Cold Air Intake Filter Kit for Jaguar XF (2013-2015) 3.0L Supercharged Engine

Stop letting your supercharger suffocate behind those restrictive, plastic factory air boxes and finally hear that V6 breathe.

Performance Intake Upgrade for Jaguar XF (AJ126 V6 Supercharged)

If you have ever spent time on the Jaguar forums, you know the AJ126 is a masterpiece of an engine, but the factory induction system is built more for silence than for flow. The stock air boxes are designed with internal baffling to keep things quiet for the average commuter, but for the enthusiast, that means leaving throttle response and supercharger whine on the table. This kit targets the primary bottleneck by replacing the entire air box assemblies with high-flow, washable filters and vehicle-specific heat shields.

By retaining the factory intake piping, we maintain the calculated air velocity the ECU expects while drastically reducing the effort required for the supercharger to pull in fresh air. This isn't just about the 9–11 wheel horsepower gain; it's about the "area under the curve." You will notice a sharper, more immediate tip-in when pulling away from a light and a much more rewarding soundtrack when the needle climbs toward the redline.

The Jaguar engine bay runs notoriously hot. This kit includes dedicated heat shields to help isolate your intake charge from the radiant heat of the supercharged V6. By keeping intake air temperatures (IATs) lower, you help prevent the ECU from pulling timing during spirited driving, ensuring your performance remains consistent even when the engine bay is up to temp.

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Sharper Throttle Response: Reduces the vacuum lag associated with restrictive factory paper filters and baffled boxes.
• Supercharger Sound: Safely increases the audible "whine" of the supercharger under load without being obnoxious at highway speeds.
• High-Flow Filtration: Includes two washable, reusable filters.
• Heat Management: Integrated heat shields help mitigate heat soak, keeping the intake charge denser and cooler.

Installation Notes

This is a direct-fit upgrade using factory mounting points. No cutting or permanent modifications to your XF are required. You will reuse your original factory intake piping. For the best results, we recommend disconnecting the battery for roughly 10 minutes after the install; this prompts the ECU to reset its long-term fuel trims and quickly adapt to the increased airflow volume.

Will this kit fit a 2016 Jaguar XF or other engine configurations?
This kit is engineered specifically for the 2013–2015 Jaguar XF (X250) with the 3.0L V6 Supercharged (AJ126) engine, in both RWD and AWD setups.

What is included in the kit?
The kit includes two washable cotton gauze high-flow air filters and vehicle-specific steel heat shields that replace the factory plastic air boxes while reusing your stock intake piping.

Does installation require cutting or permanent modifications?
Installation is a direct bolt-on using factory mounting points and your original intake piping, taking roughly 60 minutes with no cutting or permanent modifications required.

Do I need a tune after installing this intake?
By retaining the factory intake piping, the kit maintains the air velocity the ECU expects. Disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes after installation is recommended so the ECU resets its fuel trims and adapts to the increased airflow.
