Key Features

The aFe Quantum Cold Air Intake incorporates cutting-edge design elements and materials to ensure superior performance and durability. Key features include:

• Integrated Filter-to-Housing design secured with four captive screws for a tight seal and easy installation
• Pro 5R oiled air filter with 5-layer progressive cotton media for maximum airflow and filtration efficiency
• Outflows the factory intake by 35%, with a measured flow rate of 365 CFM at 7" H2O
• CAD-designed XLPE roto-molded intake tube engineered for optimal airflow and heat soak resistance
• Silicone bellows coupling and stainless steel clamps provide a secure, vibration-resistant fit
• Lightweight injection molded base and top for enhanced rigidity and reduced weight
• Unique 5-rib industrial-grade housing design for long-lasting durability and aFe quality recognition
• Direct bolt-on fitment using factory mounting points—no cutting or modifications required

Construction & Design

The Quantum Cold Air Intake system is crafted with high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of daily driving and off-road conditions. The intake tube is made from high-impact XLPE roto-molded plastic, providing excellent heat soak resistance to maintain cooler intake air temperatures. This material also ensures durability against impacts and environmental exposure.

The integrated filter housing features a robust injection molded base and top, designed to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. The Pro 5R filter media is oiled and constructed with five layers of progressive cotton composite, delivering superior filtration without sacrificing airflow. Captive screws secure the filter to the housing, preventing hardware loss and ensuring a consistent seal.

Performance & Sound

The aFe Quantum Cold Air Intake system is dyno-tuned to optimize airflow dynamics, resulting in improved engine breathing and throttle response. While specific horsepower and torque gains are pending dyno verification, the system outflows the factory intake by 35%, allowing your turbocharged 2.0L engine to perform more efficiently under load.

In addition to performance benefits, the intake imparts a more aggressive induction sound, enhancing the driving experience without excessive noise or drone.

Installation & Fitment

This intake system is designed for a hassle-free, direct bolt-on installation on 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler models with the 2.0L Turbo engine. It utilizes all factory mounting points and includes all necessary clamps, couplings, and hardware. No cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications are required, allowing for a quick installation that can be completed in minutes with basic hand tools.
