aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 XP Cold Air Intake

Jeep Gladiator / Wrangler 18-26 3.6L V6

Part #: 51-13002-B

Overview

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 XP Cold Air Intake is engineered to enhance the performance of your Jeep Wrangler JL (2018–2026) or Gladiator JT (2020–2024) equipped with the 3.6L engine. Designed for enthusiasts seeking improved horsepower, torque, and throttle response, this intake system replaces the restrictive factory air intake with a high-flow, oil-free air filter and a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube. It delivers cooler, denser air to the engine, optimizing combustion efficiency and overall vehicle performance.

Ideal for off-road adventurers and daily drivers alike, this intake system provides a reliable upgrade that maximizes airflow while maintaining durability and ease of installation.

Key Features

The Magnum FORCE Stage-2 XP Cold Air Intake combines advanced filtration technology and precision engineering to deliver superior performance gains. Key features include:

• Oil-free, inverted top conical air filter measuring 7-1/2" tall for maximum surface area and airflow
• 360-degree radial flow design with three layers of synthetic media for enhanced filtration and longevity
• One-piece 3" mandrel-bent brushed aluminum intake tube for smooth, unrestricted airflow
• Sturdy 18-gauge powder-coated one-piece heat shield that blocks engine heat to maintain cooler intake air temperatures
• Direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points—no cutting or drilling required
• Includes all necessary clamps, couplings, and hardware for a hassle-free setup
• Durable construction designed to withstand harsh off-road conditions and daily use

Construction & Design

The intake tube is crafted from high-quality brushed aluminum, mandrel-bent to ensure smooth airflow with minimal turbulence. This design promotes efficient air delivery from the filter to the throttle body, enhancing engine breathing and performance. The included heat shield is fabricated from heavy-duty 18-gauge steel and finished with a powder-coated surface to resist corrosion and heat damage. Its one-piece design simplifies installation and provides effective thermal insulation, preventing heat soak that can reduce power output.

The air filter features a synthetic media construction with three layers, offering superior filtration without the need for oil. This oil-free design reduces maintenance and eliminates the risk of filter contamination while maintaining excellent airflow characteristics.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory intake components, the Magnum FORCE Stage-2 XP Cold Air Intake improves throttle response and increases horsepower and torque potential. The high-flow synthetic filter and smooth aluminum intake tube allow the engine to breathe more freely, resulting in enhanced acceleration and overall engine efficiency. Additionally, the intake produces a subtle, aggressive induction sound that adds to the driving experience without being overly loud or intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

This intake system is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for Jeep Wrangler JL models from 2018 through 2026 and Jeep Gladiator JT models from 2020 through 2024, both equipped with the 3.6L engine. Installation is straightforward and requires no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications to factory parts. The heat shield mounts using existing factory locations, and all necessary hardware, clamps, and couplings are included to ensure a secure and professional fit. Most installations can be completed with basic hand tools in under an hour.
