The product looks great in the engine bay and adds a bit.

Chevrolet Sonic 2012. Installed this inlet just over 3000 miles and never once did the check engine light come on. The product looks great in the engine bay and adds some noise to the cabin as you can hear it sucking air through the filter.

I expected something better from AEM

Inlet installation is literally a snap. The reception quality is excellent. The reason I didn't give five stars is because the heat shield was badly scratched. The intake manifold itself had the wrong AEM decal, which technically isn't a big deal but differs from the promotional image.

Now you can hear the turbo.

Well made product. Like the sound when I shift gears now the time I can feel the turbo making a little boost is around 500rpm now. If you have this car you should know what I mean. I can get about 1 or 2 mpg. Better if I love now; but especially if you like going a little faster. A few months have passed, now there are no more problems with the computer lighting up with a tick.

Quality intake - sounds good too

Perfect fit for my 2012 Sonic 1.4t engine Easy and straight forward installation with clear instructions. I haven't noticed any real increase in performance on my stock car, but it's making more inductive noise now and you can now hear air recirculation that's similar to a blowoff valve. This was the cheapest upgrade option I've ever bought and I'm not disappointed.
