Review on 🔥 AEM 21-746WR Cold Air Intake System for Enhanced Performance (Not CARB Certified) by Kipp Amundson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent enough for the price.

I've been modifying cars for decades so I have quite a bit of experience with air intakes. I don't like short tube intakes even if they come with heat shields. They are more susceptible to heat. Either way, it's not the best option, but it works well. No error codes. I run the JB1 on my GTI on a softer octane rating of 91 (+4.8psi) even though I run 93 octane fuel. The inlet allows more airflow without wasting time. After installing the intake, the torque definitely increases. What I like best is that the sound of the induction doesn't really change unless I step on the gas. This is important to me as I enjoy listening to a Fender audio system on my freeway and don't want to hear induction noise when I sit back and drive around town.

Pros
  • Increases horsepower and torque
Cons
  • Minor issues
