Cold Air Intake for Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011-2019) 5.7L HEMI Engine

Wake Up Your Eagle HEMI: High-Flow Intake for the 5.7L Grand Cherokee

Who It’s For: Engineered for 2011-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee owners running the 5.7L Eagle HEMI powerplant who are tired of the stock sluggishness and that disconnected feeling in the throttle pedal.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the Eagle HEMI is designed for silence and cost-efficiency, not performance. It utilizes a massive, restrictive resonator box and accordion-style plastic tubing that creates significant internal air turbulence. In a heavy SUV like the Grand Cherokee, this results in a noticeable lag when you’re trying to merge onto the highway or pull a trailer. The engine is essentially trying to breathe through a straw, choking the throttle response exactly when you need that V8 torque to overcome the vehicle’s curb weight.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that restrictive factory plumbing with a mandrel-bent T304 aluminum tube. By removing the factory baffles and straightening the airflow path, we significantly reduce the friction that slows down incoming air. This kit relocates the high-flow cotton filter to capture a more consistent stream of air, increasing the oxygen density entering the combustion chamber. The result is a sharper throttle snap, improved volumetric efficiency, and a deep induction growl that lets everyone know there’s a HEMI under the hood.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Enhanced Torque Delivery: By smoothing out the air path, we help the 5.7L Eagle HEMI reach its peak torque faster, which is critical for moving a 5,000lb+ chassis or managing towing strain.
• True Induction Roar: Unlike the muffled factory setup, this aluminum intake allows the natural acoustic signature of the V8 to resonate upon heavy acceleration.
• T304 Aluminum Construction: We use lightweight, mandrel-bent aluminum rather than plastic to ensure the internal diameter remains constant through every bend, preventing the "hot spots" and collapsing common with cheap rubber boots.
