AEM Cold Air Intake System For Volkswagen Jetta 2016-2018 1.4L Aluminium Gunmetal Gray P/N 21-797C

The AEM Cold Air Intake System (P/N 21-797C) is designed to deliver increased horsepower and torque by replacing your vehicleƒ??s restrictive factory air filter and intake housing. Specifically tuned and dyno-tested for Volkswagen Jetta models from 2016 to 2018 with the 1.4L engine, this system enhances throttle response and overall engine performance. By improving airflow and drawing in cooler air, the system promotes more efficient combustion and power output.

Air enters through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter, which is washable, oil-free, and designed for outstanding filtration and airflow. The filter is mounted in the original air box location and protected by a custom heat shield that helps reduce intake air temperature. The mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube features a tough gunmetal gray powder-coated finish for lasting durability and a refined appearance. This system is engineered to integrate with the factory emissions equipment, including the breather hose, and offers a hassle-free installation. The air filter lasts up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is required, depending on driving conditions. Backed by AEMƒ??s Lifetime Limited Warranty, this intake is a smart and efficient upgrade for your Jetta. Emissions legality may vary by stateƒ??check the application guide before purchasing.

Key features:

  • Boosts performance: Improves horsepower and torque by enhancing airflow.

  • Heat protection: Custom heat shield reduces intake air temperature for better efficiency.

  • Dryflow filter: Oversized, synthetic, oil-free filter is washable and reusable.

  • Strong construction: Mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube with gunmetal gray coating.
