AEM 21-8109DC Brute Force Air Intake System

If you’re looking to enhance your 2001-2003 Ford Ranger or 2002 Mazda B4000, the AEM 21-8109DC Brute Force Air Intake System is your ticket to improved performance. This intake system is engineered to replace the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing, delivering noticeable gains in both horsepower and torque.

The heart of this system is the oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter, which ensures optimal airflow and filtration. It’s strategically positioned in the original air box space and shielded by a heat shield that helps lower intake air temperatures, further boosting performance. Made from durable mandrel-bent aluminum, the intake tubing features a sleek gunmetal gray powder-coated finish that not only looks great but is built to last.

Designed with practicality in mind, the AEM 21-8109DC is compatible with your vehicle's factory emissions control devices, including the mass air flow sensor. The tapered cylinder shape of the air filter is crafted from oil-free synthetic media, allowing it to be used for up to 100,000 miles before needing a cleaning, depending on your driving conditions.

Installation is a breeze with commonly available tools, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy tackling DIY projects. Plus, it comes backed by AEM's Limited Lifetime Warranty, giving you peace of mind with your purchase.

Whether you are part of a professional race team or just like to push your car to the limit, an AEM intake system is a welcome addition to your vehicle.

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.

What Are the Benefits of an AEM Intake System?

An AEM intake kit maximizes the amount of power you can get from your engine. This increase in power will also help you conserve fuel and increase your fuel efficiency, saving you money at the gas station. In a sense, an AEM intake system helps your car and engine “breathe” more efficiently, allowing it to reach its full potential.

Why Should I Choose an AEM Intake Kit?

AEM is regarded as one of the best aftermarket intake systems on the market, combining quality materials, cutting-edge technology and reliable design to help drivers around the globe improve the power of their engine. All AEM cold air intake systems are engineered to increase your car’s torque and horsepower, and any AEM intake kit comes with a lifetime limited warranty.
