AFE has a Maverick cold air intake available

AFE will actually maintain the factory cold air intake design by using the factory intake tube on the radiator support. What you gain is a 11% gain in air flow via a larger cone shaped filter. My daughter has one on her 2021 Forte GT and it is the same concept. Basically you get rid of the flat panel filter and go to a large reusable cone filter. Quality product with small gains.

I agree that the worst thing you can do is put a Cone filter onto the stock intake tube and start sucking hot air from the engine compartment. I might sound cool but it kills power. I think I might order one of these AFE intakes since I am impressed with the product quality. Better than most K&N stuff since they usually end up sucking hot air from engine bay as well. When K&N does a dyno they do it with the hood open and fans blasting outside air over the filter. That is not a true test of HP and torque gains. The hood HAS to be closed to give realistic numbers. All these 4 cyl turbo cars now have the hottest engine bays I have ever felt. My daughter also had a Civic 1.5l turbo (hated it and got Forte GT) and the engine bay was so hot you would ACTUALLY burn your fingers on the prop rod.

In the picture below number 11 and 13 stays and number 10 is what fits into the AFE intake.

I thought K&N dyno with a fan to basically mimic air flow as they have the rubber seal around the filter wall to seal to hood to keep hot air out and it incorporates the factory fresh air tube form what ive read so its not drawing hot air....
