$399.99
Free Shipping

If you’re looking to give your diesel engine a serious boost, the AEM 21-9021DC Brute Force HD Diesel Air Intake System is worth your attention. This isn’t just another part; it’s designed specifically for the GMC Sierra 2500 HD, 3500, and Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 3500 models from 2001 to 2004. By swapping out your restrictive factory air filter and intake housing, you’ll notice gains in horsepower and torque that you can actually feel.

The heart of this system is the extra-large AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. It’s all about airflow, and this filter has got you covered. With a height of 9 inches and a round outlet that's 4 inches wide, it’s built to let your engine breathe. Plus, you can run it for up to 100,000 miles before needing a cleaning, depending on how you drive. And the best part? No oiling required—just rinse and reuse.

The intake tubing is made from mandrel-bent aluminum, finished in a sleek gunmetal gray that not only looks good but is also durable. It fits right in the original air box space and comes with a heat shield to keep those intake temperatures down, which is crucial for performance. This setup accommodates all your factory emissions control devices, including the mass air flow sensor, so you won’t run into any issues there.

Installation is straightforward. You can tackle it with common tools, and AEM backs it up with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, so you know they stand by their product. Just a heads up, some AEM intakes aren't street legal in California, so make sure to check the legal status for your specific 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.
