If you’re looking to give your 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 3.6L V6 a little extra oomph, the HPS red performance cold air intake with heat shield (part number 827-664R) is a solid choice. This isn’t just another intake; it’s a game changer. The 3.25" mandrel-bent aluminum tube is designed to let your engine breathe better, which means improved throttle response and some impressive dyno-proven gains—think +6.1 Whp horsepower and +9.9 Ft/lbs of torque. And the best part? It keeps your air-fuel ratio safe, so you don’t have to worry about any nasty surprises down the line.

One of the standout features is the heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield that comes with the kit. It does a great job of blocking out engine heat, maximizing the cooling effect for better performance. Installation is a breeze too. The kit includes a manual with clear pictures and step-by-step instructions, so you won’t be left scratching your head. Plus, there’s no tuning required after installation, and you won’t trigger that annoying CEL light. No modifications are necessary, making it a straightforward upgrade.

The lightweight aluminum piping replaces the stock restrictive air box, optimizing airflow for long-lasting durability. You also get HPS's signature reinforced silicone hoses and 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps, which means you’re set for reliability—even when you’re pushing your Jeep to the limits. And let’s not forget about the all-new HPS performance air filter. Made right here in the USA, it’s designed for high performance, offering excellent filtration without choking off airflow.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you’re getting:

• Dyno-proven gains of +6.1 Whp and +9.9 Ft/lbs torque—no tuning needed.
