Ripp Cold Air Intake Kit
2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler 3.8L
0711JK38CAI
Overview:
The Ripp Carbon Fiber Sealed Cold Air Intake Kit is engineered specifically for Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 to 2018 equipped with the 3.8L engine. Designed to deliver superior airflow while protecting your engine from harsh off-road elements, this intake system features a sealed carbon fiber airbox that shields the air filter from mud, water, sand, and debris. Ideal for serious off-road enthusiasts, the Ripp intake maintains clean air delivery even in the most demanding environments where open filter designs often fail.
As the only cold air intake system compatible with snorkel setups, this kit offers unmatched versatility and performance. It frees up valuable under-hood space and enhances throttle response, making it a smart upgrade for Jeep owners seeking reliable power gains and durability without sacrificing protection.
Key Features:
Built to improve airflow and engine protection, the Ripp Cold Air Intake Kit includes the following standout features:
- Sealed carbon fiber airbox protects the filter from mud, water, and sand
- Compatible with snorkel systems for enhanced off-road capability
- Unique inverted air filter design increases surface area exposed to incoming air
- Improves throttle response and smooths performance at lower RPMs
- Frees up space under the hood for easier maintenance and additional modifications
- Increases rear-wheel horsepower by approximately 6 hp
- Durable carbon fiber construction resists harsh conditions and is easy to clean
- Replacement filters available as a one-piece carbon fiber housing and filter assembly
- Designed exclusively for non-supercharged 3.8L Jeep Wrangler engines
Construction & Design:
The intake system features a robust carbon fiber housing that is both lightweight and highly resistant to environmental damage. This sealed airbox design prevents contaminants from reaching the air filter, a critical advantage in off-road conditions where dust, mud, and water are prevalent. The carbon fiber enclosure also helps to direct and contain the intake charge, optimizing airflow dynamics for improved engine efficiency.
The inverted filter design operates "backward," exposing more filter surface area to incoming air, which enhances filtration efficiency and airflow volume. Maintenance is straightforward—cleaning requires only soap and water, and replacement filters are conveniently available as complete assemblies.
Performance & Sound
By increasing airflow and reducing intake restrictions, the Ripp Cold Air Intake Kit delivers a noticeable improvement in throttle response and overall engine smoothness, particularly at lower RPM ranges. The system adds approximately 6 additional rear-wheel horsepower, enhancing your Jeep’s performance without compromising reliability. The sealed design also helps maintain consistent air temperatures, contributing to stable engine operation.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation is designed to be straightforward for Jeep Wrangler owners familiar with basic mechanical work. The kit fits 2007 through 2018 Jeep Wrangler models equipped with the 3.8L engine and is compatible with snorkel setups, although connecting to aftermarket snorkels requires additional universal materials such as flexible silicone hoses or step-down couplers (not included). This intake is intended for naturally aspirated engines only and is not compatible with supercharged configurations.
What's Included:
- Sealed carbon fiber airbox housing
- Inverted high-flow air filter
- All necessary mounting hardware
- Installation instructions
Ideal For:
This cold air intake kit is perfect for Jeep Wrangler owners who frequently drive off-road and require a reliable intake system that protects against environmental hazards without sacrificing performance. It is especially suited for those running snorkel setups or looking to upgrade from the restrictive factory airbox to gain additional horsepower and throttle response.
