AEM short ram intake systems are an economical alternative to our cold air systems and deliver performance, value and ease of installation. Our short ram intakes 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 our longer cold air designs. For these applications, we offer a short ram system only. We perform extensive temperature testing to locate the filter in the coolest area of the engine compartment.
