If you’re looking to give your Ram 1500 or Dodge Ram 1500 a little extra oomph, the AEM 21-8222DC Brute Force Air Intake System is definitely worth considering. This isn’t just some generic bolt-on; it’s designed specifically for your truck and has been fine-tuned and dyno-tested to really make a difference. By swapping out the factory air filter and intake housing, you’ll notice a solid boost in both horsepower and torque. We’re talking about an estimated gain of around 8 horsepower at 4700 RPM, which can really change how your truck feels on the road.
One of the standout features here is the extra-large AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. It’s not just about size; this filter is built to provide outstanding airflow and filtration without the hassle of oiling it up like traditional filters. You can run it for up to 100,000 miles before needing to clean it, depending on your driving conditions. Plus, it fits right into the original air box space and is protected by a heat shield that helps keep the intake air temperature down, which is key for maximizing performance.
The intake tubing is made from mandrel-bent aluminum and sports a durable gunmetal gray powder-coated finish. It’s not just for looks—this material is tough and ready to handle the heat and pressure from your engine. AEM made sure to keep everything emissions compliant too, so it accommodates the factory emissions control devices, including the IAT sensor and crankcase breather hose. That means you can enjoy the performance boost without worrying about legal issues.
Installation is straightforward, and everything you need comes in the box, including the necessary mounting hardware. Just a heads up, while this system is street legal in all states, some AEM intakes might not be compliant in California, so it’s worth checking the specific application for 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.
