Review on AEM 21 682P Polished Cold Intake by Robert Hardin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Legal acceptance of smog. Like, like, something like.

I received the intake, read the instructions and installed it in 15 minutes The instructions are one way to install it, a complicated method. The correct way is to remove the passenger light assembly and the vane assembly (6 bolts). Once the air intake is in the hole, install the MAF, then screw everything into place. A lot of people complain about cracking when the engine is cold, I haven't heard that from my system. This makes the turbo boost clearer, even the hissing of the wastegate can be heard. Smog (California) inclusion is allowed on the 08 and 09 models, but the 2010 model is left out for some reason. (This is no doubt due to California tree lovers)

Pros
  • Made in USA
Cons
  • There are new competitors
