If you're looking to breathe some life into your GMC Sierra or Chevy Silverado, the AEM 21-8031DC Brute Force HD Diesel Air Intake System is a solid upgrade. This isn’t just a flashy add-on; it’s designed to replace that restrictive factory air filter and intake housing, giving you a noticeable boost in horsepower and torque. I’ve had the chance to install one on my truck, and let me tell you, the difference is real.
This intake system fits perfectly on specific GMC Sierra 2500/3500 HD and Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 HD models. The first thing you'll notice is the massive AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. It’s not just for show; it allows for outstanding airflow while keeping the dirt at bay. Plus, you can clean it and reuse it, which is a huge win for both your wallet and the environment.
The filter sits snugly in a replacement AEM airbox that’s got an embossed aluminum lid. This lid isn’t just eye candy; it helps reduce intake air temperature, which means more power for you. The intake tubing is crafted from a tough polyethylene material, engineered to optimize airflow. And don’t worry about messing with your engine’s emissions controls; this system accommodates all the necessary components like the mass airflow sensor and crankcase vent tube.
One of the best parts? You can go about 100,000 miles before needing to clean that air filter, depending on how you drive. Installation is straightforward too, requiring just some basic tools—no need for a mechanic unless you want to show off your new intake to the pros.
Now, if you’re in California or a state that follows their emissions standards, double-check the legal status of this intake for your specific vehicle. Some AEM intakes are street legal across all 50 states, while others aren’t.

What Is an AEM Cold Air Intake System?An AEM cold air intake system is specifically designed to increase the volume of cold air flowing into your engine as you drive. The thinking behind this is that cold air is much denser than warm air. Therefore, if there is more cold air in your engine, there is more air in general, which also means that there is more oxygen. A higher amount of oxygen present in a car engine increases the potency of combustion, which can increase the power and efficiency of your engine.
