AEM is easily one of the most widely recognized names in the aftermarket automotive industry. However, most don’t know that their humble beginnings are rooted in California, circa 1987. They began as a tuning performance shop that catered to imports and vintage autos. Due to their location in California, AEM was part of the tuner market from its very beginnings in the US. Their notoriety quickly grew as cars built by their shop consistently won street and sanctioned events.

This success is surely based on the innovation that fuels their business. AEM was the first company to bring a packaged air induction system to the tuner market. It was the product of their extensive R&D, dyno testing and well-thought out engineering. While their first intake was created for the Honda CRX, their current catalog boasts applications numbering in the hundreds. It’s this innovation that continues to raise the bar and push the envelope of possibility, while also making AEM the company to beat!

As a company that has been around since the beginning of the tuner movement, CYL is truly honored to have to opportunity to work with and represent such a great company. So when your project calls for the best air induction system on the market, looks no further than AEM. Their intakes are engineered to outperform!

Be sure to check out their website (www.aemintakes.com) to see their full product line of air intake systems and air filters.
