Description

Get your intake system running cool as can be with the AEM Cold Air Intake. Thanks to a custom design that locates the filter outside the engine compartment, AEM Cold Air Intakes rush cooler air straight into your sport compact like no other intake setup can.

The AEM Cold Air Intake starts with innovative AEM Dryflow filter technology, feeding faster, cooler air through the mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe. That intake pipe is a stunner, too—most AEM Cold Air Intakes come with your choice of a Blue, Red, Silver or Polished finish.

Thanks to detailed instructions and AEM’s soft-mount hardware kit, installing the AEM Cold Air Intake is a breeze. All you need are standard tools and about an hour to start feeling the extra horsepower and torque. Best yet, AEM stands behind your AEM Cold Air Intake with a Lifetime Warranty. Order today, and have the coolest-running, coolest-looking sport compact on the block.

Notes

  • Emissions-related parts for new model year vehicles may be in "pending" status for C.A.R.B. exemption. Earning exemption status takes time, but will be complete before your new vehicle's first smog check.

AEM intake System for 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT

Posted on 08/21/2006 by John L. (Rapids City,IL)

"AEM Cold Air Intake System is the way to go!! It took about and an hour and a half to put it in--- some of the directions werent that clear in places. The Intake system has REALLY improved my car's performance. The power band comes on a lot sooner than it did before, there's power in every gear at lower rpms, and it sits down low enough in the engine compartment so that it isnt annoying at high RPMs. I havent calculated if it's helped my gas mileage yet but it probably will help if you dont romp on it all the time--- which is hard not to do once you have this thing in there. More Power, Sounds good, looks good, and totally worth it!"

2006 Mazda MX-5 air intake

Posted on 08/08/2006 by Kel B. - 1997 Nissan Pickup (Suwanee,GA)

"Nice sound. Can really tell the increase in horsepower in the mid rpm range. Installation was a bit more complicated than I had hoped, as it involved removing the entire front bumper assembly.(something to consider) Overall, I am pleased with the results."

Posted on 08/03/2006 by John C. - 2003 Mazda Protege (Rockaway,NJ)

"Love that intake sound, and can hear the blow-off valve more clearly. Installation was a little tricky due to the turbocharger-- had to get under car to tighten clamps, and pipe runs close to cooling fan. Definitely noticed more power and possibly better fuel economy (too soon to tell). Overall a good value for the price. And it looks hot in red! Real shiny. And there's more open space under the hood."

Posted on 07/28/2006 by Jason S. - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon (Forest,VA)

"This intake well over accomplished my expectations.The deep growl that it produces is well noticeable at high rpm ranges. Great boost in horsepower and acceleration. Installation took only an hour and a half. Instructions were a tiny bit hazy but still good. Would recommend this product to anyone looking for performance aftermarket car products. Awesome would best explain it."

06 Spec-V AEM

Posted on 07/13/2006 by Andrew J. - 2006 Nissan Sentra (Winter Haven,FL)

"Wow what a difference in sound. The addition of the AEM cai has really opened up the growl of the 2.5 4 cyl. It is as quite as the stock air box untill you open the throtle and it really howls beyond the 5000rpm mark. Installation is straight forward except for the fender wall. It is slightly different than the instructions due to a one piece construction now compaired to a multi piece in the install book. Needs minor engine compartment mod that is easily done with a light tap from a hammer or you can cut with another tool. Only need a better fastening system with the down tube. One bolt isn't enough. Other wise a great system for not alot of money."

"The only troubles I had was that I did not have a 32mm deep socket on hand to use a bracket that was provided but I improvised. This intake looks sweet, sounds sweet, and adds some noticible power, mostly at higher rpms. I recommend this product, I would buy again."

"I wasn't expecting much when I purchased and installed this CAI... Product was delivered promptly, and installation took me and a friend just over an hour without taking off the wheel or wheel-well. The results are amazing! A noticable increase in HP, and the sound is great! Sounds stock up to 4500 RPM, then it roars up to the redline. Great investment, and reliable company. I highly recommend an Injen hydro shield... it works great!"
