What Arizona Emergency Medicine Specialists does

AEM Induction Systems is a US-based manufacturer of aftermarket performance automotive air induction systems and filtration products, founded in 1987 by John Concialdi and Bob Sullivan as a tuning shop in Compton, California. The company designs and sells cold air intakes, short ram intakes, Brute Force and Brute Force HD (diesel) intakes, dual-chamber intake kits, and DRYFLOW oil-free washable synthetic air filters, supplemented by charge pipes, intercoolers, exhaust systems, strut bars, filter minder gauges, pre-filter wraps, and DIY fabrication components for the automotive, motorcycle/ATV, and specialty powersports segments.

AEM's core technology centers on precision-tuned intake tube geometry that exploits inlet tract pressure waves, paired with proprietary DRYFLOW gradient non-woven polyester synthetic filter media that is oil-free, washable, and rated for 50,000–100,000 miles of service life. The company holds US Patent #6,394,128 on an air bypass valve that prevents hydro-lock by shutting down induction when the filter is submerged. Products are designed in-house using CAD, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, Dimension 3D printing, and Faro CMM measurement, then validated through vibration testing, cyclic thermal tests from -40°F to +250°F, ISO 5011 airflow testing, and dynamometer validation. Most products carry CARB Executive Order certifications for California compliance.

AEM operates a one-time-unit-sale model with vehicle-specific SKUs priced from approximately $5.79 (DIY brackets) to $749.99 (complete exhaust systems). Distribution runs through an authorized dealer network anchored by major US auto-parts retailers (AutoZone, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Advance Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Walmart), supported by independent installers and AEM's own direct e-commerce storefront (aemintakes.com). Customer segments split across performance enthusiasts (SMBs/individuals for street, show, and track use), truck/SUV owners seeking diesel and gas performance upgrades, and professional racing teams. AEM is a subsidiary of K&N Engineering, Inc., with which it shares corporate address, customer service infrastructure, and cross-referenced dealer functionality, and is headquartered in Riverside, California.
