AirAid Performance Air Intake System

Fits Most Chrysler/Dodge 6.1L/5.7L (05-10)

Part #: 351-199

Overview

The AirAid Performance Air Intake System with Cold Air Dam is engineered specifically for 2005 to 2010 Chrysler 300C, Dodge Challenger, Charger, and Magnum models equipped with 5.7L HEMI and 6.1L SRT8 engines. Designed to replace the factory air box and intake components, this system delivers a larger volume of cooler outside air to your engine, resulting in improved horsepower and torque output. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced engine breathing without sacrificing reliability or street legality, the AirAid Cold Air Intake provides a straightforward upgrade that optimizes airflow and engine performance.

This intake system retains the original air filter location while incorporating a large open-element air inlet protected by Cold Air Dam panels. These panels effectively isolate the air filter from hot engine bay air, ensuring a steady supply of cooler, denser air for combustion. The result is a more efficient engine response and enhanced throttle feel across the powerband.

Key Features

The AirAid Cold Air Intake System combines innovative design with quality materials to maximize airflow and filtration efficiency. Key features include:

• Cold Air Dam panels that block hot engine compartment air and channel cooler outside air to the filter
• Replacement low-restriction intake tube made from high-density cross-linked polyethylene for durability and heat resistance
• 360-degree conical premium air filter constructed from washable, reusable non-woven synthetic media
• Retention of factory air filter location and use of existing cold air inlet ducts for seamless integration
• Blade-style weather stripping seals the Cold Air Dam panels to the underside of the hood, preventing heat intrusion
• Stainless steel worm gear clamps and high-quality couplers included for secure, leak-free installation
• Street legal in all 50 US states, ensuring compliance with emissions regulations
• Lightweight design weighing approximately 11.2 lbs (5.1 kg) for minimal added weight

Construction & Design

The intake tube is crafted from high-density cross-linked polyethylene, a material chosen for its excellent heat resistance and structural integrity under engine bay conditions. This ensures the intake maintains its shape and performance over time, even under high temperatures. The Cold Air Dam panels are engineered to fit precisely in the factory air box location, utilizing existing ducting while adding additional cold air passages to maximize airflow.

The premium air filter features a non-woven synthetic media that is oil-free, washable, and reusable, offering superior filtration compared to traditional paper filters. The 360-degree conical design increases the filter’s surface area, reducing restriction and promoting better engine breathing. Stainless steel clamps and durable couplers provide a secure, long-lasting connection between components.

Performance & Sound

By delivering a steady flow of cooler, denser air, the AirAid Cold Air Intake System enhances combustion efficiency, resulting in noticeable gains in horsepower and torque. The system’s design reduces intake restriction, allowing the engine to breathe more freely and respond quicker to throttle inputs. Additionally, the open-element filter and intake tube design contribute to a more aggressive induction sound, enhancing the driving experience without excessive noise.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and requires only common hand tools, making it accessible for most enthusiasts and DIY mechanics. The system replaces the stock air box, air filter, and intake tubing without the need for modifications or cutting. The Cold Air Dam panels mount directly in the factory air box location and utilize existing cold air inlet ducts, ensuring a secure fit and maintaining factory-style integration.
