AEM 21-412R Cold Air Intake System

The AEM 21-412R Cold Air Intake System is designed specifically for the Acura Integra models from 1997 to 2001 with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine. This performance intake system replaces the factory air filter and housing, allowing for improved airflow that can lead to noticeable horsepower and torque gains. Customers have reported an increase of about 8 horsepower at 4600 RPM, which can make a significant difference in driving experience.

One of the standout features of this system is the oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. This filter is not only easy to clean but also designed to last up to 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions. Many users appreciate the fact that it doesn't require any oil, simplifying maintenance while still providing excellent filtration and airflow.

The intake tubing is made from durable mandrel-bent aluminum, finished in a striking red powder coat that adds a sporty touch to your engine bay. The design includes a relocation of the air filter to the passenger-side wheel well, which helps to reduce intake air temperature—resulting in better performance. This thoughtful design has garnered positive feedback from customers who enjoy the combination of performance and aesthetics.
