• Outflows the factory intake by 13%, with a measured flow rate of 650 CFM at 7" H2O
• Lightweight, high gloss clear-coated 100% plain weave carbon fiber housing and intake tube
• Incorporates the factory headlamp air inlet for optimal cold air capture
• No tuning required for installation and operation
• Includes both washable and reusable Pro DRY S and Pro 5R air filters for convenience and performance
• Unique one-piece sealed housing with a large clear sight window for easy filter inspection
• Built-in resonance chamber in the carbon fiber intake tube to reduce unwanted intake noise
• Premium stainless steel T-bolt clamps and reinforced silicone couplings for secure, durable installation
• Black Series serialized plate included to verify authenticity

Filter Options

This intake system includes two high-performance air filter media options to suit different preferences and maintenance routines:

• Pro 5R Filter: Features five layers of progressively finer oiled cotton gauze mesh for maximum airflow and filtration efficiency.
• Pro DRY S Filter: Utilizes three layers of oil-free, non-woven synthetic media for excellent filtration with easy maintenance and no oiling required.

Both filters are constructed with a durable 100% polyurethane frame designed for multiple cleaning cycles and long service life.

Construction & Design

The Momentum intake system is crafted from premium 100% plain weave carbon fiber, finished with a high gloss clear coat that provides both aesthetic appeal and resistance to heat and environmental factors. The one-piece sealed housing is computer-designed for a perfect fit and features a patent-pending filter-to-housing interface that simplifies installation and maintenance.

The intake tube is also made entirely of carbon fiber, eliminating fiberglass components to ensure maximum strength and weight savings. This tube incorporates a resonance chamber that helps to minimize undesirable intake noises, contributing to a refined engine sound experience.

Performance & Sound

Engineered for the Hellcat’s supercharged 6.2L V8, this intake system delivers measurable performance improvements verified on the dyno, including up to 37 additional horsepower and 33 lb-ft of torque. The enhanced airflow and cooler air intake contribute to improved throttle response and overall engine efficiency.

The carbon fiber intake tube’s resonance chamber reduces harsh intake noise while allowing a more aggressive and satisfying engine sound, enhancing the driving experience without excessive drone.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Momentum Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake is designed for a direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points and the existing headlamp air inlet on the driver’s side. Installation is straightforward and requires no tuning or modifications, allowing for a quick upgrade with minimal effort. The system’s fewer parts and premium hardware ensure a secure and durable fitment that maintains factory reliability.
