Flashark Cold Air Intake Kit for 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 3.6L V6 Pentastar

The factory airbox on your 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 3.6L Pentastar V6 chokes airflow with a narrow, convoluted intake tract designed for quiet cruising — not for delivering the air your engine craves on the trail or the highway. The Flashark Cold Air Intake Kit replaces that restrictive stock box with a smooth 3-inch (76mm) mandrel-bent aluminum tube, a high-flow dry cotton gauze filter, and a sealed heat shield that pulls cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay. The result is a measurable improvement in throttle response, a deeper intake growl under acceleration, and an estimated 7-10% horsepower gain (20-29 HP) with 5-7% more torque (13-18 lb-ft) — all without requiring a tune. The black powder-coated finish resists under-hood heat and corrosion, while the dry filter means no messy oiling and no risk of MAF sensor contamination. Bolt-on installation takes about 45 minutes with basic hand tools. No cutting, no drilling, no check engine lights. ⚠️ Note: This intake is designed for the 3.6L Pentastar V6 only. It does NOT fit the 2.0L turbo, 3.0L EcoDiesel, or 3.8L V6 (2007-2011) Wrangler models. Key Features 3" (76mm) Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Tube — Smooth, unrestricted airflow path replaces the factory corrugated tube; black powder-coated finish for heat resistance and corrosion protection Dry Cotton Gauze Filter — No Oil Required — High-flow washable dry filter element; no oiling means zero risk of MAF sensor contamination, a common issue with oiled filters on the Pentastar V6 Sealed Heat Shield with Edge Trim — Isolates the filter from engine-bay heat, drawing cooler, denser air for consistent power delivery; black edge trim ensures a snug seal against the hood liner No Tune Required — Plug-and-play bolt-on design; works with factory ECU programming without triggering a check engine light or requiring a custom tune Deeper Intake Growl — Replaces the muffled factory intake note with a more aggressive induction sound under load — without being obnoxiously loud at idle Washable & Reusable Filter — Clean and re-oil-free maintenance every 15,000-20,000 miles (more frequently in dusty off-road conditions); saves money over disposable paper filters Complete Bolt-On Kit — Includes all necessary couplers, clamps, hardware, and installation guide; typical install time 30-45 minutes with basic hand tools Specifications SKU: BQM0004005 Brand: Flashark Vehicle Fitment: 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK (2-door & 4-door Unlimited) Engine: 3.6L V6 Pentastar (Chrysler ERV) Pipe Diameter: 76mm (3.0") Pipe Material: Aluminum piping Tubing Finish: Black powder-coated Filter Type: Dry cotton gauze Filter Color: Red Heat Shield: Black powder-coated steel with edge trim Couplers: Silicone reducer couplers Clamps: Stainless steel T-bolt clamps CEL Risk: None (designed to work with stock MAF sensor readings) Installation Time: 30-45 minutes Tools Required: Basic hand tools (socket set, screwdriver, pliers) Filter Maintenance: Clean every 15,000-20,000 miles (5,000-10,000 in dusty conditions) Warranty: 1 Year Emissions Note: 50-state legal (does not modify emissions systems) Customer Service: service@flasharkracing.com Shop More Cold Air Intake Kits Jeep Cold Air Intake Kits Package Includes 1x Black powder-coated aluminum intake tube (76mm / 3.0") 1x Red dry cotton gauze cone filter 1x Black powder-coated steel heat shield 1x Black edge trim (for heat shield sealing) 2x Silicone reducer couplers 1x Rubber ventilation hose 4x Stainless steel T-bolt clamps 1x Installation hardware kit (bolts, washers, nuts, brackets) 1x Installation instructions manual
