***PLEASE NOTE FOR 2019-2021 VELOSTER TURBO and the 2017-2020 ELANTRA SPORT, SOME LIGHT GRINDING TO INSIDE OF THE FRONT BUMBER SUPPORT IS REQUIRED***
The SXTH Element Engineering Front Mount Intercooler Kit was re-designed from the ground up for more cooling, more flow, and easier installation at a better price!
Our high performance bar and plate core provides superior cooling and heat sink resistance to competitor's tube/plate construction. Our new core is officially the largest on the market with it's stepped core design. The bottom portion measures 22in x 4.67in x 6.2in and the top portion measures 22in x 2.89in x 3in. That's 9% more internal cooling area than our nearest competitor and 15% more than our previous design.
See the intercooler testing in action!
The Core
Our intercooler core was designed using 3D scanning and CAD along with CFD simulation to achieve perfect fitment while maximizing airflow. The "stepped" core takes up as much space as possible so we can achieve the best cooling possible while fitting in the car without any modifications or extra parts needed. Our core also comes with a special heat resistant coating.
Our fin design and end tanks are designed to flow as smooth as possible to help retain OEM spooling and power delivery characteristics. Even at our larger size, no noticable lag is added to the system.
Hot Pipe
Our kit keeps the OEM cold side tubing for installation simplicity and to help keep overall pricing affordable. The OEM cold side tubing supported our Forte GT Hybrid turbo car at 310 wheel horsepower with ease. Our hot side tubing was tweaked to add a mounting bracket and for even better fitment.
OEM vs SXTH
The OEM intercooler in the 2019+ Veloster Turbo / Elantra Sport / Forte GT leaves a lot to be desired. As you can see below, the SXTH unit is much larger than OEM. By utilizing every cubic inch possible, we can provide better airlfow and better cooling for more power and less heat soak.

Performance Boost
Even though there are certain limiters in the Engine Control Unit (ECU), our core was still able to achieve measurable power increase on our in-house dyno. Gains can be seen across the RPM range. Peak gains of 10 wheel HP and over 13 wheel HP in the upper RPM range on the OEM ECU programming!
Couplers & Clamps
We use the highest quality 5-ply silicone hoses and t-bolt clamps for our tubing connections. The hoses are also designed in the computer for perfect fitment.

California Air Resource Board and The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency set the standard for emissions controls with the Clean Air Act in 1970, but The California Air Resource Board (C.A.R.B.) is becoming the new standard for all emissions controls and vehicle stadards.
"The Clean Air Act (CAA) is the comprehensive federal law that regulates air emissions from stationary and mobile sources. Among other things, this law authorizes EPA to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to protect public health and public welfare and to regulate emissions of hazardous air pollutants." - www.epa.gov
Environment Protection Agency
NAAQS and SIPs
"One of the goals of the Act was to set and achieve NAAQS in every state by 1975 in order to address the public health and welfare risks posed by certain widespread air pollutants. The setting of these pollutant standards was coupled with directing the states to develop state implementation plans (SIPs), applicable to appropriate industrial sources in the state, in order to achieve these standards. The Act was amended in 1977 and 1990 primarily to set new goals (dates) for achieving attainment of NAAQS since many areas of the country had failed to meet the deadlines." - www.epa.gov
Sources of Pollution
"Section 112 of the Clean Air Act addresses emissions of hazardous air pollutants. Prior to 1990, CAA established a risk-based program under which only a few standards were developed. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments revised Section 112 to first require issuance of technology-based standards for major sources and certain area sources. "Major sources" are defined as a stationary source or group of stationary sources that emit or have the potential to emit 10 tons per year or more of a hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons per year or more of a combination of hazardous air pollutants. An "area source" is any stationary source that is not a major source.
For major sources, Section 112 requires that EPA establish emission standards that require the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of hazardous air pollutants. These emission standards are commonly referred to as "maximum achievable control technology" or "MACT" standards. Eight years after the technology-based MACT standards are issued for a source category, EPA is required to review those standards to determine whether any residual risk exists for that source category and, if necessary, revise the standards to address such risk." - www.epa.gov
California Air Resource Board
Background
What's under the hood is important to air quality. Automotive emissions account for over 50 percent of all smog-forming pollutants in California. To improve air quality, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) requires vehicle manufacturers to develop engine and emission equipment systems that reduce the specific pollutants that cause California's severe air quality problem. These emission control systems are also required to be proven durable and reliable.
To ensure that these systems operate as designed, California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and the Federal Clean Air Act prohibit modifications that increase motor vehicle emissions. Since if properly designed, most performance modifications do not increase vehicle emissions, these same laws also allow the installation of parts or modifications proven by their manufacturers and the ARB not to increase vehicle emissions.
All aftermarket parts sold in California belong to one of the following four groups:
- Replacement Parts- Replacement Parts Guide
- Legal Add-On or Modified Parts (Executive Order Parts) - Aftermarket Parts Database
- Competition or Racing Use Only Parts - Exemptions for Uncontrolled Vehicles
- Catalytic Converters
The Maryland Department of the Environment has published a list of states adopting the C.A.R.B. standard for emissions. The list provided applies to new vehicles and emissions control.
