aFe Cold Air Intake

2006–2009 Jeep Commander 4.7L V8

Part #: 51-12602

Overview

The aFe Power Stage 2 Cold Air Intake System is a premium upgrade designed specifically for the 2006 to 2009 Jeep Commander equipped with the 4.7L V8 engine. This intake system replaces the factory airbox with a more efficient, heat-blocking design that improves engine breathing. By delivering cooler, denser air to the engine, it enhances throttle response, increases horsepower, and can improve fuel efficiency. Ideal for Jeep enthusiasts looking to boost performance without sacrificing reliability or requiring complex modifications.

Engineered for direct bolt-on installation, the aFe Cold Air Intake offers a seamless upgrade that enhances your vehicle’s power and driving experience while maintaining a clean, factory-like appearance under the hood.

Key Features

This cold air intake system incorporates advanced design elements and high-quality materials to maximize airflow and durability. Key features include:

• Up to +14 horsepower and +20 lb-ft of torque gains over the factory intake
• Approximately 10% more airflow compared to the stock airbox
• Large 4-inch conical air filter for superior filtration and airflow
• Choice between Pro 5R oiled filter for maximum performance or Pro Dry S non-oiled filter for easy maintenance
• 16-gauge black powder-coated steel heat shield that seals tightly to the hood, blocking engine heat
• Heat-insulating molded plastic intake tube designed to optimize air velocity and volumetric efficiency
• No cutting or drilling required; uses factory mounting points for a secure, precise fit
• Clear-coated aluminum cover adds engine bay style while protecting intake air from heat soak
• Washable and reusable air filter media for long-term cost savings
• Limited lifetime warranty ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind

Filter Options

The aFe Cold Air Intake offers two filter media options to suit different preferences and maintenance routines:

• Pro 5R Oiled Filter: Provides maximum airflow and performance with a high-flow oiled cotton gauze media. Requires periodic oiling during cleaning.
• Pro Dry S Non-Oiled Filter: Features a dry synthetic media that is easy to clean and maintain without the need for oiling, ideal for quick servicing.

Construction & Design

The system is built with durability and performance in mind. The heat shield is constructed from 16-gauge steel with a black powder-coated finish to resist corrosion and block radiant heat from the engine bay. The intake tube is molded from heat-insulating plastic to maintain cooler air temperatures and improve airflow velocity. The one-piece heat shield seals tightly to the hood, preventing hot engine air from contaminating the intake charge, which helps maintain consistent power delivery.

The large 4-inch conical air filter is designed for maximum surface area and airflow, housed securely within the heat shield to ensure only cool, clean air reaches the engine.

Performance & Sound

By increasing airflow and reducing intake restrictions, the aFe Cold Air Intake enhances throttle response and engine power output. Drivers will notice a more immediate and responsive throttle feel, along with a subtle, aggressive induction sound that adds to the driving experience without being intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and can be completed in under 60 minutes using basic hand tools. The system is designed to fit directly into factory mounting locations with no cutting, drilling, or modifications required. This ensures a secure, precise fit and preserves the integrity of the vehicle’s original components.
