aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake

Jeep Wrangler 12-18 3.6L V6

Part #: 50-70001R

Overview

The aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake is engineered specifically for the 2012 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK equipped with the 3.6L engine and Gen 1 Sprintex Supercharger. Designed to optimize airflow and filtration, this intake system delivers cooler, denser air to your engine, enhancing throttle response and overall performance. Ideal for Jeep enthusiasts seeking a reliable upgrade that maintains factory water fording capabilities while maximizing power gains.

With a focus on durability and ease of installation, the Momentum GT intake replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a custom roto-molded housing and a large, high-performance Pro 5R air filter. This system is perfect for drivers who want improved engine efficiency without compromising on fitment or protection.

Key Features

The Momentum GT Cold Air Intake combines advanced design and premium materials to deliver superior performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Custom computer-designed roto-molded housing that eliminates multiple components for a streamlined fit
• Clear sight window for easy filter inspection without removing the airbox
• Black cross-linked polyethylene housing engineered to maintain factory water fording height
• CAD-designed, dyno-tuned roto-molded intake tube with built-in resonance chambers to reduce unwanted intake noise
• Largest possible filter size with a massive 5" round flange and 8" height for maximum airflow
• Pre-oiled Pro 5R filter media featuring five layers of progressively finer cotton mesh for superior filtration and airflow
• Patent-pending air filter to housing interface that simplifies installation and increases air volume
• Premium stainless steel T-bolt clamps for corrosion resistance and secure fitment
• Designed with fewer parts for quick, hassle-free installation

Construction & Design

The intake housing is crafted from durable black cross-linked polyethylene using roto-molding technology, ensuring a robust and heat-resistant structure. This design not only protects the intake from heat soak but also maintains the Jeep’s factory water fording capabilities, an essential feature for off-road enthusiasts.

The intake tube is precision-engineered using CAD software and dyno-tuned to optimize airflow and power delivery. Its roto-molded construction includes resonance chambers that minimize intake noise, providing a refined driving experience without sacrificing performance.

The Pro 5R air filter is constructed with five layers of cotton gauze media, progressively filtering contaminants while maximizing airflow. The filter’s inverted top and large flange design increase the surface area, allowing the engine to breathe more efficiently under demanding conditions.

Performance & Sound

The Momentum GT intake system enhances engine performance by delivering a cooler and denser air charge, which improves combustion efficiency and throttle response. The dyno-tuned intake tube is designed to maximize power gains while the built-in resonance chambers reduce harsh intake noises, resulting in a more pleasant engine sound without excessive drone.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and designed to be completed quickly with basic hand tools. The system replaces the factory air intake components without requiring modifications, preserving the Jeep Wrangler JK’s original water fording height and ensuring a perfect fit. The fewer parts design simplifies the process, making it accessible for enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
