AEM Short Ram intake systems are an economical alternative to the Cold Air systems and deliver the best performance, value and ease of installation than any other short inlet intake. The AEM Short Ram intakes install easily under the hood and cost less because we use less material to manufacture them.
During the development process, AEM found certain applications respond favourably to shorter inlet lengths over our longer Cold Air designs. For these applications (denoted in the search results page), they offer a Short Ram system only. AEM perform extensive temperature testing to locate the filter in the coolest area of the engine compartment, which allows the Short Ram systems to achieve the lowest inlet temperatures possible.
