Review on AEM 21 548R Cold Intake System by Shawn Jimenez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great aftermarket shot

This shot doesn't get many reviews so I was a bit skeptical. People say CAI doesn't matter. I would say that first of all they are wrong to make the engine compartment look much better. You sound a lot better. Both me and my Daily Driven G can feel the difference in performance. I think you lose some power at lower RPM, but at higher RPM I feel an increase in power. I have a detour because I live in Florida and there is just tranquility. But I like the air intake, lots of compliments, I don't hear it too much from my exhaust but I do hear a faint grunt around 4k. When you step on the gas you hear something like a little whistle, but it's very quiet and I like the sound. There were no problems with this. They still use the same part as your MAF sensor, so you don't have to remove the MAF sensor. All round good consumption. Very happy

Pros
  • Air filter lasts up to 100,000 miles without needing to be cleaned (depending on driving conditions)
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
