Key Features

• Constructed with 100% polyurethane end caps for durability and a secure fit
• Five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze mesh media for optimal filtration and airflow
• Oiled filter media designed to trap contaminants while allowing maximum air intake

Construction & Design

The Magnum FLOW Pro 5R Air Filter is meticulously engineered using premium materials to withstand demanding off-road and daily driving conditions. The top and bottom end caps are molded from 100% polyurethane, providing a robust frame that resists cracking and deformation. The filter media consists of five layers of high-quality cotton gauze, progressively finer from outer to inner layers, which enhances filtration efficiency while maintaining unrestricted airflow.

The tall pleat design not only increases the filter’s surface area but also promotes even air distribution, reducing pressure drop and improving engine breathing. The oiled cotton gauze media captures dust and debris effectively, and the filter can be cleaned and re-oiled multiple times, extending its service life and reducing waste.

An integrated urethane bump seal guarantees a secure, no-leak fit within the airbox, preventing unfiltered air from bypassing the filter and protecting your engine from harmful contaminants.

Performance & Sound

By significantly increasing airflow compared to the stock paper filter, the aFe Magnum FLOW Pro 5R Air Filter helps unlock additional horsepower and torque potential in your Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT. The improved breathing capability supports better throttle response and overall engine efficiency. While primarily focused on filtration and performance, this filter may also contribute to a subtle enhancement in intake sound, delivering a more aggressive engine note without excessive noise.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct OE replacement, the Magnum FLOW Pro 5R Air Filter installs easily into the factory airbox of 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020–2024 Gladiator JT models with 2.0L or 3.6L engines. No modifications or special tools are required, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts and professional installers alike. Simply remove the stock paper filter and replace it with the aFe Pro 5R filter, ensuring the urethane bump seal seats properly for a secure fit.
