DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

• The Chrysler LX platform (Dodge Charger, Challenger, Magnum, and Chrysler 300/300C) powered by the iconic 5.7L and 6.1L SRT8 HEMI V8 engines is built for high-displacement muscle car performance. However, the original factory plastic intake box uses narrow, baffled tubing and closed baffling that restricts air intake velocity and stifles throttle response under hard acceleration.
  
• The Cold Air Intake System replaces stock airbox with a high-flow mandrel-bent aluminum tube, a heavy-duty thermal heat shield box, and a washable dry air filter. By delivering cooler, oxygen-dense air directly into the throttle body, this system improves engine efficiency, sharpens throttle response, and unlocks an aggressive muscle car intake roar.

Key Features

• High-Flow Mandrel-Bent Tubing: Replaces restrictive stock piping to maximize CFM air volume and intake velocity into the HEMI throttle body.
• Thermal Heat Shield Box: Heavy-duty steel shield isolates the air filter from hot engine bay heat, drawing in cooler ambient air.
• Washable Dry Air Filter: High-flow, reusable filter element provides maximum filtration efficiency without requiring messy oil treatments.

• Aggressive HEMI V8 Intake Sound: Deletes factory sound baffles to unleash a deep, muscular intake growl under acceleration.

FAQ

Q: What are the main performance benefits of upgrading to this 5.7L/6.1L HEMI cold air intake?

A: Restrictive factory airboxes slow down intake airflow. Upgrading to this high-flow system increases air volume and velocity into the intake manifold, delivering sharper throttle response, faster acceleration, and increased horsepower and torque across the RPM band.

Q: Why is it necessary to disconnect the negative battery terminal before installing?

A: Disconnecting the battery for 15–20 minutes resets the ECU’s learned air-fuel trim values. This forces the engine computer to re-learn and instantly adapt to the increased airflow upon first startup.

Q: How tight should I torque the clamps on the silicone couplers?

A: Tighten the hose clamps with a hand socket wrench until the silicone coupler compresses firmly without bulging or slipping. Do not use power tools, as over-torquing can strip the clamp threads or deform the aluminum intake pipe.

Q: What should I check if I hear a whistling sound or experience a rough idle after installation?

A: A whistling noise or erratic idle usually indicates a vacuum leak. Verify that the silicone boot is pushed fully and evenly over the throttle body, ensure the IAT sensor grommet is completely flush, and check that both ends of the PCV breather hose are clamped tight.

Q: What is the most common mistake made during installation?

A: Damaging the IAT sensor O-ring during transfer or failing to seat the silicone coupler squarely over the throttle body lip. Any air leaks downstream of the sensor allow unmetered air into the engine, leading to a rough idle or a CEL.
