Key Features

The aFe Quantum Cold Air Intake System incorporates cutting-edge technology and thoughtful engineering to maximize airflow and filtration efficiency. Key features include:

• Integrated filter-to-housing design secured with four captive screws for a tight seal and easy installation
• Pro DRY S oil-free air filter with 3-layer synthetic media for superior filtration and maintenance convenience
• CAD-designed, roto-molded XLPE intake tube engineered for optimal airflow and heat soak resistance
• Silicone bellows coupling and stainless steel clamps ensure a secure, vibration-resistant fit
• Outflows factory intake by 24%, with measured airflow of 335 CFM at 7" H2O
• Lightweight injection-molded base and top for rigidity and durability
• Built-in 3-angle velocity stack in the filter base for smooth, even airflow
• Unique inverted top filter design increases surface area for longer filter life

Construction & Design

The Quantum Cold Air Intake system is constructed from high-quality materials designed to withstand the rigors of daily driving and off-road conditions. The intake tube is made from XLPE, a high-impact, roto-molded plastic that resists heat soak and maintains structural integrity under extreme temperatures. This ensures cooler, denser air reaches your engine for improved combustion efficiency.

The Pro DRY S filter features a 360-degree radial flow design with three layers of progressively finer synthetic media, providing excellent filtration without the need for oiling. The injection-molded base and top add strength and reduce weight, while captive screws prevent hardware loss and simplify maintenance. The entire assembly exhibits a rugged, industrial-grade appearance with a distinctive five-rib housing design that reflects aFe’s commitment to quality and durability.

Performance & Sound

The Quantum intake system is dyno-tuned to optimize airflow and enhance engine performance. It delivers a 24% increase in airflow compared to the factory intake, resulting in improved throttle response and potential power gains. The smooth velocity stack and precision-engineered intake tube promote efficient air delivery, contributing to a more responsive driving experience.

In addition to performance benefits, the system enhances engine sound with a deeper, more aggressive intake tone that adds to the driving enjoyment without being intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

This aFe Quantum Cold Air Intake is a direct-fit upgrade for the 2018–2020 Jeep Wrangler 2.0L Turbo models. It installs easily using existing factory mounting points and requires no cutting, drilling, or modifications. All necessary clamps, couplings, and hardware are included to ensure a secure and hassle-free installation process that can be completed in minutes with basic hand tools.
