AEM Cold Air Intake for 2009, 2010 and 2011 Nissan 370Z Nismo 3.7L
- May 13, 2011
The stock Ford intake system employs the use of a cold air duct that protrudes through the radiator core support which is an excellent source for cool air (compared to under hood air). AEM’s 21-8122DC and 21-8122DP cold air intake systems are designed to take advantage of the good Ford design and enhance the air flow through a mandrel bent intake tube and a low restriction Dryflow filter. The system features a closed air box that seals out hot under hood air to provide cooler outside fed air to the engine for more power. The intake air management also allows the engine ECU to maintain the ignition timing as the factory intended. The result is a gain of an estimated 8 horsepower at 5000 rpm, and 10 lbs./ft. at 3400 RPM when installed on a 2011, 2012, 2013 or 2014 Ford Mustang GT equipped with the 5.0L engine.
Because the filter is in a sealed housing, an AEM Filter Minder Gauge is also included. It mounts in the system airbox and lets you know when the air filter needs to be serviced. The intake interior sound tube is retained so the OEM driving experience is maintained. Installation of the 21-8122DC and 21-8122DP is very simple. AEM’s Installation Instruction Sheet explains the steps necessary to install this power gaining air intake in your 5.0L, 2011 Ford Mustang GT. The 21-8122DC and 21-8122DP, cold air intake systems, are protected by AEM’s lifetime limited warranty. AEM warrants this air intake system will last for the entire life of your car.

AEM has been a pioneer in the development of air intake systems for powerful import models, like the 370Z, since it was founded in 1987. Recently, AEM has developed a series of intakes referred to as ETI or Electronically Tuned Intake systems. This new twist on air intakes utilizes specially tuned circuitry that works with the vehicle's electronics allowing large power gains. With traditional designs, maintaining a large tube diameter near the MAF sensor without downsizing or restricting airflow would, in many cases, cause issues with the vehicle's electronics. With ETI technology the MAF sensor is not confused by the air flow change and continues to supply the right signals to the computer for proper fuel delivery. This allows air intake designs like AEM's 41-1002P and 41-1002C to maintain the calibration intended by the factory while enjoying the benefits of a low restriction air intake system.
"The new Nismo Nissan 370Z ETI AEM intake system is a true cold air intake," says AEM Co-founder John Concialdi. "It consists of two 2.75 inch diameter intake pipes that were developed for use on the standard edition Nissan 370Z. However, there were some minor differences between the normal 370Z and the Nismo Edition. A front mount oil cooler made us redesign the location of our windshield washer reservoir. With the increased reported horsepower rating from the manufacturer we dyno'd the Nismo 370Z and realized there was more potential for power. So we created a new ETI calibration specially designed for the Nismo 370Z that helped us pick up an estimated 19.7 hp and 14.6 ft-lbs of torque at 7100 RPM. The gains with the 41-1002 intake were much better than those seen on the standard Nissan 370Z." Concialdi also commented on another feature that makes this AEM cold air intake stand out, the fact that the 370Z NISMO front bumper does NOT need to be removed. This adds to the ease of installation and servicing for the 41-1002P and 41-1002C tuned intake and filter system. The 41-1002P intake has tubes with a polished aluminum finish and the 41-1002C has tubes with a gun metal colored powder coated finish. Both come with AEM Dryflow air filters, which require no oil, are very durable and are easy to clean and reuse. Since the OEM windshield washer reservoir was in the way, both parts also come with a redesigned windshield washer reservoir that provides needed clearance. AEM's new ETI system for the 2009, 2010 & 2011 Nissan 370Z Nismo is a must have upgrade for drivers looking to improve power and performance.

So, the Engineers at AEM set out to design a true cold air intake system that would flow more than the stock set-up, have lower inlet air temperatures (IAT's), and most importantly create power while still retaining stock fuel trim characteristics. To determine the area they had to work with AEM engineers removed the stock intake from a test vehicle then scanned the engine bay using a 3D scanning tool. Engineers were then able to model potential intake tube and air box designs. They determined that a roto-molded intake tube and roto-molded intake box with a sealed lid would perform well in achieving their goals. With the space available in their airbox design the engineers decided to use one of the larger air filters commonly used in diesel engine applications. The filter chosen for this project was the 21-2277DK Dryflow filter, a big 5 inch inlet oval filter which provides plenty of air flow and outstanding engine protection. This filter, like all AEM Dryflow air filters, is durable, easy to clean and requires no oil. After the overall design was finished, real world performance testing began. Part number 21-8030DC was bolted to a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe with a 5.3 liter engine and tested on a Dynamometer. After the testing was completed on three vehicles, the intake was shown to provide an estimated increase of 10 horsepower and 10.2 ft-lbs of torque at 5100 RPM. AEM's 21-8030DC is easy to install with basic tools. This cold air intake will provide excellent protection for your vehicle's engine and it is backed by AEM's lifetime limited warranty. AEM's 21-8030DC is designed to add more power and torque to the following models: 2014 GMC YUKON XL 1500 5.3L V8 2014 GMC YUKON DENALI XL 6.2L V8 2014 GMC YUKON DENALI 6.2L V8 2014 GMC YUKON 5.3L V8 2014 CHEVROLET TAHOE 5.3L V8 2014 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 5.3L V8 2013 GMC YUKON XL 1500 5.3L V8 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI XL 6.2L V8 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI 6.2L V8 2013 GMC YUKON 5.3L V8 2013 GMC SIERRA DENALI 6.2L V8 2013 GMC SIERRA 1500 6.2L V8 2013 GMC SIERRA 1500 5.3L V8 2013 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.8L V8 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE 5.3L V8 2013 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 5.3L 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 6.2L 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 5.3L 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 4.8L 2013 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 5.3L 2013 CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT 6.2L 2013 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV 6.2L 2013 CADILLAC ESCALADE 6.2L V8 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 6.2L V8 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 5.3L V8 2012 GMC Yukon Denali XL 6.2L V8 2012 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L V8 2012 GMC Yukon 5.3L V8 2012 GMC Yukon 4.8L V8 2012 GMC Sierra Denali 6.2L V8 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 6.2L V8 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 6.0L V8 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L V8 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 4.8L V8 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L V8 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 5.3L V8 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.2L V8 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.0L V8 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3L V8 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4.8L V8 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche 5.3L V8 2012 Cadillac Escalade 6.2L V8 2011 GMC Yukon XL 1500 6.2L V8 2011 GMC Yukon XL 1500 5.3L V8 2011 GMC Yukon Denali XL 6.2L V8 2011 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L V8 2011 GMC Yukon 5.3L V8 2011 GMC Yukon 4.8L V8 2011 GMC Sierra Denali 6.2L V8 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 6.2L V8 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 6.0L V8 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L V8 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 4.8L V8 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L V8 2011 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 5.3L V8 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.2L V8 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.0L V8 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3L V8 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4.8L V8 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche 5.3L V8 2011 Cadillac Escalade 6.2L V8 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500 6.2L V8 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500 5.3L V8 2010 GMC Yukon Denali XL 6.2L V8 2010 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L V8 2010 GMC Yukon 5.3L V8 2010 GMC Yukon 4.8L V8 2010 GMC Sierra Denali 6.2L V8 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 6.2L V8 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 6.0L V8 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L V8 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 4.8L V8 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L V8 2010 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 5.3L V8 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.2L V8 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.0L V8 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3L V8 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4.8L V8 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche 5.3L V8 2010 Cadillac Escalade 6.2L V8 2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 6.0L V8 2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 5.3L V8 2009 GMC Yukon Denali XL 6.2L V8 2009 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L V8 2009 GMC Yukon 5.3L V8 2009 GMC Yukon 4.8L V8 2009 GMC Sierra Denali 6.2L V8 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 6.2L V8 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 6.0L V8 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L V8 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 4.8L V8 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe 6.2L V8 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L V8 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe 4.8L V8 2009 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 6.0L V8 2009 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 5.3L V8 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.2L V8 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.0L V8 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3L V8 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4.8L V8 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche 6.0L V8 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche 5.3L V8 2009 Cadillac Escalade 6.2L V8 To find all AEM products for your vehicle, use the AEM application search function and the Where to Buy function on AEMIntakes.com to find an AEM dealer near you. |
