Spectre 9020 Air Intake Kit for 2011-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee/Dodge Durango 3.

Vehicle Fitment

• 2011-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (All Trims), 3.6L V6
• 2011-2015 Dodge Durango (All Trims), 3.6L V6

Fitment Notes

• Designed for the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine only - does not fit Grand Cherokee or Durango models equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8 or 3.0L EcoDiesel V6
• Direct bolt-on replacement for the factory airbox - no permanent modifications required for installation; retains OE mounting points
• Legal for use in all 50 US states - not subject to CARB restrictions
• Will not void the factory powertrain warranty per the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. Sections 2301-2312)
• Some reviewers on later Durango model years (2014-2015) have noted minor fitment adjustments may be required during installation due to component placement differences between model years; all hardware is included to complete the installation

Features

• Engineered to deliver up to 14 HP gain over the factory air intake system by improving airflow volume and reducing restriction from the airbox to the throttle body
• High-quality polished aluminum intake tubing - mandrel-bent for consistent interior diameter along the entire length of the tube, eliminating the flow bottlenecks created by stock plastic intake channels that collapse or reduce in diameter at bends
• Black powder-coated steel heat shield isolates the intake filter and tubing from radiated engine bay heat, helping to maintain a cooler, denser intake air charge for improved combustion efficiency
• Lifetime washable and reusable Spectre hpR+ air filter in red - non-woven synthetic media engineered for high airflow with effective filtration; cleaning and re-oiling extends filter life indefinitely, eliminating the recurring cost of disposable paper filters
• Velocity stack included - smooths the transition at the filter inlet to reduce turbulence and improve airflow consistency at the entry point of the system
• OE-quality rubber couplers, stainless steel clamps, and mounting brackets provide a secure, rattle-free installation that matches factory fit quality
• Easy installation using common hand tools with no cutting, drilling, or permanent vehicle modifications - detailed installation instructions included
• Compatible with the stock MAF (mass airflow) sensor - the intake tube is designed to accommodate the factory MAF sensor without modification, ensuring proper fuel system operation and preventing check engine lights

Product Description

The Spectre 9020 is a direct bolt-on performance air intake kit designed specifically for 2011-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2011-2015 Dodge Durango models equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine. It replaces the factory plastic airbox and intake tract with a polished aluminum tube system and a black powder-coated steel heat shield, delivering measurable improvements in airflow volume and intake air density that Spectre rates at up to 14 HP over the stock system. The kit is a direct fit using existing factory mounting points and includes all necessary hardware - couplers, clamps, velocity stack, bracket, and edge trim - for a complete installation with common hand tools and no permanent vehicle modifications.

The polished aluminum intake tube is mandrel-bent, meaning the tube maintains a consistent inner diameter through every bend rather than collapsing inward as plastic tubing can under heat cycling. This ensures unrestricted, steady airflow from filter to throttle body without the velocity losses created by diameter reductions at bends. The heat shield wraps around the filter and tube to block radiated engine heat from entering the intake stream, maintaining a cooler and denser air charge - particularly important in stop-and-go or high-load situations where underhood temperatures rise significantly. The included Spectre hpR+ air filter uses non-woven synthetic media that flows more freely than OE paper filters while still capturing particulates; unlike paper filters, it can be cleaned, re-oiled, and returned to service indefinitely, making it a one-time purchase for the life of the vehicle.

The Spectre 9020 is designed to accommodate the factory MAF sensor without modification, making it a true plug-and-play installation that does not require an ECU tune or recalibration to function correctly. The system is legal for use in all 50 US states and, per the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, cannot be used as grounds to void a factory powertrain warranty on the Grand Cherokee or Durango. Owners of the 5.7L HEMI V8 or 3.0L EcoDiesel variants of either vehicle should not use this kit, as it is specific to the 3.6L V6 intake configuration. The kit is backed by Spectre's limited lifetime warranty and is manufactured for a direct-fit, OE-quality installation.
