The AEM 22-454P Short Ram Air Intake System is a precision-engineered upgrade for the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar equipped with a 2.5L V6 engine. This intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and intake housing, allowing for improved airflow and enhanced engine performance. Designed and tuned specifically for the Mercury Cougar, the AEM intake system has undergone rigorous dyno testing to ensure optimal results.
At the heart of this system is the oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter, which provides superior airflow and filtration. This oil-free filter can last up to 100,000 miles before requiring cleaning, depending on driving conditions. The intake tubing is constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum with a polished finish, contributing to both aesthetics and durability. The design accommodates factory emissions control devices, including the inlet air temperature sensor and mass airflow sensor.
Installation is straightforward and can be completed with commonly available tools. The system is backed by AEM's Limited Lifetime Warranty, ensuring long-term reliability. Note that while this intake is street legal in all US states, it is essential to verify the CARB compliance status for your specific application.

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.
