Jeep Wrangler 2.0L Intake: 50-State Compliant
50-State Emissions Legal Airflow for the Turbocharged Wrangler JL
The Banks Ram-Air now has extended 50-State Compliance for your turbocharged 2018-2023 2.0L gas and hybrid Jeep Wrangler JLs. This cold air intake maximizes air density through a large-tapered induction shape. It outflows competitor designs by nearly forty percent on the flow bench.
The enclosed induction box features Banks’ exclusive Big-Ass Filter. A central oval outlet provides uniform 360-degree airflow distribution around the element. This massive surface area lowers intake restriction significantly. Crucially, it collects greater dust volume to safeguard turbocharger compressor wheels on dusty off-road trails.

Engineering the Jeep Wrangler 2.0L Intake for Maximum Air Density
Off-road trail exploration subjects turbocharged engines to extreme ambient heat and airborne trail silt. Traditional open-element filters draw hot engine bay air and clog quickly. In contrast, the Banks Ram-Air system seals tightly against hot underhood air. The oversized cross-linked polyethylene housing directs cool, outside air straight into the turbocharger compressor inlet. Denser intake air creates stronger combustion and sharper throttle response over rugged terrain.
Furthermore, full CARB emissions certification guarantees complete smog compliance across all fifty states. California off-road enthusiasts pass biennial vehicle inspections without removing aftermarket equipment. The reusable high-capacity filter element continues flowing massive air volume long after smaller aftermarket filters choke. Upgrade your Jeep Wrangler 2.0L today to experience dependable trail muscle with total peace of mind.
