We know that sometimes you’re on a budget and can’t spend as much as you’d like on your car. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get a quality product that delivers more horsepower and miles per gallon. AEM Intakes Short Ram systems are a product of the same rigorous development and testing as AEM’s Cold Air systems. AEM Intakes Short Ram systems come with the same high-flow Dryflow air filter and the company performs extensive temperature testing to locate this filter in the coolest area of the engine compartment. In fact, during the development of these systems AEM Intakes found that some vehicles actually performed better with the shorter intake length. An additional benefit to the shorter intake length is that it fits entirely in the engine compartment and is simpler to install. Like all AEM Intakes air intake systems, the AEM Intakes Short Ram Air Intake system is made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Every AEM Intakes air intake system comes with the innovative, oil-free, high-flow AEM Intakes Dryflow air filter. Each Dryflow filter is engineered to exceed the normal flow capacities of the engine it is required for when clean, while providing outstanding filtration and dust holding capacity. And the flow requirements are exceeded by a wide margin, which allows you plenty of leeway for engine breathing modifications, without needing to worry about having enough intake airflow. The AEM Intakes Dryflow filter is constructed of a unique non-woven polyester-based filter media supported by aluminum screen wire for rigid structural strength. This filter media doesn’t require oil to filter and trap dirt and contaminants, and actually sheds dirt under engine vibration, unlike cotton-gauze, which holds onto contaminants until you clean the filter. When it’s time to clean, simply tapping the filter a few times will remove most of the dirt from the filter pleats. Then spray the filter with AEM’s environmentally friendly, mild, all-purpose cleaner. Rinse the filter with clean water and allow to dry, or blow dry with compressed air. Best of all, the Dryflow filter requires no oiling, so there’s never a chance of over-oiling. The Dryflow filter is extremely durable and will withstand almost unlimited cleanings.

Founded in 1987 by John Concialdi (J.C.) and Bob Sullivan as a tuning performance shop, AEM Intakes® offers cutting-edge products that are rigorously tested in its laboratories, and the company confirms its results on the asphalt of the track. With its location in Compton, California, AEM was embedded in the tuner market from the very beginning. It was a matter of being in the right place, at the right time, with the right technical know-how. Innovation has always been the company’s core competency. It continues to lead the way with high-end products that push the envelope of what is possible. Whether you’re looking for an air filter, air intake system, or exhaust system, you’ll discover uncompromising quality paired with an eye-catching and show-worthy appearance.

I got this on sale for $100 during holidays season in 2019 and I have to say, this was an absolute steal. I immediately felt a better response in the throttle and car felt lighter per se. I live in California so I had to get a CARB approved system. For the year I had this, I have zero complaints. The aluminum tube is coated fantastically and it looks amazing. Only issue I had was the AEM sticker was placed too far on the interior side of the tube so when the engine cover goes on, the AEM sticker is not easily visible, but I assume that was a simply human error at the end of production. Overall, this is a great system but I do not know if I can justify a $250 price tag on this. I would say just get the K&N one if you want to save $30. Otherwise, this is still a great system in my experience if you are either residing in California or looking for a drop-in filter system.
