Engine Bay with AEM 29-0007 Strut Bar Installed

Most car or truck enthusiasts picture a cold air intake system when they hear the name AEM. AEM Induction Systems has made great headway and built its reputation on cold air induction systems, but since 1987 Advanced Engine Management (AEM) has been in the business of improving performance. More power is only one aspect of the driving equation. Being able to properly control engine power while cornering in the second generation 2011-2015 Scion tC is crucial to solving the performance formula.

AEM Performance Strut Bar for the second generation 2011-2015 Scion tC is protected with a resilient gunmetal gray powdercoat finish for durability and good looks

When a car equipped with a McPherson Strut suspension system, like the second generation 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Scion tC is being driven through a turn there is inherent flex in the strut towers and chassis. It’s not uncommon to experience as much as 1/8” of shift in the strut towers during hard cornering. This flex can result in unpredictable handling of the car. An effectively designed strut tower brace will transmit the load incurred by shifting weight between the two strut towers and reduce the effects of chassis flex.

Unfortunately, many of the aftermarket strut tower braces available have a hinged design and therefore offer little support to the strut towers. An effective strut tower brace, like those from AEM, must be rigid throughout its length. Additionally, many of the strut tower braces on the market could interfere with performance upgrades such as a cold air intake system. This is where AEM Induction Systems factors part number 29-0007 performance strut bar for the second generation 2011-2014 Scion tC into the equation.

There is a lot of discussion among air intake system buyers leading many to ask What Does a Cold Air Intake Do? AEM is happy to provide answers concerning the function of an AEM CAI

An AEM cold air intake system, like the CAI on this 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata 2.0L L4, is designed to bring cooler air into the engine because cooler air has more mass

The general idea behind an air intake system is to remove the restrictive factory air filter box, and the maze-like ducting leading to the intake manifold and replace it with a low-restriction, oversized air filter, and a turbulence free air intake tube. This is done in an effort to reduce restriction and improve power. A true cold air intake advances this principal one step further and relocates the air filter outside of the engine compartment, usually near the front of the vehicle, with the goal of directing cool, dense, outside air into the engine for more efficient combustion.

Making more horsepower and torque isn’t just a matter of bringing more air into the engine. The displacement of the engine does not change, so therefore the amount of air an engine can use will not increase. Eliminating the restrictive factory air filter box and tubing will reduce restriction and improve efficiency, but that is just part of the equation. An AEM cold air intake system is designed to bring cooler air into the engine because cooler air has more mass. This is measured in lbs./mass and can be critical for performance. To provide a visual, think back to a time when you may have been physically active at high altitudes. The same level of activity is much more difficult at high altitudes than it is at sea level. This is because air density decreases with increasing altitude. The same holds true with temperature and humidity. As these factors increase, air density will decrease.

An AEM cold air intake, such as the AEM CAI for 2008-2014 Subaru WRX STi models, relocates the air filter with the goal of keeping inlet air temperature (IAT) at or near ambient air temps

AEM cold air intakes are developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to calculate air pressure, speed, and temperature to make usable horsepower, safely, and consistently

Back in 1994, when AEM began selling the first packaged air intake system, making power was easier than it is today. Modern cars are becoming increasingly sophisticated in an effort to squeeze power, fuel efficiency, and low emissions from every drop of fuel. This makes a true cold air intake system, like one from AEM, more important than ever before. The engine control unit (ECU) in modern cars will retard ignition timing as air temperature increases causing the engine to run more conservatively and in turn, making less power. This makes factors like the flow, temperature, and quality of incoming air important for maintaining peak performance.

As part of the cold air intake development process AEM uses thermocouples and ECU scanning tools to monitor temperatures along the inlet path, under the hood, and outside of the vehicle

AEM engineers design our intake systems as a fully integrated component of the vehicle. Significant testing is performed to assure proper airflow management with the goal of keeping inlet air temperature (IAT) at or near ambient air temperature. AEM will accomplish this with a cold air intake system by relocating the air filter outside of the engine compartment. Because maintaining near ambient inlet air temperature is so important to AEM some of our air intakes will incorporate an enclosed air box, additional air sources, or even a hood scoop when relocating the filter outside of the engine compartment is not feasible.

According to AEM Product Engineer John Conciadi "Excellent air inlet temperature management ensures consistent and reliable power.” This means that AEM cold air intake owners can feel confident knowing that their intake system is designed to make usable horsepower, safely, and consistently.

AEM CAI 21-735WR replaces the restrictive factory air filter box and places the AEM Dryflow Air Filter outside of the engine bay to help bring cool, dense, air into the engine

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. Some critics are disappointed that the base model WRX would receive the cutting edge 2.0L FA20DIT engine, while the 2015 and 2016 WRX STi would carry over the same engine from the 2014 model year.

AEM cold air intake, number 21-735WR, for the 2015 and 2016 Subaru WRX STi with an EJ257 engine is powdercoated in a wrinkle-red finish to complement original equipment components

For those critics Masuo Takatsu, program manager for both the base WRX and upgraded WRX STi, had this to say “I felt the STI’s weaker area was the handling side. If we didn’t have the chassis, why add more power to overwhelm it? Also, this EJ engine has proved itself in competition. It’s an engine we confidently bring to the track. The new FA-series in the WRX has not been proven in motorsports. Plus, we knew the aftermarket could supply more power to those STi owners who demanded it.”

Advanced Engine Management (AEM) has done exactly what Masuo Takatsu predicted would be accomplished in the aftermarket with the AEM cold air intake system for the Subaru WRX STi. 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. AEM intakes has once again stepped up to the plate with cold air intake (CAI), number 21-735WR, 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 21-735WR cold air intake was performed to back our substantial claims of increased horsepower. AEM dyno tests prove that CAI, number 21-735WR, produced an estimated maximum gain of 32 horsepower @ 5400 RPM and an estimated increased in torque of 31 ft-lbs @ 5400 RPM.

The 2015 Subaru WRX STi, shown here in WR Blue Pearl paint, is powered by the EJ257 intercooled and turbocharged engine and equipped with an AEM performance cold air intake

The AEM cold air intake for the 2015, 2016, and 2017 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 21-735WR 2015, 2016, and 2017 Subaru WRX STi cold air intake Dryflow filter is washable and reusable. An AEM dry filter uses a synthetic filter media and does not require oil allowing 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-red powdercoat finish to ensure the AEM cold air intake will look just as good as it performs. The wrinkle-red powercoat finish was chosen in order to match original equipment parts visible under the hood of 2015, 2016, and 2017 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 21-735WR cold air intake system is a perfect upgrade for any 2015-2017 Subaru WRX STi enthusiast looking to add more power and better performance to their Mustang or Camaro beating import car.
