Our take on the AEM 19-24 Nissan Altima Air Intake System- 21-878DS

The AEM 21-878DS is a cold air intake system for the 2019-2024 Nissan Altima with the 2.5L four-cylinder engine. It replaces the stock air box with mandrel-bent tubing and an open-element AEM Dryflow filter made of non-woven synthetic material, so no oiling is needed at cleaning time. It suits Altima owners who want a louder intake note and a reusable filter, and it is a simpler bolt-on than full intake manifolds or turbo kits. Against rival intakes, its main draw is the oil-free Dryflow filter and AEM's established fitment for this chassis; gains on a naturally aspirated 2.5L are modest, and the open filter draws underhood heat unless a heat shield is added.

About the AEM 19-24 Nissan Altima Air Intake System- 21-878DS

This cold air intake system fits 2019-2024 Nissan Altima models with the 2.5L L4 fuel-injected engine. It replaces the restrictive factory air intake housing so the engine can breathe more air. It is designed, tuned and dyno-tested to produce more horsepower and torque.

Air enters through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter. The filter is tapered and cylinder shaped, and it is made from an oil-free synthetic media. It can be used for up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed, depending on driving conditions.

The intake tube is mandrel-bent aluminum with a durable silver powder coated finish. A custom shaped heat shield with lid is included. The system is backed by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Questions and answers

Does it fit my Altima?
It is built for the 2019-2024 Nissan Altima with the 2.5L four-cylinder engine. It does not fit the 2.0L turbo or older generations.
Do I have to oil the filter?
No. The filter is non-woven synthetic, so you clean and reinstall it dry. That avoids the over-oiling problems that can foul mass airflow sensors.
Will it add noticeable horsepower?
Expect small gains. On a naturally aspirated 2.5L, most of the change is sound and throttle feel rather than a big power bump.
Is a heat shield included?
No air box or heat shield is included. The filter sits open in the engine bay, so it can draw warmer air in stop-and-go traffic.
Is it street legal in California?
Check the CARB exemption status for part 21-878DS before buying if you register the car in California or another emissions-restricted state.
What is in the box?
The intake tube, the red Dryflow filter, couplers, clamps and mounting hardware. The stock air box is removed during install.
