AEM Short Ram Intake Systems are an economical alternative to our Cold Air systems and deliver performance, value and ease of installation over any other short inlet intake. AEM Short Ram Intake Systems install easily under the hood and cost less because we use less material to manufacture them.
During the development process, we found certain applications respond favorably to shorter inlet lengths over AEM’s longer Cold Air designs. For certain applications, an AEM Short Ram Intake System is the only intake available. AEM performs extensive temperature testing to locate the filter in the coolest area of the engine compartment, which allows their AEM Short Ram Intake Systems to achieve the lowest inlet temperatures possible.

The AEM Short Ram Intake is great because I don’t have to worry about hydro locking my engine when its raining. The installation went smoothly and the intake is really well made. I really recommend it.
