Our take on the AEM Performance Cold Air Intake

The AEM Cold Air Intake System (C.A.S.) is a bolt-on intake for the 2019–2020 Kia Forte with the 2.0L four-cylinder. It replaces the stock airbox with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube and an AEM Dryflow synthetic filter, drawing cooler air from outside the engine bay. It is aimed at Forte owners who want a modest power and sound gain without a tune. Against rivals like K&N and Injen, its selling point is the washable oil-free filter and a no-tune install, though gains are small and it is not street-legal in every state.

Questions and answers

Does it fit a 2021 Kia Forte 2.0L?
It is listed for the 2019–2020 Forte 2.0L. Later model years may differ, so confirm the fitment for your car before buying.
Do I need a tune?
No. It is designed as a no-tune bolt-on, and the stock ECU adjusts to the increased airflow.
How much power does it add?
Gains are modest and mostly at higher rpm. Expect a small improvement rather than a dramatic change.
Is the filter washable?
Yes. The AEM Dryflow filter is reusable and cleaned with water and detergent, with no oiling needed.
Is it legal in California?
Check the CARB exemption status for your model year. Not every AEM intake carries an EO number for all states.

The intake tube, Dryflow filter, couplers, clamps and mounting hardware for the install.
Where is the AEM Performance Cold Air Intake cheapest?
At VEX Motorsports, for $395.56, as of our latest check.
