The AEM 21-8222DC Brute Force Air Intake System is designed to deliver increased horsepower and torque by replacing the restrictive factory air filter and intake housing in select Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup models. This system has been engineered, tuned, and dyno-tested to ensure performance gains specific to these applications. It features an extra-large AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter that offers outstanding airflow and filtration while being washable, reusable, and oil-free. The filter is positioned in the original air box location and protected by a custom heat shield, which helps reduce intake air temperatures for greater engine efficiency. The intake tube is made from mandrel-bent aluminum and finished in a durable gunmetal gray powder coat to ensure long-lasting performance and rugged under-hood appearance. The system also supports factory emissions control components, including the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor and crankcase breather hose, ensuring a secure and compliant fit. The oval-shaped Dryflow filter is built for longevity and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions.
