Description

AEM Cold Air Intake Systems are designed to produce horsepower and torque gains. They replace the restrictive factory airbox and air filter to give you better performance and better engine sound. AEM cold air intakes relocate the air filter outside the engine compartment so cooler air can be fed into your engine. Cooler air carries more oxygen, which translates into a more intense explosion in the combustion chamber for more horsepower and torque. AEM Cold Air Intakes include an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter for outstanding air flow, filtration, and performance while allowing easy oil-free cleaning. They include a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube and high quality hardware designed to reduce restriction and reduce intake temperature. The design and components of each intake system vary so consult the installation instructions for more information on the contents of each part number.

Features & benefits

  • Precision-tuned and dyno-validated to enhance throttle response, sharpen acceleration, and improve overall engine efficiency, helping maximize horsepower and drivability.
  • Creates a deeper, more aggressive induction tone that highlights the intake system’s improved airflow.
  • Features low-restriction intake tubing that increases air velocity and high-volume airflow for maximum performance gains.
  • Equipped with a long-life, high-capacity air filter capable of up to 100,000 miles before servicing (depending on driving conditions), reducing maintenance while maintaining strong, clean airflow.
  • Utilizes washable, reusable, oil-free synthetic filter media that preserves airflow efficiency, traps harmful contaminants, and provides long-term value over disposable filters.
