• Tube finish: Black.
• Washable AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter.
• Oil-free filter media; no filter oil is required after cleaning.

Installation & Compatibility

Confirm engine, trim, sensor arrangement, and the applicable fitment entries before ordering. Install all retained factory connections and check for air leaks before operation. Inspect the filter according to operating conditions; dusty environments and track use can require more frequent service. Emissions eligibility depends on the exact vehicle application; do not assume approval from the intake family name.

Vehicle Fitment

Match the engine, trim, and required connections as well as the model year.
