Improved Performance through AEM 21 Intake

The AEM 21 Intake bolstered my car’s horsepower and torque, instantly improving acceleration and overall performance. Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, the installation process was seamless and easy. The high-quality metal material of the pipe and filter ensured longevity and durability. The only downside was the noticeable increase in engine sound, which may be a pro or con depending on personal preference.

Pros
  • Improves engine performance and increases horsepower.
Cons
  • Requires professional installation and may void vehicle warranty if not installed by a certified mechanic.

Easy to install, questionable performance and fuel economy

Installation is easy, instructions are clear. The kit does not include a hose extension coupler but is $2.25 at Menards (brass, not plastic). Couldn't determine the difference in horsepower or mpg but there might be in the future. But at $165 it's definitely worth it.

Pros
  • All AEM air intakes feature a long life synthetic DRYFLOW air filter with excellent filtration
Cons
  • Disappear

Pros
  • Made in USA
Cons
  • Non-Automatic
