Cold Air Intake for Jeep Wrangler 2007-2011 JK JKU 3.8L V6 Engine

Unlock the hidden potential of your 3.8L V6 and reclaim the power that is currently being choked by your restrictive, heat-trapping factory air box.

High-Velocity Cold Air Intake System for 2007-2011 Jeep Wrangler JK & JLU (3.8L V6)

The early JK "Minivan Motor" is notorious for feeling sluggish, especially when you've added the weight of 35-inch tires and steel bumpers. Much of this "dead pedal" feel comes from the factory intake's baffled accordion tube, which is designed for silence rather than speed. This high-flow intake system replaces that restrictive plastic path with a smooth-bore mandrel-bent tube, significantly reducing air turbulence and allowing your engine to breathe in the high-density, oxygen-rich air it needs for combustion.

We know how heat soak kills performance during low-speed rock crawling on the trail. By pulling cooler air from outside the immediate engine heat zone, this system produces a denser intake charge, resulting in a noticeable gain in throttle response and a potential increase of up to 2 MPG on the highway. It’s a "Real Talk" solution for the underpowered 3.8L, providing that extra grunt needed to merge into traffic or power through a steep incline without the engine feeling like it's gasping for breath.

Maintenance is a breeze compared to the stock setup. Instead of tossing expensive paper filters into the trash every time they get filled with trail dust, this kit features a high-quality, reusable filter. Every 6 to 10 months, you can simply pull it off, blow it out with an air compressor or wash it, and get right back to the trail. It’s a one-time investment that cleans up your engine bay and gives your Jeep a deep, throaty growl that lets people know it's not a stock rig.

Technical Specifications

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Instant Throttle Response: Eliminates the factory intake silencer to provide a more direct connection between your foot and the throttle body.
• Fuel Efficiency: Improved airflow allows the engine to operate more efficiently, offering potential gains of up to 2 MPG depending on your driving habits.
• Aggressive Sound: Replaces the "whiny" stock vacuum sound with a deep, muscular intake note under heavy acceleration.
• Washable & Reusable: Stop paying for replacement filters; this high-flow unit is designed to be cleaned and re-installed for the life of your Jeep.

Installation & Usage

Installation is simple and can be completed in your driveway in about 45 minutes with a basic socket set and screwdriver. You’ll be removing the bulky factory air box and the restrictive plastic intake tube. Pro Tip: We strongly recommend disconnecting your battery for 15 minutes during the install. This forces the Jeep's ECU to reset and "re-learn" the new, increased air volume for the best performance gains.

Stop choking your JK’s performance and give that 3.8L the high-flow air it’s been starving for.
