- Outflows factory intake by up to 32%, rated at 330 CFM @ 7" H2O
Construction & Design:
The aFe Rapid Induction system is built with premium materials engineered for longevity and performance. The intake tube is crafted from roto-molded XLPE, a material known for its resistance to heat soak and physical impact, ensuring consistent airflow even under demanding conditions. The heat shield is constructed from sturdy 18-gauge steel and finished with a wrinkle-black powder coat to protect against corrosion and heat transfer, maintaining cooler air intake temperatures.
The Pro 5R filter features a three-layer synthetic media that is oil-free, eliminating the need for messy oiling during maintenance. This media is designed with progressively finer porosity to trap contaminants effectively while maintaining optimal airflow. The filter’s base includes a retention groove that securely locks it onto the heat shield, simplifying installation and reducing the number of components.
Performance & Sound
By replacing the restrictive factory intake, the aFe Rapid Induction Pro 5R system increases airflow by up to 32%, resulting in noticeable gains of approximately +6 horsepower and +6 lb-ft of torque. This improved breathing capability enhances throttle response and overall engine efficiency. Additionally, the intake produces a more aggressive induction sound, providing an engaging driving experience without excessive noise.
Installation & Fitment:
This cold air intake system is designed for a straightforward, bolt-on installation using existing factory mounting points. The included heat shield snaps onto the lower half of the factory airbox, and the filter locks securely in place without additional hardware. The intake tube’s integrated mounting tabs attach to the radiator shroud, allowing for engine movement during off-road driving without compromising stability. No cutting or permanent modifications are required, making it an ideal upgrade for Jeep owners seeking performance gains with minimal effort.
