AEM Induction Systems

AEM Induction Systems

AEM Induction designs and manufactures cold air intakes, short ram intakes, air filters, and intake accessories engineered to increase airflow to naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. AEM intake systems are developed on the dyno with targeted tuning for specific vehicle platforms, delivering measurable horsepower and torque gains over the factory airbox.

Popular AEM Induction Products

AEM's induction product lineup includes the Dryflow cold air intake and short ram intake kits with pre-installed Dryflow synthetic filters, the AEM 21-inch Dryflow air filter in standard and oversized formats, the Brillo air filter made from stainless steel mesh for high-dirt environments, the Gunmetal and Red finish cold air intake tubes for popular platforms, and AEM's truSpeed intake system designed specifically for turbocharged applications where filter location and inlet diameter affect compressor efficiency. AEM intakes are available for Honda, Acura, Toyota, Subaru, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, and other popular platforms.

What is the Dryflow filter and how does it work?

AEM's Dryflow filter is a dry synthetic media air filter that does not require oiling like a traditional oiled cotton gauze filter. The synthetic fiber media is electrostatically charged to attract and trap fine particles without the need for oil treatment, eliminating the risk of over-oiling that can contaminate mass airflow sensors on modern vehicles. Dryflow filters are cleanable and reusable, with a recommended service interval of 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions.

Do AEM intake systems require a tune?

Most AEM bolt-on cold air intake and short ram intake systems are designed to work within the factory ECU's adaptive fueling range without a separate tune, particularly on modern vehicles with mass airflow sensors that recalibrate for changed airflow. On turbocharged applications or vehicles with aggressive intake configurations, a supporting ECU tune is recommended to take full advantage of the increased airflow capacity and correct any fueling deviation the ECU does not fully self-correct.
