aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake
2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL & 2020–2024 Jeep Gladiator JT 3.6L
Part #: 54-13078D
Overview
The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake with Pro DRY S Filter is engineered specifically for Jeep Wrangler JL models from 2018 to 2026 and Jeep Gladiator JT models from 2020 to 2024 equipped with the 3.6L engine. Designed to enhance your vehicle’s airflow and overall performance, this intake system replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow, open-element design. It is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved throttle response, increased horsepower potential, and a more aggressive induction sound without compromising filtration efficiency or requiring complex maintenance.
This intake system is perfect for street drivers and light off-road adventurers who want a reliable, durable upgrade that delivers consistent performance gains while maintaining ease of use and installation.
Key Features
The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake combines innovative design and premium materials to optimize airflow and filtration. Key features include:
- 8-inch tall 360-degree radial flow air filter with an inverted top for increased surface area and longer service intervals
- Pro DRY S oil-free synthetic media featuring three progressive layers for superior filtration efficiency and dust holding capacity
- Open-element XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) polymer housing that minimizes heat soak and reduces intake air temperatures
- Factory air inlet scoop integration to create a ram-air effect, enhancing air charge density
- Computer-designed, dyno-tuned intake tube engineered for maximum power gains and perfect fitment
- Patent-pending filter-to-housing interface that reduces part count by half compared to traditional cold air intakes
- Durable, heat-resistant materials built to withstand harsh engine bay conditions
- Direct-fit design utilizing factory mounting points—no cutting or modifications required
Construction & Design
The intake system features a robust XLPE polymer housing that resists heat soak, ensuring cooler air reaches the engine for improved combustion efficiency. The intake tube is precision-engineered using computer-aided design and validated through dyno testing to optimize airflow dynamics. The Pro DRY S filter media is a three-layer synthetic composite that provides excellent filtration without the need for oiling, simplifying maintenance and reducing the risk of contamination. The inverted filter top design increases the effective filter area, allowing for higher airflow and extended service intervals.
Performance & Sound
By replacing the restrictive factory airbox with an open-element design and integrating a ram-air effect through the factory inlet scoop, this intake system improves throttle response and can contribute to noticeable power gains. The aggressive induction sound enhances the driving experience, delivering a deeper and more pronounced intake tone that complements the Jeep’s rugged character.
Installation & Fitment
This aFe Magnum FORCE intake is a direct bolt-on upgrade for Jeep Wrangler JL (2018–2026) and Jeep Gladiator JT (2020–2024) models with the 3.6L engine. It installs easily using existing factory mounting points and requires no cutting, drilling, or modifications. All necessary clamps, couplings, and hardware are included to ensure a hassle-free installation process that can typically be completed with basic hand tools.
