• Dry Washable Filter: Easier to maintain and clean, perfect for street driving and light off-road use.

Construction & Design

The intake tube is crafted using advanced rotational molding technology from high-quality materials, resulting in a smooth, seamless interior surface that reduces turbulence and maximizes airflow efficiency. The integrated resonator has been carefully engineered and dyno-tested to reduce intake noise without sacrificing performance, delivering a refined yet aggressive engine sound.

The CNC-machined EVAP venturi ensures proper venting of the evaporative emissions system, maintaining factory-level emissions compliance and preventing check engine lights. The entire assembly fits precisely within the Jeep Wrangler JL’s engine bay, utilizing factory mounting points and the stock lower airbox for a professional, clean installation.

Performance & Sound

By increasing airflow by up to 39% compared to the stock intake, the Mishimoto Performance Air Intake allows the turbocharger to breathe more freely. This improvement enhances throttle response and enables higher boost levels when paired with appropriate tuning. The integrated resonator is tuned to maintain a balanced intake sound, providing a more aggressive yet refined engine note that complements the Jeep’s rugged character without excessive drone or harshness.

Installation & Fitment

The Mishimoto Performance Air Intake is designed for a direct bolt-on installation that typically takes about one hour. It retains the factory lower airbox and mounting points, requiring no permanent modifications or cutting. The included CNC-machined EVAP venturi ensures full compatibility with the Jeep’s emissions system, preventing check engine lights.

This intake fits all 2018 through 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL models equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged engine, including Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, and Unlimited trims.
