The AEM 21-805C cold air intake replaces the restrictive factory air filter and intake housing on specific Chevrolet Cruze models with a system engineered, tuned, and dyno-tested for horsepower and torque gains. Air is drawn through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable filter mounted in the stock air box location and shielded from underhood heat, while mandrel-bent aluminum tubing finished in gunmetal gray powder coat routes air to the throttle body. The system retains the factory mass air sensor for an easy installation.
