The AEM Cold Air Systems are 50 states Street Legal (some model and years still pending) and come with complete instructions for ease of installation. Our system is constructed of lightweight aluminum and then painted with a zirconia based powder coat for superior heat insulating characteristics. The aluminum will not crack in extended use like plastic and it is actually lighter than plastic. The tube diameter and length are matched for each engine to give power over a broad rpm range. Unlike the plastic systems that use a continually diverging cross section, we take advantage of the acoustical energy in the duct to promote cylinder filling during the intake valve-opening event.

TO START:
1. Turn the ignition OFF and disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the air temperature sensor electrical connection as shown.
3. Unclip the battery cable from the air inlet duct as shown.
4. Loosen and remove the two bolts that secure the air inlet duct as shown.
5. Remove the air inlet duct.
6. Loosen and remove the four bolts that secure the air intake resonator.

The AEM Hybrid Intake System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of hybrid cars. Each system is engineered for the particular application. The AEM Hybrid Intake System differs from all others in several ways. AEM has conducted extensive inlet air temperature studies and we have seen temperature reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment. The air mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, which translates to more power. The AEM Hybrid Intake Systems come with complete instructions for ease of installation.

Removal of the Stock Air Intake System
a) Loosen the clamp around the throttle body using a 5.5mm socket or screwdriver. Pull the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor out of the intake tube by loosening the spring loaded clamp.
b) Unplug the breather tube from the fitting underneath the intake manifold.
c) Remove the air box mounting bolt shown in the picture.
d) Remove the other air box mounting shown in the picture.
e) Carefully remove the air box assembly from the engine bay.
f) Remove the two fasteners holding the plastic cover in front of the battery.

These instructions will take you through the installation of your new air intake system for your vehicle. We always recommend that you keep your stock air intake system in storage in case you might need it later.
Kit includes: air filter, air intake tube, bracket, (2) 3” hose clamps, red connecting hose and rubber grommet.
Tools required: Phillips head screwdriver and 5/16” nut driver.

The AEM Brute Force Intake System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. It is the most advanced short pipe air intake system on the market. Each system is specifically engineered for its particular application. All AEM Brute Force Intake Systems deliver maximum performance gains through the lightweight, all-aluminum, mandrel-bent tubing that is tuned in both length and diameter. The tube length and diameter are matched for each specific engine to give power over a broad RPM range. Every intake is coated with a high-gloss, heat-reducing Zirconia based powder coating.

Getting Started
a) Make sure vehicle is parked on a level surface. Set parking brake.
b) Disconnect negative battery terminal from the battery.
c) If engine has run within the past two hours, let it cool down.

Removal of the stock intake system.
a) Before removing any of the O.E. components, label each individual part so that no components become mixed up during the installation process.

The tube length and diameter are matched for each specific engine to give power over a broad RPM range. Every intake is coated with a high-gloss, heat-reducing Zirconia based powder coating. This special blend of powder coating helps reduce heat penetration, which in turn reduces the temperature of the inlet air charge. The cooler inlet air temperature translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm air. The air mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, which translates to more power.
