Performance Air Filter Panel for Jeep Cherokee XJ 2.5L 4.0L 1990-2001

Increase Airflow and Filtration Efficiency for your Jeep Cherokee XJ & AMC Straight-6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Jeep Cherokee XJ owners running the legendary AMC Straight-6 and 2.5L AMC 150 engines, as well as select Mitsubishi and Volvo owners looking for a professional-grade filtration upgrade.

The Problem: The AMC Straight-6 is a workhorse, but it is notoriously sensitive to air intake restrictions. Factory paper filters are designed for cost, not performance; they clog quickly in dusty environments and provide a significant bottleneck as RPMs climb. Standard filters only trap particles down to 10 microns, leaving your internal components vulnerable to finer debris during heavy use.

The Solution: We utilize BMC’s full-molding system to create a filter that corrects the factory design flaws of the AMC Straight-6 intake tract. By using multi-layered cotton gauze treated with low-viscosity oil, this filter captures impurities as small as 7 microns while significantly increasing the volume of air reaching the manifold. Unlike paper filters that you toss in the trash, this is the last filter your XJ will ever need.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Induction: Optimized for the high-torque demands of the Jeep 4.0L, allowing the engine to breathe easier under load and improving throttle response.
• Full-Molding Construction: Built from a single mould with no welded joints, ensuring the filter won’t crack or fail even under the vibration of off-road use.
• Washable & Reusable: Fully regenerable using a BMC cleaning kit, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective choice over the life of the vehicle.
