Key Features

The Momentum GT Cold Air Intake System incorporates several innovative features that set it apart from standard aftermarket intakes:

• One-piece roto-molded sealed housing with an auxiliary air inlet for optimal airflow and protection
• Built-in clear sight window allows quick inspection of the air filter without disassembly
• Unique patented filter-to-housing interface (US PAT 9440175) simplifies installation and accommodates a larger filter
• CAD-designed roto-molded intake tube with integrated resonance chamber to reduce unwanted intake noise
• Pro DRY S oil-free, 3-layer synthetic media air filter for maximum filtration and easy maintenance
• Premium stainless steel T-bolt clamps ensure secure and durable connections
• Outflows the factory intake for improved engine breathing and performance gains
• No cutting or drilling required, preserving factory components and enabling faster installation

Construction & Design

The Momentum GT intake system features a high-quality, roto-molded housing constructed from black cross-linked polyethylene, providing excellent durability and heat resistance. This one-piece sealed housing design eliminates multiple components found in other systems, reducing potential air leaks and ensuring the intake draws in the coolest air possible.

The intake tube is precision-engineered using computer-aided design (CAD) and roto-molding techniques to achieve a perfect fit and maximize airflow efficiency. Its built-in resonance chamber helps to minimize intake noise, delivering a refined sound signature without sacrificing performance. The large inverted-top Pro DRY S air filter is designed with three progressive layers of synthetic media, offering superior filtration and long service intervals without the need for oiling.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory intake, the Momentum GT system increases airflow volume and reduces intake turbulence, resulting in measurable horsepower and torque gains. Drivers will notice improved throttle response and smoother power delivery across the RPM range. The integrated resonance chamber in the intake tube also helps to tame harsh intake sounds, providing a more pleasant engine note that complements the Jeep’s rugged character.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake is straightforward and designed to be completed without cutting, drilling, or modifying any factory parts. The system’s unique filter-to-housing interface and one-piece sealed housing simplify the process, allowing for a quicker and cleaner installation. All necessary hardware is included, and the intake fits precisely on the 2012–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 3.6L V6 models, ensuring a secure and reliable fit.
