This AEM Performance Cold Air Intake System replaces the restrictive factory air filter and housing on 2019-2023 Toyota Corolla Hatchback 2.0L F/I models to add horsepower and torque. Air enters through an oversized, tapered AEM Dryflow synthetic washable filter located in the original air box space and shielded by a heat shield that reduces intake air temperature. The intake tube is mandrel-bent aluminum with a durable gunmetal gray powder coat finish, and the system is developed to accommodate factory emissions equipment including the mass airflow sensor and breather tube. The oil-free Dryflow filter runs up to 100,000 miles before cleaning under normal conditions. Easy to install with common tools and backed by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty. Some AEM air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards, while others are 50-state legal; refer to the vehicle applications below to determine legal status for a specific vehicle.
