If you’re looking to give your Toyota Tacoma or 4Runner a little extra kick, the AEM 21-8402DP Brute Force Air Intake System is worth checking out. This isn’t just some generic upgrade; it's designed specifically for the 1999-2004 Tacoma and 1999-2002 4Runner, so you know it’ll fit like a glove. The factory air filter and intake housing can really choke your engine, but this system replaces all that with a high-flow, washable AEM Dryflow air filter that’s big enough to let your engine breathe freely.
The filter sits snugly in the original air box spot and is shielded from heat, which helps keep intake temperatures down and power up. We're talking about a boost in horsepower and torque, thanks to the thoughtful design and dyno-testing that AEM put into this. The intake tubing is made from mandrel-bent aluminum, giving it a slick chrome-like finish that looks great under the hood while also being tough enough to handle the elements.
One of the best parts? This filter is oil-free and can go up to 100,000 miles before it needs a cleaning, depending on how you drive. Plus, it’s easy to install with just basic tools—no need for a mechanic unless you really want one. AEM backs this up with a lifetime warranty, so you can feel good about your investment.
Just a heads up, though: some AEM intakes aren’t street legal in California and similar states, so make sure to check the fitment details. But if you’re in the clear, you’ll love the way this system wakes up your engine.

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.
