aFe Quantum Cold Air Intake - Jeep Wrangler (JL) / Gladiator (JT) - 3.6L V6
The aFe Quantum cold air intake suits the JL Jeep Wrangler and JT Gladiator 3.6L Pentastar V6. The durable sealed housing has aFe's five-rib industrial look, and the filter fixes to it with four captive screws for a positive seal and easy fitting. A CAD-designed, dyno-tuned tube in high-impact XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) resists heat soak, and a silicone bellows coupler makes the final connection.
Quantum filters have an injection-moulded base and top for low weight and rigidity, and the base includes a 3-angle velocity stack for smooth, even airflow. aFe measures 435 CFM with the Pro 5R filter, 47% more than the factory intake, and aFe's dyno testing shows up to +8.2 kW (+11 hp) and +18 Nm.
Options: Pro DRY S uses dry, oil-free three-layer synthetic media that you wash and refit without oiling; aFe quotes up to +5.2 kW (+7 hp) and +11 Nm (+8 lb-ft), with 39% more airflow. Pro 5R uses oiled five-layer cotton gauze media for the most airflow and usually the biggest gains; up to +8.2 kW (+11 hp) and +18 Nm (+13 lb-ft), with 47% more airflow.
Note: Suits the JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator with the 3.6L V6. Installation by a professional is recommended.
