aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System

Jeep Gladiator / Wrangler 18-26 3.6L V6

Part #: 54-13078R

Overview

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System is engineered to significantly enhance the airflow and performance of your Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT equipped with the 3.6L engine. Designed for enthusiasts seeking both street and track improvements, this intake system delivers increased horsepower and torque by optimizing air delivery to the engine. Its innovative design maximizes airflow while reducing intake air temperatures, resulting in improved throttle response and overall engine efficiency.

Ideal for Jeep owners who demand reliable power gains without sacrificing daily drivability, the Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System offers a direct-fit solution that requires no cutting or modifications. It combines advanced filtration technology with durable construction to provide long-lasting performance and protection.

Key Features

This intake system incorporates several advanced features to ensure maximum performance and durability:

• 8-inch tall 360-degree radial flow air filter with a 4.5-inch flange for optimal airflow
• Pre-oiled Pro 5R filter media featuring five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze for superior filtration and airflow
• Inverted top design increases filter surface area, extending service intervals
• Open-element XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) polymer housing minimizes heat soak and reduces intake air temperatures
• Factory air inlet scoop integration provides a ram-air effect for enhanced air induction
• Computer-designed, dyno-tuned intake tube for maximum power gains and perfect fitment
• Patent-pending filter-to-housing interface reduces part count by half compared to traditional systems
• Durable XLPE material resists heat soak and ensures long-term reliability
• Direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points with no cutting or modifications required

Construction & Design

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System is constructed from high-quality materials engineered to withstand the rigors of daily driving and spirited performance use. The intake tube is crafted from heat-resistant XLPE polymer, which effectively resists heat soak to maintain cooler intake air temperatures for improved combustion efficiency. The open-element housing design not only reduces heat transfer but also allows for easy inspection of the air filter.

The Pro 5R filter media is pre-oiled and features five layers of cotton gauze that progressively filter incoming air, ensuring maximum airflow while protecting your engine from contaminants. The inverted top filter design increases the surface area, allowing for longer intervals between cleanings and enhanced durability.

Performance & Sound

This cold air intake system is dyno-tuned to optimize airflow and deliver noticeable power gains across the RPM range. By drawing in cooler, denser air and minimizing intake restrictions, it improves throttle response and engine efficiency. The open-element design also produces an aggressive intake induction sound that enhances the driving experience without being intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System is a direct-fit upgrade for 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020–2024 Gladiator JT models equipped with the 3.6L engine. Installation is straightforward, utilizing factory mounting points and requiring no cutting, drilling, or modifications.
