

AEM-21-687C

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe was released as a direct competitor to sports cars such as the Infiniti G37 and Nissan 370Z. With styling cues derived from both challengers, the Hyundai comes out of the gates strong in the appearance segment. The Genesis Coupe also features high-quality components such as Brembo performance brakes, a limited-slip differential and a Mitsubishi TD04H turbocharger. It is in the power department however that the Genesis Coupe lacks amongst its counterparts. Weighing in at a hefty 3,294 Lbs., the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine only musters up 210 horsepower. In class of vehicles that generate right around 300 horsepower, the Genesis falls a few ponies short.

Where the Genesis Coupe excels however is in its price tag and in its tuner-friendly design. The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a starting MSRP of just $22k. The comparatively inexpensive price tag combined with support from the aftermarket community brings the Genesis Coupe to the forefront for performance enthusiasts.

Since the introduction of the Genesis Coupe, AEM has been working on several performance components for the 2.0-liter turbo engine. To increase the airflow to the turbocharged engine, AEM has proudly released a Cold Air Intake System for the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the 2.0-liter engine (Part Number 21-687C).

The 21-687C cold air intake system connects directly to the Genesis’ TD04H turbo compressor inlet. From the turbocharger, the intake inlet tube is directed to the passenger side wheel well. In order to make a clear path to the passenger side wheel well, AEM engineers had to redesign the vehicle’s windshield washer tank. To this end, the AEM cold air intake for the Genesis (21-687C) includes a high-quality windshield washer tank to replace the factory unit. With the AEM washer tank in place, the mandrel-bent aluminum inlet tube is routed to the passenger wheel well and is capped by a DRYFLOW performance air filter.  The AEM DRYFLOW performance air filter features an inlet diameter of 3.5-inches (89mm) and a height of 7-inches (178mm). The oil-free DRYFLOW technology is extremely durable and easy to clean.

With its efficient design, the 21-687C air intake system is able to produce a maximum gain of seven horsepower at 6,500 RPM on the 2.0-liter engine. By allowing the turbocharger to take in more airflow, peak power is also improved with the addition of the AEM cold air intake. This cold air intake system is simple to install using basic tools.

K&N Press Release – Drop in Performance for 2009-2010 Acura TSX

K&N 33-2430

The second-generation front-wheel-drive Acura TSX was introduced for the 2009 model year and carried over to 2010.

Acura’s reputation for above-average reliability and performance make the 2009 and 2010 TSX a great choice for a comfortable daily driver.

The TSX is equipped with a 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine that averages 21 to 28 miles per gallon. Although economical, the Acura TSX can not compete with the performance of 6-cylinder or turbo-charged 4-cylinder engines found in other luxury sport sedans. K&N has developed a high-flow replacement air filter (33-2430) for the 2009 and 2010 Acura TSX with the 2.4 liter engine. It is designed to increase horsepower and torque while providing excellent filtration.

The 33-2430 panel air filter was custom engineered to fit the unique shape of the factory airbox as to attain a proper seal. K&N OEM replacement air filters are washable, reusable and come with a million mile limited warranty. The 33-2430 can go up to 50,000 miles depending on driving conditions before it needs to be cleaned. It will be the last air filter your Acura TSX will ever need.

Whether you have the six-speed manual transmission or five-speed automatic, K&N’s unique drop-in air filter design makes adding performance to your TSX as easy as removing the old paper filter and replacing it with K&N’s high-flow cotton air filter. For Acura TSX owners interested in the environment or just saving money, a washable and reusable air filter will decrease the amount of air filters in our landfills and save you money at the same time.

COBB Tuning Press Release – Cat-Back Exhaust for 2008+ Subaru STI

COBB Tuning 515100Introducing the COBB 3″ Stainless Steel Cat-back Exhaust for the 2008 and newer Subaru STI. This much anticipated exhaust uses a unique straight-through muffler section rather than common chambered designs, which minimizes tubing bends, reduces back-pressure and keeps sound output below SAE standards. The outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this cat-back.

Exhaust gasses are guided through 3-inch diameter tubing into the center inlet of the fully-24-inch wide muffler section. Internal to the muffler, the exhaust gasses pass through a reversed Y merge, efficiently splitting the exhaust into separate muffling chambers on each side of the canister. 2.5-inch outlets emerge symmetrically from each side of the canister and direct the exhaust out the rear through quad polished exhaust tips. This straight-through exhaust design is much more effective at reducing exhaust back-pressure.

304 stainless steel is used throughout the exhaust construction. All components are meticulously TIG welded for outstanding appearance and strength. Four custom exhaust tips fill the factory bumper cut-outs perfectly, protruding just enough to show off the COBB logos etched into the top of each polished tip. Perfect fitment is achieved with either the Subaru factory downpipe or the COBB 3” SS Downpipe.

The COBB 3″ SS Cat-back Exhaust for the 2008+ Subaru STI is a triumph in design and execution. Install the COBB 3″ SS Cat-back Exhaust on your STI and experience performance like no other.

COBB 3” SS Cat-back

  • Straight-through optimum flow design
  • 304 stainless throughout
