In April of 1999, the Honda Motor Company officially launched the Honda S2000 roadster. The S2000 was created to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. The S2000 served a dual purpose to Honda as a celebratory icon as well as a tribute to the company's first production car; the S500 sports car.

The S2000 has undergone several changes and upgrades since its origin. Starting with the 2006 model year, the S2000 comes powered by a 2.2-liter, inline, four-cylinder (F22C1) engine. Known as the "second generation" or "AP2" model, the S2000 is more powerful and fun to drive than ever before. To give S2000 owners even more to celebrate about, AEM has released the 21-690 Cold Air Intake System for the 2006-2009 Honda S2000.

Available in two finishes, the 21-690 Cold Air Intake system comes in either a gunmetal gray finish (21-690C) or a polished finish (21-690P). The 21-690 Cold Air Intake is constructed in a three-piece design using high-quality aluminum intake piping. Originating at the S2000's throttlebody, the 21-690 intake system relies on a series of mandrel bent curves to reach the vehicle's front bumper where the DryFlow Performance Air filter is located. By mounting the DryFlow air filter in the front bumper of the S2000, the best source for cool air inlet temperatures is attained.

The S2000's performance is vastly improved with the AEM 21-690 cold air intake system in place rather than the restrictive factory air intake components. As tested on a 2008 Honda S2000, AEM was able to realize a maximum gain of 7.67 horsepower at 7,300 RPM. Installation takes 90 minutes or less using basic tools.

The 21-690 Cold Air Intake System for the S2000 uses a 21-2113DK DryFlow Performance air filter. The 21-2113DK has a 3.25-inch (83mm) inlet diameter and a height of 7-inches (178mm) allowing abundant airflow into the S2000's F22C1 engine. The oil-free DRYFLOW technology is extremely durable and easy to clean. To further augment the filtration properties of the DryFlow performance filter, AEM also offers DryFlow Pre-Filters (Part number 1-4007 for the 21-690 intake system). Designed to prevent splashes of water and/or mud from saturating the DryFlow air filter, AEM's Pre-Filters are manufactured from durable micro-screen materials that are pretreated with a proprietary hydrophobic process.

2006-2011 Lexus IS350 Gets 11 Horsepower with AEM's Electronically Tuned Intake

AEM Gunmetal Gray ETI Air Intake for Lexus IS350 V6

The Lexus IS has had a cult following since its induction to the Lexus family of luxury vehicles in 2001. The sporty yet luxurious sedan appealed to the masses with its sleek lines and six-cylinder powerplant. Young and mature drivers alike gravitated to the IS model for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it was the entry-level model offered by Lexus, it featured a tuner-friendly platform, and the vehicle had power on tap. Fast-forward a few years and Lexus revamps the IS nameplate in 2006 by introducing the second-generation IS model, the IS350. With a 3.5-liter V6 engine under the hood and redesigned exterior, the IS350 has once again become a staple in the entry-level luxury sedan class.

The highly efficient 3.5-liter engine of the IS packs just over 300 horsepower at the engine which translates to 225 wheel horsepower (as tested by AEM). With a major loss of power through the drivetrain, AEM focused on regaining some of the lost power through a cold air intake system. After much research, AEM opted to utilize the newest in Electronically Tuned Intake (ETI) technology on the 2006-09 Lexus IS350 with 3.5-liter V6 engine. An ETI system (Part Number 41-1402C for Gunmetal Gray and 41-1402P for Polished) was designed for the IS, optimizing the intake tube diameter for maximum airflow to the throttle body. AEM's ETI intake systems are designed to electronically manipulate the vehicle's MAF sensor readings. With the optimal inlet tube diameter, the ETI module (included) adjusts the air density readings in order to realize large horsepower and torque gains.

On the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Lexus IS350, utilizing ETI technology translates into a maximum gain of 11 horsepower at just 4,400 RPM.

Power increases can be seen throughout the powerband on the IS350 with AEM's ETI cold air intake in place. Installation is straight forward using common tools.

This massive increase in performance is also coupled with outstanding filtration through AEM's DRYFLOW performance air filter. For the 41-1402C and 41-1402P intake systems, AEM elected to use the 21-2110DK air filter. The 21-2110DK air filter's construction consists of an inside diameter of 3.25-inches (83mm) and a height of 5.25-inches (133mm). AEM DRYFLOW air filters are reusable, washable synthetic air filters that have been designed for the optimum combination of airflow, filtration and performance. DRYFLOW filters utilize oil-free filtration media that offers easy cleaning, durability and longevity.

By filtering and keeping much of the dirt from the DryFilter air filter an AEM pre-filter wrap helps to extend the length of time between DryFlow air filter cleanings. They stop small dirt particles yet they add little restriction to the air flow of your filter.

Each of these DryFlow Pre-filters comes with a yellow printed AEM logo. Each one is also made to fit a specific sized filter. There are more than 600 AEM air filters and air intakes that use one of these six Pre-Filters as an accessory.  Look up your AEM DryFlow Air Filter or Air Intake by Part or Application to see if a DryFlow Pre-Filter is available for your product.

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe was released as a direct competitor to sports cars such as the Infiniti G37 and Nissan 370Z. With styling cues derived from both challengers, the Hyundai comes out of the gates strong in the appearance segment. The Genesis Coupe also features high-quality components such as Brembo performance brakes, a limited-slip differential and a Mitsubishi TD04H turbocharger. It is in the power department however that the Genesis Coupe lacks amongst its counterparts. Weighing in at a hefty 3,294 Lbs., the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine only musters up 210 horsepower. In class of vehicles that generate right around 300 horsepower, the Genesis falls a few ponies short.

Where the Genesis Coupe excels however is in its price tag and in its tuner-friendly design. The 2010, 2011 and 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a starting MSRP of just $22k.

AEM Cold Air Intake System 21-687P for 2010, 2011 and 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0L


Since the introduction of the Genesis Coupe, AEM has been working on several performance components for the 2.0-liter turbo engine. To increase the airflow to the turbocharged engine, AEM has proudly released two Cold Air Intake Systems for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the 2.0-liter engine (Part Numbers 21-687C and 21-687P).

The 21-687C and 21-687P cold air intake system connects directly to the Genesis' TD04H turbo compressor inlet. From the turbocharger, the intake inlet tube is directed to the passenger side wheel well. In order to make a clear path to the passenger side wheel well, AEM engineers had to redesign the vehicle's windshield washer tank. To this end, the AEM cold air intakes for the Genesis (21-687C and 21-687P) include a high-quality windshield washer tank to replace the factory unit. With the AEM washer tank in place, the mandrel-bent aluminum inlet tube is routed to the passenger wheel well and is capped by a DRYFLOW performance air filter (Part Number 21-2047DK).  The 21-2047DK DRYFLOW performance air filter features an inlet diameter of 3.5-inches (89mm) and a height of 7-inches (178mm). The oil-free DRYFLOW technology is extremely durable and easy to clean.

With its efficient design, the 21-687C and 21-687P air intake systems are able to produce a maximum gain of seven horsepower at 6,500 RPM on the 2.0-liter engine. By allowing the turbocharger to take in more airflow, peak power is also improved with the addition of the AEM cold air intake. This cold air intake system is simple to install using basic tools.
