Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ AEM 21-772C Cold Air Intake System: Enhancing Performance and Efficiency by Brandon Roberts

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product; Item arrived Damaged

I installed this on my 2012 Subaru Impreza Sport Hatchback. Now that it's installed, I've noticed a significant power boost around 4,000 rpm when combined with my Catback and Borla exhaust. the overall tone is also very pleasant with the right rumble under acceleration. I was nervous before installing it because I thought I might ruin my car or not like how it changes performance, but I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in mechanical driving these low powered vehicles. I also have a CVT automatic transmission with paddle shifters; Still, a worthy upgrade. The reason I give it 4 stars is because halfway through the install I noticed my intake was bent up and covered in a brown substance. I should have been more careful and examined everything closely as I noticed the box was also damaged/re-taped. On first inspection everything looked fine. I almost gave up and sent it back but I managed to remold the flange to match the air intake and it works great. I think that's why I'm offering it. Recommended, just wish I didn't have damage to an expensive part that was sold as 'new'. Recently, there is a real need to improve quality control in general. *sorry I didn't take a picture of the damage and since the part is already installed I probably won't upload it*
