BEST PRICES, AMAZING SERVICE

If you’re looking to give your Volkswagen a bit more grunt, the AEM 21-492C Performance Cold Air Intake System is worth a look. This isn’t just another bolt-on; it’s designed specifically for models like the Jetta and Golf from 1999 to 2005, so you know it’s going to fit right in without any fuss. The factory air filter and intake housing can be pretty restrictive, but this system replaces all that with a much more efficient setup.

What’s cool about this intake is the oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. It’s all about airflow, and this filter does a fantastic job of letting your engine breathe easier. Plus, it’s relocated to the driver-side wheel well, which helps keep the intake air cooler—cooler air means more power. On top of that, it’s good for up to 100,000 miles before you need to clean it, depending on how you drive.

The tubing is made from mandrel-bent aluminum and finished in a sleek gunmetal gray powder coat, so it not only performs well but looks good too. And don’t worry about emissions; this setup is designed to work with your car's factory emissions control devices. It even comes with a mass air flow sensor adapter when needed, making installation straightforward.

In terms of specs, the air filter is 5.25 inches tall with a large end diameter of 6 inches, and the intake pipe is a solid 36 inches long. Everything you need for installation is included—clamps, mounting hardware, and all that jazz. Just keep in mind that while this intake is street legal in all 50 states, some AEM products have restrictions in California, so it's worth checking the specifics for 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 â€œbreatheâ€ more efficiently, allowing it to reach its full potential.

Why Should I Choose an AEM Intake Kit?
