Open Element Air Intake

The VOLANT Open Element Air Intake (SKU VOL27740) is a high-flow induction system engineered for Jeep Cherokee inline 6-cylinder engines (1991–2001 model years). This reusable oiled-element design delivers increased airflow to the engine intake manifold, supporting improved throttle response and power delivery while maintaining engine protection through the washable, reusable filter element.

The system features a molded black plastic construction that integrates seamlessly with OEM engine bay geometry on compatible Cherokee applications. The open-element design—as opposed to sealed box configurations—exposes the filter media to ambient air, maximizing intake volume during acceleration and sustained driving. The reusable oiled filter element reduces consumable costs compared to disposable units and allows for field cleaning when airflow begins to restrict. Weight of 5.24 lbs ensures minimal impact on engine dynamics while providing rigid filter support and vibration isolation from engine movement.

Buyers upgrading from stock restrictive intake systems will notice more aggressive engine response off idle and during mid-range acceleration, particularly noticeable in loaded or off-road duty where sustained power demand matters. This kit is intended for operators, off-road enthusiasts, and vehicle owners seeking measurable gains in air induction efficiency without complex engine modification. Proper filter maintenance—periodic cleaning with appropriate solvent and re-oiling—ensures consistent performance and extends service life.

VOLANT's reputation in the performance intake market centers on straightforward, proven designs that prioritize flow gains over aesthetic trends. The Cherokee inline 6-cylinder platform benefits from unrestricted air delivery, and this open-element approach delivers measurable results for vehicles operating in variable terrain and duty cycles.
