Our take on the Cold Air Intake System by AEM (21-544C)

The AEM 21-544C is a cold air intake system for the 2002–2006 Nissan Sentra with the 2.5L four-cylinder. It replaces the stock air box with mandrel-bent tubing that draws air from outside the engine bay, and it uses AEM's oiled Dryflow-style cotton-gauze filter. It suits Sentra 2.5 owners who want a louder intake note and a modest top-end gain and who accept that the filter sits low, where it can pick up water and dirt. Against short-ram intakes it trades a little low-end response for cooler air; against no-name kits it brings AEM's fitment and CARB-exempt paperwork.

Questions and answers

Does it fit my Sentra?
It is made for the 2002–2006 Nissan Sentra with the 2.5L four-cylinder. It does not fit the 1.8L models.
Is it street legal in California?
Yes. AEM lists this kit as CARB-exempt, so it can be used on emissions-tested vehicles.
Will it add noticeable horsepower?
Expect a small gain, mostly at higher rpm. The bigger change is throttle response and sound.
Do I need a tune after installing it?
No. The stock ECU adjusts to the intake on its own. A tune helps only if you add other mods.
How do I clean the filter?
Wash it with the AEM filter cleaner, let it dry, and re-oil it lightly. Do not over-oil it.
What is in the box?
The intake tube, the filter, couplers and clamps, and mounting hardware with instructions.
