Construction & Design
The Momentum GT intake system features a high-quality, one-piece housing made from black cross-linked polyethylene using roto-molding technology. This construction ensures a durable, heat-resistant, and sealed environment that protects the intake air from heat soak and contaminants. The intake tube is precision CAD-designed and roto-molded to provide an exact fit and optimal airflow dynamics, including a resonance chamber that minimizes unwanted intake noise for a refined driving experience.
The large inverted-top Pro 5R air filter is constructed with five progressively finer layers of oiled cotton gauze, delivering excellent filtration efficiency while maintaining high airflow capacity. The unique filter-to-housing interface allows for a larger filter size than typical systems, increasing available air volume and enhancing performance.
Performance & Sound
This intake system is dyno-tested to provide measurable power gains, including up to 13 additional horsepower and 12 lb-ft of torque. The sealed design ensures cooler, denser air reaches the engine, improving combustion efficiency. Additionally, the integrated resonance chamber in the intake tube reduces harsh intake noises, delivering a more pleasant and controlled engine sound without sacrificing performance.
Installation & Fitment
The aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake is designed for a straightforward, bolt-on installation with no cutting, drilling, or modifications required to factory components. The unique filter-to-housing interface simplifies the assembly process, allowing for quick and secure installation. This system fits the Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2012 through 2018 equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation.
