Construction & Design

The Momentum GT intake system is constructed from high-quality black cross-linked polyethylene, chosen for its strength, durability, and resistance to heat and chemicals. The roto-molded housing is precision-engineered to provide a perfect seal and maintain the factory water fording height, ensuring reliable operation in wet conditions without compromising airflow.

The intake tube is designed using computer-aided design (CAD) and dyno-tuned to optimize airflow dynamics. Its roto-molded construction includes integrated resonance chambers that minimize intake noise, delivering a refined sound signature. The large Pro 5R filter features a robust 5-inch flange and an inverted top design, maximizing filter surface area and airflow capacity while providing excellent filtration efficiency.

Performance & Sound

This cold air intake system enhances engine performance by increasing the volume of cooler, denser air delivered to the engine, which can improve throttle response and overall horsepower potential. The dyno-tuned intake tube ensures smooth airflow transitions and reduces turbulence, contributing to consistent power gains. Additionally, the built-in resonance chambers help to reduce unwanted intake noise, providing a more pleasant and controlled engine sound without excessive drone.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake System is designed for a direct bolt-on installation with no modifications required. Its fewer-part design simplifies the installation process, allowing enthusiasts to upgrade their Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT quickly and easily. The system retains the factory water fording height, ensuring that off-road capability is not compromised. Clear sight windows allow for convenient filter inspections without disassembly, making maintenance straightforward.

What's Included
