Review on AEM 21 8009DC Brute Intake System by Fisseha Rodgers

On my 1999 2.2 S10. Here are the cons: This requires you to cut the radiator fan shroud. Dremel required. IAT sensor can be installed. Vaseline and a flathead are required. You must hold the air filter and clamp in the perfect position to tighten or they will slip off. The instructions are bad. This means the steps are wrong. Use petroleum jelly, not engine oil, when installing the IAT sensor. Also install the IAT sensor before placing the intake pipe under the AC lines. Pros: Once installed it looks much better than other models like Volant and K&N. All necessary parts are included. You can really feel the difference in throttle response, and the reusable filter is cheaper than a 50 state-approved K&NCARB (yes, California). The air intake itself is well made and looks great once fitted. difficulty of installation. I would rate it 4 out of 10. I am happy with the result and would buy it again over other equipment offered for my truck. Definitely a big difference to the standard box. In addition, the engine compartment now looks much tidier. Satisfied.
