AEM Cold Air Intake for 15-20 Audi A3/S3, 15-21 GTI, 15-18 Golf, 19+ GLI
AEM pioneered the Cold Air induction system for sport compact cars in 1994. A Cold Air intake (or CAI) system relocates the filter away from the engine compartment to deliver the coolest air inlet temperatures possible. Cooler air carries more oxygen, which translates into a more intense explosion in the combustion chamber to create more horesepower and torque. But that's only part of the power equation. Tuning the inlet pipe in length and diameter to match the engine's resonance helps move more air to the cylinders (think of your engine as a big air pump), and no company on the market can tune an inlet as well as we can. We also monitor fuel trim correction factors and all OBDII sensors during R&D to eliminate leaning the engine out and/or throwing a check engine light. Our Cold Air systems are dyno-proven and tested against the competition to create more useable power than any other system of their kind. Every AEM Cold Air induction system features the highest standards of construction and we are so confident in their fit and performance that we guarantee them for the life of your vehicle. All AEM Cold Air systems are either 50-state legal or pending (excluding "Off Road" and "Hybrid" systems), include a lifetime DRYFLOW Synthetic air filter and come with a limited lifetime warranty. IMPORTANT NOTE: This intake is not CARB exempt and is not legal for street use in California. Race applications only. Please review your local laws before purchasing.
