AEM Cold Air Intake System for Volkswagen Golf MK7, Golf R, GTI 2015-2016, Red Aluminum

AEM Cold Air Intake System - Model 21-746WR

Upgrade your 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf MK7, Golf R, or GTI MK7 with the AEM Cold Air Intake System (Model 21-746WR). This high-performance intake is engineered to replace the restrictive factory airbox and filter, delivering a noticeable boost in horsepower and torque. By relocating the air filter outside the engine compartment, it allows your engine to breathe in cooler air, which is denser and packed with more oxygen. The result? A more powerful combustion process that translates into an estimated gain of 13 horsepower at 3800 RPM.

Why Choose AEM?

AEM’s Cold Air Intake Systems are designed for serious performance enthusiasts. The oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter is washable and requires no oil, making maintenance a breeze while ensuring optimal airflow and filtration. The mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube reduces restriction and lowers intake temperatures, maximizing performance.
