In any case, whether you’re driving a 1998 – 2002 Chevrolet Camaro or a Pontiac Firebird, equipped with the 3.8L V6 or a 5.7L V8, power output is well below what you’d find in even a modern GM V6. For example, if you roll back the clock to 1998, a 5.7L Camaro LS1 V8 produced just 305 horsepower, with the 3.8L V6 output was a rather lowly 205 horsepower. The current base engine on the Camaro, a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder produces 275 horsepower, so there’s some ground to be made up.

So that these older Camaros and Firebirds can get some more airflow into their engines, AEM has developed the Dryflow 28-20118 automotive replacement air filter. The AEM filter provides an increase of up to 50% incremental air flow to the engine. By increasing the flow of air the filter is designed to increase throttle response, increase horsepower, and improve torque in your GM V6 or V8.

AEM started with some of the best elements of cotton air filters blended with carefully-elected synthetic materials into a new generation Dryflow Air Filter. This new three-dimensional filtering medium is red in color. It uses both depth loading and structural screen wire to enhance airflow capabilities for better engine performance. AEM uses this material in its OEM replacement air filters. AEM Dryflow replacement air filters are engineered to enhance your engine’s performance. These filters come with AEM’s Lifetime Limited Warranty.

AEM Dryflow air filters are washable cotton/synthetic air filters designed for an optimum combination of air flow, filtration, and performance. And the innovative AEM Dryflow filters three-dimensional filtering medium allows for easy cleaning and excellent filtration. Often OEM and less-expensive filters are made from more restrictive paper media which can actually limit the output potential of the engine.

And once you’ve installed your AEM 28-20118 air filter you’ve eliminated the need to purchase and replace paper filters for the life of your V6 or V8 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird. AEM Dryflow replacement air filters can be used for up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is needed, depending on driving conditions.

We recommend you check your Dryflow air filter periodically and when it does get dirty don’t worry because cleaning is a breeze with the application of AEM synthetic air filter cleaner that loosens and dissolves dirt and grime build up on synthetic filters. Then you simply rinse the unit with water and reinstall. AEM Dryflow® air filters do not use oil so there is no concern with over oiling and cleaning after their long service interval is simple.

AEM warrants that its Dryflow™ air filters will last for the life of your vehicle.
