Raymond Arellano Brought his AEM Equipped Jetta SportWagen to the 2014 SEMA Show

To achieve the perfect stance Raymond lowered his SportWagen with an H&R Race Spring Lowering Kit
To achieve the perfect stance Raymond lowered his SportWagen with an H&R Race Spring Lowering Kit and the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen rolls on new for 2015 MKW Alloy RSR wheels
Raymond Arellano’s Volkswagen Jetta may have five doors, but this Jetta SportWagen has nothing in common with the faux wood panel covered station wagon that the Griswold family drove to Wally World in the classic 1983 film National Lampoon’s Vacation. In fact this German engineered Volkswagen SportWagen blends Autobahn inspired performance, with versatility, and an EPA estimated 33 highway miles per gallon.

To complete the true euro sport wagon look Arellano added Thule AeroBlade Edge base roof racks because a real euro sport wagon needs a place to haul snowboards or mountain bikes


When asked why he chose to customize a wagon, Raymond responded “Wagons are so few and far between in the states. Only a small amount of people think wagons are cool. But when you have one that looks like this, everyone wants one. It’s an eye catcher!” Even the fact that Volkswagen chose to use a 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine makes the Jetta SportWagen unique. “I built the SportWagen because it’s a nice and small compact wagon with a touch of European style. I thought it would be great to see one lowered with aftermarket wheels and some engine mods,” said Arellano.

To achieve the perfect stance Raymond lowered his SportWagen with an H&R Race Spring Lowering Kit. This lowering kit from H&R lowered the front 2.0-inches and the rear was lowered 1.75”. The SportWagen rolls on new for 2015 MKW Alloy RSR wheels. To showcase the new Road Street Race (RSR) wheels offered by MKW Alloy, Raymond fitted R701 Anthracite Gray 19” wheels on the passenger side and R702 Black Machined 19” wheels on the driver side. The MKW Alloy RSR wheels are wrapped in Kumho Ecsta LE Sport 235/35R19 tires front and rear. Chrome lug nuts and locks from the Lug Nut Guys finish off the wheel and tire package.

With the AEM cold air intake system the car feels less restricted and really opens up on acceleration
When asked what he thought of his new AEM intake, number 21-733C, Raymond replied “With the AEM cold air intake system the car feels less restricted and really opens up on acceleration.”
Helping to turn those 19” race wheels a little quicker is a Borla Exhaust Spitfire Boomer Muffler with a dual outlet pipe, and a Volkswagen Performance tuning chip. No respectable sport compact build would be complete without an air intake system from the leaders in cold air intake systems, AEM Induction Systems. Raymond fitted AEM short ram intake system 21-733C onto his Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. When asked what he thought of his new AEM intake, Raymond replied “With the AEM cold air intake system the car feels less restricted and really opens up on acceleration. That deep intake sound combined with the Borla exhaust really makes this wagon into a true SportWagen.”

The Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen’s European styling was helped along by several exterior and interior accessories. An R-Line sport front bumper with clear side marker lights adds to the wagons sporty looks, as does the O-Nex.com HID headlight kit and full Canbus LED light kits inside and out. Other small touches take Raymond’s Volkswagen to the next level. Completing the true euro sport wagon look is the Thule AeroBlade Edge base roof racks. After all, a real euro sport wagon needs a place to haul snowboards or mountain bikes.

2015 & 2016 Subaru WRX STi 2.5L Turbo with AEM Cold Air Intake Get Power Boost & Style Points

AEM cold air intake for the 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi with an EJ257 engine
AEM cold air intake, number 21-735WB, for the 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi with an EJ257 engine is powdercoated in a wrinkle-black finish for increased power without being flashy

Subaru has given its flagship model, the WRX STi, a near complete redesign for the 2015 and 2016 model year. The 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi, can’t be called all new because one thing hasn’t changed, namely the EJ257 intercooled and turbocharged 2.5L H4 boxer engine. AEM has a solid reputation for making Subaru WRX intake systems as the AEM cold air intake for the previous generation Subaru WRX STi made impressive power gains.

The 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi shown here in a special purple vinyl wrap attended the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada and is equipped with an AEM performance cold air intake

AEM intakes has once again stepped up to the plate with cold air intake (CAI) 21-735WB, and produced an amazing estimated 32 horsepower maximum increase at the wheels of an otherwise stock 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi. Dyno testing on the 21-735WB cold air intake was performed to back our substantial claims of increased horsepower. AEM dyno tests prove that this CAI produced an estimated maximum gain of 32 horsepower @ 5400 RPM and an estimated increased in torque of 31 lb-ft @ 5400 RPM.

The AEM cold air intake design for the 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi positions the AEM Dryflow Air Filter in a location near the front of the car to help pull fresh air from outside the engine compartment. Bringing in cooler outside air can result in more power. The AEM synthetic Dryflow air filter is designed for low restriction without compromising engine protection. The AEM 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi cold air intake Dryflow filter is washable and reusable. An AEM dry filter uses a synthetic air filter media and does not require oil which allows for quick, easy cleaning. An application specific powdercoated aluminum heat shield is included in the AEM CAI for the 2015 and 2016 STi to help prevent engine heat from increasing the inlet air temperature. "Excellent air inlet temperature management ensures consistent and reliable power," says product engineer John Concialdi.

A mandrel bent aluminum air intake tube is utilized to direct cool intake air smoothly from the AEM Dryflow filter and into the turbocharger. This aluminum intake tube is protected by a wrinkle-black powdercoat finish to ensure the AEM cold air intake will look just as good as it performs. The wrinkle-black powercoat finish is being offered as an alternative to the wrinke-red version, number 21-735WR, for 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi models. The entire AEM cold air intake, as well as the AEM Dryflow air filter is backed by the AEM limited lifetime warranty.

The 21-735WB cold air intake system is a perfect upgrade for 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi enthusiasts looking to boost power and improve performance without calling attention to their mods.

2014-2016 Ford Fiesta ST 1.6L Turbo AEM Performance Short Ram Intake Gives Power Boost

AEM short ram intake for 2014, 2015 and 2016  Ford Fiesta ST with 1.6L EcoBoost engine
AEM short ram intake, number 21-737WR, for 2014, 2015 and 2016 Ford Fiesta ST with 1.6L EcoBoost engine is powder coated in a wrinkle-red finish to give the engine bay a tricked out new look

Until recently the USDM wouldn’t have considered the Ford Fiesta a sport compact performance car. However, the 197 horsepower Ford Fiesta ST is sure to make sport compact tuners look at the Fiesta a little differently. The 2014, 2015 and 2016 Ford Fiesta ST is powered by a 1.6L Ti-VCT turbocharged direct injection EcoBoost I-4 engine and at 2,700 lbs the Fiesta ST is said to accelerate from 0-60 MPH in just 6.7 seconds with a top speed of 143 MPH. Such an advanced engine should be treated to one of the most well designed short ram air intake systems on the market.

The 2014, 2015 and 2016 Ford Fiesta ST 1.6L EcoBoost engine makes a claimed 197 horsepower in stock trim but an AEM performance short ram air intake will help take performance up a notch

Advanced Engine Management (AEM) has been in the aftermarket air intake market since 1994. AEM has a solid reputation for making power gains in usable RPM ranges. AEM Intakes has once again stepped up to the plate with short ram air intake 21-737WR. Dyno testing on the 21-737WR short ram intake was performed to support AEM’s goal of increased horsepower where it is needed most. AEM dyno tests prove that the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Ford Fiesta ST short ram air intake produced an estimated maximum gain of 7 horsepower @ 3,600 RPM and an estimated increased in torque of 10 ft-lbs @ 3,600 RPM. Horsepower and torque increases were seen throughout the entire RPM range; however a max gain at 3,600 RPM is going to be most beneficial during normal driving.

The AEM short ram intake design for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Ford Fiesta ST 1.6L EcoBoost positions the AEM Dryflow Air Filter in a location near the front of the car to help pull fresh air from the factory cold air intake scoop in the engine compartment. Bringing in cooler outside air can result in more power. The AEM synthetic Dryflow air filter is designed for low restriction without compromising engine protection. The 2014, 2015 and 2016 Ford Fiesta ST 1.6L EcoBoost short ram intake Dryflow filter is washable and reusable.

An application specific powder coated aluminum heat shield is included in the AEM short ram intake for Ford Fiesta ST models to help prevent engine heat from increasing the inlet air temperature.
