If you're looking to give your Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass, or Patriot a serious boost in performance, the AEM 21-8217DP Performance Cold Air Intake System is worth checking out. This isn't just a flashy upgrade; it actually replaces that factory air filter and intake housing that can really choke your engine's potential. When you swap it out for this AEM system, you can expect noticeable gains in horsepower and torque. It’s been designed, tuned, and dyno-tested specifically for these models, so you know it’s going to fit right in and perform well.
One of the standout features here is the oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. This bad boy is all about airflow and filtration, ensuring that your engine gets the clean air it needs to perform at its best. It’s cleverly placed in the original air box space, which helps keep the intake air temperature down, ultimately boosting horsepower. The intake tubing is made from mandrel-bent aluminum and has a polished, chrome-like finish that not only looks great but is built to last.
What’s more, this intake system is engineered to work with your engine's factory emissions control devices, including the IAT sensor and crankcase breather hose, so you don’t have to worry about any compatibility issues. And let’s talk about maintenance—this air filter can go up to 100,000 miles before needing a clean, depending on your driving conditions. That’s a solid stretch of time without worrying about your intake.
Just a heads up, though: while some AEM air intakes are street legal in all 50 states, others aren’t, especially in California. So, make sure to check the vehicle applications to see if this one fits your state’s regulations.
California Air Resources Board Exempt: Yes; CARB EO: D-670-15; AEM - Metal Intake System; Polished (CAS)

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.
