Boost your Chevrolet Cruze’s performance with the AEM Cold Air Intake System, engineered to replace the restrictive factory air intake components and deliver noticeable gains in horsepower and torque. Designed, tuned, and dyno-tested specifically for select Cruze models, this system improves airflow with an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter—oil-free, washable, and reusable for long-term use. The air filter is housed in the original air box location and protected by a heat shield that reduces intake air temperatures, optimizing combustion efficiency. A mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube with a durable gunmetal gray powder-coated finish provides smoother airflow and enhanced durability. This intake system is built to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s factory emissions components, including the mass air flow sensor. With easy installation using standard hand tools and AEM’s trusted engineering, this upgrade offers reliable performance and everyday drivability.
