Cold Air Intake for Jeep Commander (2006-2010) 5.7L HEMI Engine Black Twin

Your 5.7L HEMI is basically trying to breathe through a straw. The factory intake system on the Commander XK is designed for one thing: silence. It chokes off airflow with restrictive baffles and corrugated tubing that creates turbulence right before the throttle body. If you want to wake up that V8 and actually hear the induction noise you paid for, you need to clear the airway.

Performance Cold Air Intake Upgrade for Jeep Commander (XK Platform 5.7L HEMI)

The Jeep Commander is a heavy rig, and while the 5.7L HEMI is a legendary powerplant, it feels sluggish off the line in stock form. This isn't necessarily an engine power issue; it's an efficiency issue. The OEM airbox is full of resonators and sound-deadening chambers that smooth out airflow at the cost of velocity. By replacing that plastic maze with this T-306 Aluminum High Quality Finished Intake pipe, you are straightening the airflow path. This direct shot allows the engine to gulp air volume faster, resulting in a noticeable improvement in throttle response. When you step on the gas to pass on the highway, the transmission doesn't need to hunt as long—the power is just there.

We specifically chose T-306 aluminum for this kit. Unlike cheap plastic that eventually becomes brittle and cracks from heat cycling, aluminum dissipates heat quickly and handles the high under-hood temperatures of the Commander's tight engine bay. The pipe features a stealth black finish that looks right at home in the engine bay without being overly flashy. It replaces the accordion-style intake tube, smoothing out the interior surface to reduce air turbulence entering the manifold.

Regarding fitment versatility: This kit is designed for the 5.7L, but the architecture allows for fitment on 6.1L HEMI applications (often found in engine swaps or platform-shared modifications) provided you remove the upper fan shroud. This modification is necessary to clear the larger intake diameter on the 6.1L block. Whether you are running a stock daily driver or a tuned rig, this intake provides the airflow headroom required for gains of up to 10 horsepower and 10 lb-ft of torque.

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Verified Power Gains: Dyno-proven increases of up to 10HP and 10 TQ by simply removing intake restriction.
• Sharper Throttle Response: Eliminates the lag associated with the stock baffled airbox, getting that heavy XK moving quicker.
• Superior Durability: Constructed from T-306 Aluminum which resists cracking and deformation better than factory plastic.
• Aggressive Induction Sound: Deleting the factory resonator lets you finally hear the deep HEMI growl under wide-open throttle.
• Tunable Platform: This hardware works exceptionally well when paired with performance chips or ECU tunes that can utilize the extra air density.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward for the standard 5.7L configuration, utilizing existing mounting points. However, please note the specific requirement provided for larger displacement setups: The upper fan shroud must be removed to fit this pipe on a 6.1L Engine configuration. This is a critical clearance modification. The kit is compatible with both Automatic and Manual Transmissions (where applicable/swapped). Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before installing to force the ECU to relearn the new airflow parameters.
