AEM 22-401P Polished Short Ram Intake System, Chrome

AEM 22-401P Short Ram Intake – Key Features & Functions

High-Flow Short Ram Design

Improves airflow efficiency:

• Short, direct intake path
• Reduced airflow restriction
• Faster air delivery to the engine

More air = more power. Not complicated.

AEM Air Intake Systems are designed to produce massive horsepower and torque gains in addition to better engine sound when used instead for the factory airbox and air filter.

Polished Aluminum Intake Tube

Performance and style:

• Smooth internal surface for better airflow
• Polished chrome-like finish
• Corrosion-resistant construction

Looks as good as it performs.

Enhanced Throttle Response

Immediate gains:

• Faster engine response to throttle input
• Improved mid-range acceleration
• More engaging driving experience

Because laggy throttle response isn’t fun.

AEM intake systems are designed, tuned, and dyno-tested to fit specific cars and trucks. These air intakes on a regular basis include an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter for outstanding air waft, filtration, and performance even as allowing easy oil-free cleaning.

Reusable High-Flow Air Filter

Better filtration and airflow:

• Washable and reusable filter
• Increased airflow over stock filter
• Long-term cost savings

Cleaner air, better performance.

Dyno-Proven Performance Gains

Typical improvements include:

• Increased horsepower
• Improved torque
• More consistent airflow

Not just noise—actual gains.

Most AEM intake systems use mandrel-bent aluminum intake tubes, powder coated heat shields, and top quality hardware designed to reduce restriction and reduce intake temperature.

Easy Bolt-On Installation

Designed for simplicity:

• Direct fit for supported applications
• Includes necessary hardware
• No major modifications required

Because upgrades shouldn’t require engineering degrees.
