Available in three trim levels, Sedan, GT, and GXP, the G8 is Pontiac’s first rear-wheel drive sedan since 1986. Unfortunately, the 2009 model year brought production of the G8 to an end as GM announced the discontinuation of the Pontiac brand.
Although production of the G8 has ceased, AEM can appreciate the value of engineering a performance air intake system for this vehicle. The G8’s short production run is sure to make it an instant classic with performance enthusiasts and collectors.
Owners of 2008 and 2009 Pontiac G8 models with a 6.0L V8 engine, can now increase their performance while also increasing under hood appeal with the choice of either a gray powder coated mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube (21-8027DC) or polished aluminum intake tube (21-8027DP).

AEM engineers created a highly unique intake system for G8 6.0L models. Emissions equipment found inside the factory air box is becoming increasingly common. This means that removing the OE air box assembly has the potential to make a vehicle non-compliant with emissions regulations.
To overcome this obstacle, AEM designers created a mandrel-bent aluminum air intake inlet tube for the G8 6.0L that retains the use of the factory air box assembly. Part numbers
21-8027DC and
21-8027DP eliminate the OE resonator chamber and accordion style factory inlet tube. The result is a smoother delivery of air to the engine, a sizeable increase in horsepower, and an intake that is street legal in all 50-states.

Installation of AEM’s performance air intake system for the Pontiac G8 6.0L is simple and relatively straightforward. It requires no cutting or drilling and can be installed with common hand tools. Additionally, AEM
warrants this intake system for the life of your vehicle.

Nissan Motors has created a legacy with its Z-car lineup of sports cars. The Z-car family of vehicles began in 1969 with the 240Z (AKA Fairlady Z in Japan) and has maintained its success with the current 370Z model. Now in its sixth generation of the sports car, Nissan has pushed the envelope of technological advancement with each successive model.
Polished AEM Cold Air Intake System for 2009, 2010 & 2011 Nissan 370Z
The all-new 370Z incorporates outstanding advancements in both mechanical and electronic features alike. Powered by the 3.7-liter VQ37VHR dual-over-head-cam V6 engine, the 370Z generates an impressive 332 horsepower (at the flywheel) in stock form. This abundance of power is made possible by utilizing Nissan's Variable Valve and Lift Control technology (VVEL). Nissan's VVEL variable valve timing technology allows the VQ37 engine to be more efficient while improving response and power output at higher RPMs.
In order to harness the power of the 370Z's V6 engine, Nissan invested particular attention to the 370Z's power delivery system. To transfer the power to the rear wheels, Nissan couples the powerful engine to either a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, or a 6-speed manual transmission that features the first ever synchronized downshift rev-match system.
Gunmetal Gray AEM Cold Air Intake System for 2009, 2010 & 2011 Nissan 370Z
When upgrading a vehicle such as the 370Z, enthusiasts expect a high caliber of technology from their performance parts as well. AEM has accomplished incredible technological advances with their Electronically Tuned Intake (ETI) technology. The great news for 370Z enthusiasts is that a new ETI Cold Air Intake System is now available for the 2009, 2010 & 2011 Nissan 370Z (polished finish, part number 41-1001P and Gunmetal Gray, 41-1001C).
To match up to the VQ37's dual throttle bodies, the 41-1001P and 41-1001C are comprised of dual mandrel-bent aluminum inlet tubes. Each 2.75-inch inlet tube originates at the throttle body and routes to the left and right wheel wells. It is in the wheel wells that DryFlow performance air filters are mounted to each inlet tube. The oil-free DryFlow technology is very durable and easy to clean. To take the filtration properties of the DryFlow performance air filter even further, AEM offers Filter Wraps that are manufactured from durable micro-screen materials that are pretreated with a proprietary hydrophobic process.
AEM filter wraps repel water splashes and extend the filters service life. For the 41-1001P and 41-1001C air intake system, AEM Filter Wraps are available
as a separate accessory (part number 1-4000).
In order to clear enough space for the DryFlow air filters, AEM includes a custom designed windshield washer fluid reservoir with each 41-1001P air intake system. Each 370Z air intake system also includes two pre-programmed ETI modules. Both of the 370Z's Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensors plug directly into an included ETI module, which are specifically programmed to read the proper air density data. The result is more horsepower and torque gains.
In the case of the 370Z, the VQ37 engine responded well to AEM's ETI technology. The 41-1001P and 41-1001C cold air intake systems improve the 370Z's power output from the stock baseline of 241 hp to an estimated 250 hp with the intake installed. In addition to enhancing the peak horsepower performance, an estimated gain of 9.67 horsepower was also recorded at 7,100 RPM during AEM's testing. As seen on the dyno graph, a vast improvement is made from 6,600 RPM until the VQ37's redline.

Were you to see him tooling around the streets of Orange County you might mistakenly pigeonhole him as a typical Southern California jock, into XTERRA triathlons, swimming, cycling, skiing, snowboarding, and of course surfing.

But, that's just how Carl Renezeder, the Laguna Beach resident, father of four, stays fit for his real obsession - winning National Championships. Renezeder has won seven so far and he recently notched his 88th career short course win during round three of the Pro-2 Championship chase in Surprise, Arizona. He also backed that up with two runner-up finishes and a third. While third and second place finishes in Pro-4 were great for the points race, the truck's four-wheel-drive issues in both races kept him out of the hunt for the win in the closing laps.
Renezeder started his weekend in Surprise off by gifting himself the pole position in Pro-2, qualifying on his birthday. He took that Friday present and made it even better on Saturday. By the time the field crossed the start/finish line to record lap one, Renezeder was the leader, and never looked back. Ex-motocross superstar Jeremy McGrath looked inside a couple of times, but ultimately it was Renezeder's day, leading 18 of 18 laps for the win.
Winning says Renezeder has always been, and will always be, about a total team effort. "My guys give me the best possible truck they can, and I drive it to the best finish I can every time. Our goal every race is to win and we know that luck plays a factor in that, but we also know that being prepared takes a lot of luck out of the equation. Four podiums in four races is an outstanding result, but we'll still look for ways to improve upon that in Vegas."
Asked about his 88th career victory and if there is a magic number, or record, mulling around his head that he could see himself reaching before all is said and done, Renezeder remarks.
"We know that each win could be our last, so we do our best to appreciate every moment. We're also a long way from being all said and done in this sport. I don't have a goal in mind for career victories or championships I'd like to achieve - my goal is to win each time I climb in the truck, and hopefully I'll be doing that for many years to come."
Renezeder says his relationship with AEM has been great from day one. "We love working with a company that not only makes the best product on the market, but is also enthusiastic about our program, and that's AEM. We currently use the AEM dry-flow air filters on all our trucks, and we're installing AEM gauges in our brand new Pro-4, which is set to debut in Las Vegas in May."
"There's never been a more exciting time for our sport than right now," says Renezeder. "The Lucas Oil Off-Road Series is the best our industry has ever seen, and we feel incredibly fortunate to be part of it."

AEM Cold Air Intake installed 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L V8
Dyno Chart for 2010-2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L V8
The return of the Chevrolet Camaro in 2010 ends the eight-year hiatus by one of America's classic muscle cars. Now in its fifth generation, the Camaro is packed with a phenomenal list of features. For the SS model, the Camaro is powered by the LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine, which produces 426 horsepower (six-speed manual transmission). The automatic transmission equipped Camaro SS is fitted with the L99 V8 engine producing 400 horsepower. To match the powerful engine of the Camaro, Chevrolet opted to outfit the SS with four-piston Brembo brakes along with the StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control. With a hefty list of performance-oriented features, the 2010 Camaro was clearly designed with the enthusiast in mind.
AEM Cold Air Intake for 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L V8
Once AEM's engineering department caught wind of the new Camaro, they also focused on offering an air intake system for the performance-oriented Camaro owner. For the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS with the 6.2-liter V8 engine, AEM introduces the 21-8029C Cold Air Intake System in Gunmetal Gray.
In the design of the 21-8029C air intake system, AEM needed to work within the confines of the Camaro's
engine compartment. To do so, AEM engineers designed an inlet tube that
would give a large volume of airflow with little added restriction. The end result would be a massive four-inch mandrel-bent inlet tube constructed from high-grade aluminum. The design calls for the inlet tube to route from the V8's frontward-facing throttle body into the driver's side wheel well. In addition to the mandrel-bent aluminum tube, AEM utilized the optimal location for a cool air source. In order for the DryFlow performance air filter to occupy this location, the Camaro's windshield washer fluid reservoir had to replaced with a sleeker piece. To this end, AEM designed a washer fluid reservoir that would better accommodate the location. Each AEM 21-8029C air intake system comes complete with a new washer fluid reservoir and mounting bracket.
On the dyno, the AEM 21-8029C Cold Air Intake System yielded impressive results. In factory form, the test vehicle generated a peak of 318.67 horsepower at the wheels. With the AEM 21-8029C cold air intake system in place, the Camaro's peak power output jumped up to 325.98 horsepower at the wheels. A maximum gain of 16.53 horsepower at 4,200 RPM was also recorded with the AEM intake installed.
The 21-8029C Cold Air Intake System for the Camaro uses a DryFlow Performance air filter. The DryFlow air filter has a large surface area that outflows the V8 engine's requirements. 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. 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.
