Cold Air Intake for Jeep Wrangler JK (2012-2018) 3.6L V6 Engine

Waken the Pentastar V6: High-Flow Intake for 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK owners running the Pentastar V6 engine who want better throttle response and a more aggressive engine note during acceleration.

The Problem: The factory air box on the 3.6L is built for sound suppression, not airflow. It uses a restrictive, baffled design that traps heat and forces the engine to work harder to pull in oxygen. This “stuffy” intake environment leads to lazy throttle response and a loss of potential power, especially when you’ve added the weight of larger tires or heavy off-road armor.

The Solution: This Performance Cold Air Intake system replaces the entire restrictive factory assembly with a high-flow mandrel-bent aluminum tube and an open-element filter. By straightening the airflow path and utilizing T304 aluminum to dissipate heat quickly, we ensure the engine receives a steady diet of cooler, oxygen-rich air for more efficient combustion.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Measurable Gains: Expect a performance increase of up to 10% in horsepower and torque by reducing the parasitic drag caused by the factory intake baffling.
• Trail-Ready Durability: Constructed from premium T304 Aluminum, this intake is built to withstand the vibrations and heat cycles of intense off-roading without cracking like the stock plastic unit.
• Maintenance-Free Filter: Includes a high-flow, washable dry filter that only requires cleaning every 50,000 miles, eliminating the need for restrictive paper filters.
