K&N Air Intake Installed on 2013 Kia Optima 2.0L

Kia and Hyundai have done it again. The 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Optima and Sonata have created such a buzz in the car world that they are flying off the shelves. Sharing the same power-plant, the Kia and Optima boast a powerful 2.0 liter motor force fed by a twin scroll turbocharger cranking out an impressive 274 horsepower. This is Subaru WRX territory. Both 2013 models were named by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) as top safety picks for the 2012 year. The rise to global recognition results in more aftermarket options for the Sonata and Optima. This is where K&N comes into the picture. A globally recognized company as well, K&N wasn't satisfied with a measly 274 horsepower from these mid-sized sports sedans.
