The AEM 21-846C cold air intake replaces the restrictive factory air filter and intake housing on specific Subaru Impreza and Crosstrek models, allowing the engine to breathe more freely than the restrictive factory intake housing. It is designed, tuned, and dyno-tested to produce more horsepower and torque. The cone-shaped AEM Dryflow air filter is oil-free and washable, and a custom shaped heat shield with edge trim lining keeps engine bay heat away from the filter. The intake tube is mandrel-bent aluminum finished in a durable gunmetal gray powder coat.
