If you're looking to give your Toyota MR2 Spyder a serious boost, the AEM 21-462R Performance Cold Air Intake System is a solid choice. This isn't just another aftermarket part—it's been designed and dyno-tested specifically for your ride. By swapping out that restrictive factory air filter and intake housing, you’ll notice some real gains in horsepower and torque. And trust me, you’ll feel the difference when you hit the gas.
One standout feature is the oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. It’s not just about looks; this filter is all about performance and filtration. Plus, it’s conveniently relocated to the driver-side wheel well, which helps keep the intake air cooler—definitely a win for horsepower. The intake tubing is made from mandrel-bent aluminum, finished off in a durable red powder coat that not only looks good but also holds up well over time.
Another thing I love is that this system works with your engine's factory emissions controls, including the mass airflow sensor and vacuum switching valves. It’s all about keeping things compliant while maximizing performance. The tapered cylinder shape of the AEM Dryflow air filter means you can go up to 100,000 miles before needing to clean it, depending on your driving conditions. And yes, it’s washable—no need for messy oil!
AEM backs this system with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, so you know they stand by their product. Just keep in mind that while some AEM intakes are street legal in all 50 states, others aren’t, especially 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.
