Jeep Air Intake Systems – AIRAID, K&N, and aFe Air Intakes
Comments 298
If you’re looking for some significant performance gains, a Jeep air intake system is one of the best. Not only will it increase your horsepower and torque, but it will also improve your gas mileage. For the June vote, choose which air intake you want installed on this 2010 Jeep: AIRAID, K&N, or aFe.
Last month we upgraded the exhaust so we could make sure that all the used air will be taken out of the Jeep as quickly as possible. The air intake system is the second part of this process; before you take the air out, you have to make sure you have the right Jeep parts to get the air in. Having a cool air intake system is incredibly beneficial because cooler air is denser, so more air can pass through the system much faster than before. The more air that gets to the engine to mix the fuel, the more combustion there will be and the more efficiently and powerfully your engine will run.
Choose which Jeep air intake should be installed on the Jeep JK:
AIRAID Cool Air Dam Intake System
The mandrel-formed tubing of these AIRAID intake systems are made with the best materials and top-notch production techniques. In addition to having a larger diameter than stock intakes, each AIRAID intake system is powder coated inside and out for a smoother airflow. This also makes it more durable and long lasting.
Benefits:
- Up to 30% more airflow over stock
- Horsepower Gain: 14
- Torque Gain: 24 lbs-ft
- Air Filter is washable and reusable
K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kit
This K&N intake system has a tube that’s specifically designed to be aerodynamic, and it comes with an oversized conical air filter. It gets more cool air to the engine by using a heat shield, which isolates the cool air from the warm. To back up their product, each air intake system comes with a million mile limited warranty.
Benefits:
- 26% more airflow over stock
- Up to 10% increase in power
- Estimated Horsepower Gain: 8.17 at 4807 RPM
- Air Filter is washable and reusable
aFe Stage 2 Cold Air Intake System
The aFe Stage 2 intake system traps heat in two ways: with a powder coated heat shield and a heat-insulating molded plastic tube. These work with the conical air filter to provide as much cool air as possible to the engine. Plus, each air filter is made out of 100% polyurethane so it will last through multiple cleaning cycles.
Benefits:
- 58% more airflow over stock
- Horsepower Gain: 6
- Torque Gain: 8 lbs-ft
- Air Filter is washable and reusable
We’re nearing the end of our contest, but that doesn’t mean we’re overlooking any of the details. In addition to the air filter that you choose, we’ll be installing Bestop HighRock 4×4 Replacement Mirrors as well. These are heavy-duty Jeep accessories that will hold up to the rigors of off-roading.
About AIRAID: Since 2007, AIRAID has been innovating the air filter industry with new and improved products. They’re the recognized leader in air management for both diesel and gas applications.
About K&N: The reusable cotton gauze filter engineered by K&N has revolutionized the industry by making your air filter last longer. This global company is now bringing this technology to consumers around the world.
About aFe: If you’ve got a power-hungry engine, then aFe is the answer. They’ve designed 3 different air intake systems to meet any vehicle’s needs and provide the highest possible performance gains.
