The AEM 21-466P Performance Cold Air Intake System is engineered for the 2003 Toyota Matrix XRS with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine. This intake system replaces the factory air filter and intake housing, optimizing airflow and enhancing both horsepower and torque. The design includes an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter, strategically relocated to the driver-side wheel well to minimize intake air temperature and maximize engine performance.
Constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum, the intake tubing features a polished powder-coated finish for durability and aesthetic appeal. It accommodates the factory emissions control devices, including the mass air flow sensor and vacuum lines, ensuring compliance and ease of installation. The tapered cylinder shape of the AEM Dryflow air filter is designed for maximum airflow, utilizing an oil-free synthetic media that can be cleaned and reused for up to 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions.
AEM backs the 21-466P with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, providing confidence in your investment. It's important to note that while some AEM intakes are not legal for sale or use in California, the 21-466P is CARB exempt (EO D-670-15), making it street legal in all US states.
California Air Resources Board Exempt: Yes; CARB EO: D-670-15

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.
