Overview

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2XP Cold Air Intake (Part #51-13002-B) is a premium performance upgrade engineered specifically for the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar V6. Designed to replace the factory airbox and restrictive OEM intake tube, this direct bolt-on system delivers up to +21 horsepower and +19 lb-ft of torque, transforming throttle response, acceleration, and engine sound. Whether you're daily driving through city streets or conquering off-road trails, the Stage-2XP is engineered to outperform the stock intake right out of the box — no tuning required.

Key Features & Benefits

• +21 HP / +19 lb-ft Torque Max Gains — Dyno-proven power and torque increases over the factory intake, giving your Wrangler or Gladiator noticeably stronger acceleration and throttle response.
• 9" Tall 360° Radial Flow Pro DRY S Air Filter — Oil-free, inverted top conical filter with 3-layer progressively finer porosity synthetic media delivers maximum airflow with zero maintenance mess. No oiling needed — ever.
• Outflows Factory Intake by Up to 44% — More clean, cold, dense air means higher oxygen content in the combustion chamber, resulting in stronger combustion, more power, and improved fuel efficiency at wide-open throttle.
• One-Piece 3" Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Intake Tube — Wrinkle-black powder-coated aluminum tubing is precision-bent without kinks or restrictions, directing unrestricted airflow from the filter straight to the throttle body.
• 18-Gauge Powder-Coated One-Piece Steel Heat Shield — Sturdy single-piece construction blocks performance-robbing engine heat, keeping intake air as cool and dense as possible. Uses factory mounting locations — no cutting or assembly required.
• Direct Bolt-On Installation — No Cutting or Drilling — All OEM mounting points are retained. All clamps, couplings, and hardware are included. No professional installation required and no ECU tuning needed.
• Washable & Reusable Filter — The Pro DRY S filter is fully cleanable and reusable, making it a lifetime investment over disposable paper OEM filters.
• CARB Compliant — 50-State Legal — This intake system holds a California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order, making it fully street legal in all 50 states including California. Pass your smog check with confidence.
• Made in the USA — Designed, engineered, and manufactured at aFe's headquarters and production facility in Corona, California.
