Key Features
- Mandrel-bent aluminum tube: The smooth 3-inch tube replaces the factory corrugated intake tube; its black powder-coated finish is intended to resist under-hood heat and corrosion.
- Dry cotton gauze filter: The washable red element needs no oil, avoiding the oiling step and the related risk of oil reaching a sensor.
- Sealed heat shield: The black steel shield and edge trim are designed to isolate the filter from engine-bay heat and seal against the hood liner while drawing air from outside the engine bay.
- Expected power change: Approximately 20-29 hp (7-10%) is the published range based on a stock 285 hp Pentastar; results vary with vehicle and operating conditions, including on eTorque models.
- Expected torque change: Approximately 13-18 lb-ft (5-7%) is the published range based on stock 260 lb-ft output; the intended benefit includes low-to-mid-range response for trail driving and highway merging.
- Intake tone: Expect a deeper induction sound under acceleration, with a quieter character at idle and cruise; sound varies by vehicle and driving conditions.
- Reusable filter: The stated service interval is approximately 15,000-20,000 miles, or 5,000-10,000 miles in dusty off-road use, which can reduce disposable filter purchases and waste.
- Bolt-on package: Couplers, clamps, hardware, and instructions support a typical 30-45 minute installation with basic hand tools, without cutting or drilling, and allow a return to the stock configuration.
Who This Kit Is For
This kit is for the 3.6L Pentastar Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT owner who wants a dry, reusable filter, a powder-coated intake assembly, and a deeper induction note. For other Jeep intake configurations, browse the Jeep cold air intake kits collection.
Check Before Ordering
- Confirm your vehicle is a Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT with the 3.6L Pentastar V6. A 2018 Wrangler may be a JK or JL; check the vehicle designation before ordering.
- The fitment tab covers standard and eTorque configurations, 4WD, and specific trims. Confirm the exact trim and model year with Flashark support if your configuration differs from the fitment information.
- This kit is not for the 2.0L turbo I4, 3.0L EcoDiesel V6, 6.4L V8 Rubicon 392, or Wrangler JK. The JK requires a different intake kit.
- Confirm factory sensor and throttle-body connections before installation. Reuse the applicable factory sensor and check all couplers and clamps for a secure seal; a check engine light cannot be ruled out for every vehicle.
- Use the dry filter without oil and inspect it more often in dusty off-road conditions. Avoid deep water crossings because water ingestion can cause engine damage.
- Check the emissions rules where the vehicle is registered before ordering. Contact Flashark support for fitment or installation help.

Fitment & Compatibility
💡 Pro Tip: The Wrangler JL replaced the JK in 2018, and the Gladiator JT launched in 2020 on a stretched JL platform. Both share the same 3.6L Pentastar V6 and similar (but not identical to JK) engine bay layouts. The easiest way to confirm your model: JK Wranglers have round headlights; JL Wranglers have rectangular headlights with LED signature lighting. If you have a 2018 Wrangler, check your headlights to determine whether it's a late JK or an early JL.

Product FAQ
A1: Not legal for sale or use in California (and other CARB-adopting states). Check the rules that apply where your vehicle is registered before ordering. A2: It is intended for the Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT model years shown in the Fitment table with the 3.6L Pentastar V6. Contact us to verify your year, model, engine, and trim before ordering if you are unsure. A3: Typical intake-only gains for this application are approximately 20-29 hp (7-10%). Actual results depend on the vehicle, calibration, installation, and supporting hardware. A4: MPG is dominated by driving habits; an intake alone can't guarantee a measurable gain. Expect the main benefit as throttle response and intake tone rather than fuel economy. A5: A check engine light is possible if a connection leaks or a sensor does not read as expected after installation. Check the couplers, clamps, and factory sensor connection if a warning appears. A6: No. The dry cotton gauze filter is washable and does not require filter oil. Inspect it more frequently in dusty conditions. A7: Inspect and clean it approximately every 15,000-20,000 miles in typical use. For dusty off-road driving, inspect more often and use approximately 5,000-10,000 miles as a service guide. A8: Expect a deeper intake tone under acceleration and a quieter sound at idle or cruise. Sound is subjective and varies with driving conditions. A9: The package includes the intake tube, dry filter, heat shield, edge trim, two couplers, four clamps, hardware, and instructions. Check the What's in the Box list for quantities before installation. A10: A socket set, screwdriver, and pliers are the stated tools for a typical bolt-on installation. Allow approximately 30-45 minutes, with timing varying by vehicle and experience. A11: No. This kit is for the JL platform; the 2018 JK is a different platform. Confirm which Wrangler you have before ordering.Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT 3.6L Cold Air Intake FAQs
