AEM 21-8402DC Brute Force Air Intake System

The AEM 21-8402DC Brute Force Air Intake System is designed to enhance the performance of your Toyota Tacoma or 4Runner, specifically models from 1999 to 2004. By replacing the factory air intake setup, this system aims to improve horsepower and torque, allowing your engine to breathe more freely.

One of the standout features of this intake system is the AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. This filter is not only effective in providing excellent airflow but also easy to maintain, with a lifespan of up to 100,000 miles before needing a clean, depending on your driving conditions. Customers have appreciated the convenience of not having to deal with oiling filters, as this one is designed to be oil-free.

The intake tubing is made from durable mandrel-bent aluminum, finished in a sleek gunmetal gray that not only looks good but also helps reduce intake air temperature. The heat shield included in the design protects the filter from engine heat, further enhancing performance. Installation is straightforward and can be done with common tools, making it accessible for DIY enthusiasts.

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.
