AEM Cold Air Intake System 21-448R for Chevrolet Cavalier & Pontiac Sunfire 2003-2005 - 21-448R

If you're looking to give your Pontiac Sunfire or Chevrolet Cavalier a serious boost, the AEM 21-448R Performance Cold Air Intake System might just be the upgrade you need. This isn't just another aftermarket part; it's been designed, tuned, and dyno-tested specifically for these models, so you know it’s going to fit like a glove. By swapping out the factory air filter and intake housing, you’ll not only free up some horsepower and torque but also enhance your engine's overall performance.

One of the standout features here is the oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. It’s engineered for top-notch airflow and filtration, which means your engine gets the clean air it craves without the hassle of constant replacements. Plus, it’s located in the driver-side wheel well, which helps keep intake air cooler—cool air means more power. When it comes to the intake tubing, you’re looking at durable mandrel-bent aluminum with a slick black and red powder-coated finish. It’s not just about looks; this stuff is built to last and perform.

Another thing I appreciate is how this system accommodates the factory emissions controls, including the IAT sensor and breather hose, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility. The AEM Dryflow air filter is oil-free and can go up to 100,000 miles before needing a clean, depending on how you drive. And let’s not forget the peace of mind that comes with AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty. Just check the legal status for your state—some models are street legal everywhere, but others might have restrictions.

AEM Intake

AEM intake offers the very best cold air intake systems on the market, providing drivers with everything they need to get the most out of their vehicle. At Vivid Racing, we are proud to offer our customers AEM cold air intake systems, providing this trusted and reliable brand to all types of drivers.

Whether you are part of a professional race team or just like to push your car to the limit, an AEM intake system is a welcome addition to 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.

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.
