Key Features

This intake system incorporates advanced design elements and premium materials to deliver superior performance and longevity:

• Oil-free 7" tall flat top conical air filter with 360-degree radial flow for maximum airflow
• Five layers of progressively finer cotton mesh media for enhanced filtration and airflow
• CAD-designed, dyno-tuned roto-molded intake tube for optimized power gains and perfect fitment
• Plastic injected fitting integrated on the intake tube for seamless temperature sensor connection
• 18-gauge powder-coated black steel heat shield that snaps onto the factory air box for effective heat protection
• Utilizes factory mounting locations for quick and secure installation
• Includes all necessary clamps, couplings, and hardware for hassle-free assembly
• Direct bolt-on design requiring no modifications to OEM parts

Construction & Design

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake is crafted with durability and performance in mind. The intake tube is roto-molded using computer-aided design (CAD) to ensure precise dimensions and smooth airflow paths, reducing turbulence and maximizing volumetric efficiency. The heat shield is constructed from sturdy 18-gauge steel and finished with a powder-coated black surface to resist corrosion and protect the intake air from engine heat, preserving cooler, denser air for combustion.

The Pro 5R air filter features a unique oil-free design with multiple layers of cotton mesh media that progressively filter incoming air while maintaining high flow rates. This design reduces maintenance complexity and enhances longevity compared to traditional oiled filters.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory intake components with a high-flow filter and optimized intake tube, this system improves engine breathing, resulting in increased horsepower and torque potential. The enhanced airflow also contributes to sharper throttle response and a more aggressive engine sound, providing a more engaging driving experience without excessive noise.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake is designed for a straightforward installation process. It installs directly onto the factory mounting points without the need for cutting, drilling, or other modifications, preserving the integrity of the OEM components. All necessary hardware, clamps, and couplings are included to ensure a secure and professional fit. Installation can typically be completed with basic hand tools in under an hour.

What's Included

• 7" tall flat top conical Pro 5R air filter (oil-free)
