Cold Air Intake for Jeep Cherokee (1993-1998) 4.0L Inline-6 Engine

Maximize Low-End Torque on Your Jeep Cherokee XJ AMC 4.0L High Output

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1993-1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ owners running the legendary AMC 4.0L High Output engine. Whether you’re building a dedicated trail rig or maintaining a reliable daily driver, this intake is for the enthusiast who knows these straight-sixes need to breathe to perform.

The Problem: The factory air box on the AMC 4.0L was engineered more for sound dampening than actual flow. It utilizes a restrictive plastic housing and a narrow inlet tube that creates a massive bottleneck. This design limits the volumetric efficiency of the engine, particularly when you need that signature I6 torque for passing or climbing steep grades.

The Solution: We engineered this Stealth Black intake system to bypass the factory restrictions of the AMC 4.0L. By replacing the baffled stock box with T304 aluminum piping and a high-flow cone filter, we provide a straight-shot path for oxygen to reach the throttle body. This results in better throttle response and a much more aggressive tone under load.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Power Band: Improves horsepower and torque by up to 10%, giving the straight-six more breath in the mid-to-high RPM range.
• T304 Aluminum Construction: Lightweight, mandrel-bent piping prevents the air turbulence common in ribbed factory hoses and resists the harsh under-hood heat of the XJ engine bay.
• Trail-Ready Filtration: Includes a high-flow, washable filter that provides superior protection against dust and debris while only requiring maintenance every 50,000 miles.
• Simple Bolt-On Install: Engineered to utilize factory mounting points, allowing for a complete installation in under 60 minutes with basic hand tools.

The Performance Promise

Expert Tip: After installing your new intake, we recommend disconnecting your battery for 10-15 minutes. This allows the ECU to reset its long-term fuel trims and "learn" the increased air volume from the high-flow filter for the best possible results on your first drive.
