AEM 21-448B Performance Cold Air Intake System
If you own a 2003-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier or a 2003-2005 Pontiac Sunfire, it's time to ditch that restrictive factory air intake and unleash your engine's true potential with the AEM 21-448B Performance Cold Air Intake System. This system is specifically designed, tuned, and dyno-tested to boost horsepower and torque, delivering a noticeable performance upgrade that you can feel on the road.
How It Works
The AEM 21-448B utilizes an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter, strategically relocated to the driver-side wheel well. This placement not only enhances airflow but also lowers intake air temperatures, resulting in increased horsepower. The mandrel-bent aluminum intake tubing, finished in a sleek black and blue powder coat, ensures durability and a clean look under the hood.
Fitment and Compatibility
This cold air intake system seamlessly integrates with your vehicle's factory emissions control devices, including the IAT sensor and breather hose, making installation straightforward. Plus, it's street legal in all 50 states, so you can enjoy enhanced performance without worrying about compliance.

Customer Feedback
One Pontiac Sunfire owner shared, "After installing the AEM 21-448B, I felt an immediate difference in throttle response and power. The sound is aggressive, and I love how it looks under the hood!"
Notes

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.
