The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 intake replaces the factory air inlet on the MKV Jetta and Rabbit 2.5L five-cylinder with an intake tube, a silicone coupling and an exposed Pro 5R filter. The filter uses five-layer oiled cotton gauze that can be cleaned, re-oiled and reused. The factory mass air flow sensor moves to the aFe tube with two M4 screws.
