🔫 AEM Gun Metal Brute Force Intake System - Model 21-8305DC Review

This metal intake system for automotive vehicles failed to meet expectations. Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I noticed that the overall build quality was lacking and the installation instructions were confusing. While it did increase engine sound slightly, the performance gains were barely noticeable. The only pro is the attractive appearance, but that doesn't make up for the lack of performance. Save your money and look elsewhere for a better intake system.

Gets wet every time I go through the car wash; The device does not have the same level of water protection as a standard airbox. However, when wet, the filter dries quickly. Some whine at high revs. Didn't notice any performance gain.

Installation was easy and only took about an hour. The quality of the product is good and so far it has worked well. I immediately noticed an increase in power and torque. I haven't noticed any whistling noises that some CAIs can make. Yes, it can get wet when you take it to the car wash or when crossing water in a 4WD vehicle as it isn't sealed like a standard airbox, so know your limits. In general I am satisfied with this product. And $200.18 shipping was the best price I could find online.
