Part #: 75-13002-B

Overview

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 XP Cold Air Intake System is engineered to enhance the performance of your Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT equipped with the 3.6L engine. Designed for enthusiasts seeking improved horsepower, torque, and throttle response, this intake system delivers a significant upgrade over the factory air intake. It combines advanced filtration technology with precision-engineered components to ensure maximum airflow and engine protection.

Ideal for off-road adventurers and daily drivers alike, this intake system provides a reliable and efficient solution to boost your vehicle’s performance without compromising durability or requiring complex modifications.

Key Features

This Stage-2 XP Cold Air Intake System incorporates several advanced features that contribute to its superior performance and longevity:

• Oil-free, inverted top conical air filter measuring 7-1/2" tall for optimal airflow and filtration
• 360-degree radial flow design with 5 layers of progressive cotton media and 2 layers of non-woven synthetic media for 99.7% cumulative filtration efficiency (US PAT 06811588)
• One-piece 3" mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube for smooth, unrestricted airflow from filter to throttle body
• Sturdy 18-gauge powder-coated one-piece heat shield to block engine heat and maintain cooler intake air temperatures
• Direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points—no cutting or drilling required
• Complete hardware kit including clamps and couplings for hassle-free assembly

Construction & Design

The intake tube is crafted from high-quality mandrel-bent aluminum, ensuring smooth airflow with minimal turbulence and maximum durability. The powder-coated heat shield is fabricated from 18-gauge steel, providing robust protection against engine heat that can reduce intake efficiency. The filter media combines multiple layers of cotton and synthetic materials, engineered to trap contaminants effectively while allowing high airflow rates. This thoughtful design balances filtration performance with airflow capacity, protecting your engine without sacrificing power.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory air intake, the aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 XP system improves airflow to the engine, resulting in enhanced horsepower and torque. The mandrel-bent aluminum tube and high-flow filter reduce intake restrictions, while the heat shield helps maintain cooler air temperatures for denser air charge. Additionally, this intake system produces a more aggressive intake sound, providing an engaging driving experience without excessive noise.

Installation & Fitment

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