aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake System

2011–2023 Dodge Challenger 5.7L Hemi V8

Part #: 50-70126D

Overview

The aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake System is a precision-engineered performance upgrade designed specifically for Dodge Challenger models equipped with the 5.7L Hemi V8 engine from 2011 through 2023. This intake system optimizes airflow and reduces intake air temperatures, resulting in improved throttle response, enhanced power delivery, and a more engaging driving experience. It is engineered to maintain compatibility with the factory Shaker hood air inlet and, for 2015 and newer models, the headlight air inlet, preserving the Challenger’s original styling and functionality.

Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable, street-friendly performance enhancement, the Momentum GT intake features a large, oil-free Pro DRY S air filter that is washable and reusable, combining convenience with long-term durability. Its design balances increased performance with ease of installation and everyday drivability, making it a perfect upgrade for daily-driven Challengers.

Key Features

This cold air intake system incorporates advanced engineering to maximize airflow and filtration efficiency, delivering measurable performance benefits:

• Patented filter-to-housing interface allowing the largest possible air filter for increased airflow
• 10-inch tall, 360-degree radial flow air filter with a 6 x 4-inch oval flange for maximum surface area
• Oil-free Pro DRY S filter media composed of three layers of synthetic material for superior filtration and dust holding capacity
• Inverted filter top design increases filter surface area, extending service intervals
• One-piece sealed housing made from heat-resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for durability and thermal insulation
• Clear sight window enables quick visual inspection of the air filter without disassembly
• Dyno-tuned intake tube crafted from heat-resistant XLPE for optimized airflow and precise fitment
• Stainless steel clamps and premium silicone coupler ensure secure, vibration-resistant installation
• Auxiliary air inlet compatible with the headlight air inlet on 2015+ models, with an optional Dynamic Air Scoop available to maximize cool air intake
• Minimal hardware and parts reduce installation time and complexity

Construction & Design

The Momentum GT Cold Air Intake System is built with premium materials engineered to withstand the demands of both daily driving and spirited performance use. The sealed housing is constructed from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a heat-resistant and durable plastic that insulates the intake air from engine heat, helping to maintain cooler air temperatures for improved combustion efficiency.

The intake tube is computer-designed and dyno-tuned to optimize airflow dynamics, enhancing engine breathing and power delivery. Stainless steel clamps paired with a reinforced silicone coupler provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection that maintains system integrity over time, ensuring reliable performance mile after mile.

Performance & Sound

By increasing the volume of cool, dense air delivered to the engine, the Momentum GT intake system improves combustion efficiency, resulting in enhanced throttle response and overall engine performance. For 2015 and newer models, the optional Dynamic Air Scoop accessory channels fresh air from the Challenger’s headlight air inlet, further reducing intake air temperatures and maximizing power output.

This intake system also produces a more aggressive induction sound, giving your Dodge Challenger a sportier engine note without excessive drone, making it well-suited for street use and daily driving.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake System is designed for a straightforward, bolt-on installation with minimal tools required. Its innovative filter-to-housing interface reduces the number of parts and simplifies assembly, allowing most users to complete installation in under an hour.

The system maintains compatibility with the factory Shaker hood air inlet and, on 2015 and newer models, the headlight air inlet, preserving the Challenger’s factory appearance and functionality. For 2015+ models, the auxiliary air inlet can be connected to the headlight air inlet using the optional Dynamic Air Scoop or sealed off with the provided plug, depending on your setup and performance goals.

What's Included
