The K&N 50-1563 is a NextGen cold air intake for the 5.7L V8 in the 2011–2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its tube is made from rotationally molded high-density polyethylene, and it pairs that tube with a semi-enclosed hybrid airbox with an enlarged fresh-air inlet, which the manufacturer says helps lower intake air temperatures. The manufacturer reports about 45.3% more airflow volume, plus gains of 34.03 hp and 23.83 lb-ft of torque on the stock tune with no tune required. That makes it a practical upgrade for buyers who want measurable gains over the factory airbox without paying for a reflash. The system also uses a washable, reusable High-Flow LIFETIME air filter with oiled cotton media, so the filter can be cleaned rather than replaced on a fixed schedule.
Installation is designed to be approachable for a home mechanic. The manufacturer says a typical installation takes around an hour, and the system seals with a sealing bead and a single hose clamp, which cuts down on hardware. The manufacturer lists the intake for V8 fuel-injected Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango models from 2011 through 2022, so confirm your model year and engine before ordering.
