Description

The AEM 21-788C Performance Cold Air Intake System delivers noticeable horsepower and torque improvements by replacing the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on select Chevrolet Sonic models from 2012 to 2020. Designed, tuned, and dyno-tested for optimal fit and performance, this intake system maximizes airflow and engine efficiency.

Featuring an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter, the system provides exceptional airflow, filtration, and durability without the need for oiling. Positioned in the original air box location and protected by a heat shield, the air filter helps reduce intake air temperature to boost engine power. The intake tube is crafted from mandrel-bent aluminum and finished in a durable gunmetal gray powder coating for strength and style.

Engineered to work seamlessly with the factory emissions controls, including the mass air sensor, this intake system ensures reliable operation and compliance. The oil-free Dryflow filter media can last up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is required, depending on driving conditions. Installation is straightforward with commonly available tools, and the system is backed by AEMƒ??s Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Please note that some AEM cold air intake systems may not be legal for sale or use in California or other states adopting California emission standards. Check vehicle applications for legal status before purchasing.

Key Features:

  • Increases horsepower and torque by improving airflow

  • Oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter for superior filtration and performance

  • Heat shield reduces intake air temperature to enhance power output

  • Mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube with durable gunmetal gray powder coat

  • Designed to fit factory emissions components including mass air sensor

  • Oil-free synthetic filter media lasts up to 100,000 miles between cleanings

  • Easy installation with common hand tools

  • Backed by AEMƒ??s Lifetime Limited Warranty
