The AEM Brute Force Air Intake System is engineered to enhance the performance of high-displacement Dodge HEMI engines by replacing the factory air filter and intake housing with a more efficient, less restrictive design. Specifically developed for the 2008–2017 Dodge Challenger and Charger R/T 5.7L models, as well as the 2008–2010 Charger SRT8 6.1L HEMI, this intake system delivers noticeable gains in horsepower and torque. Enthusiasts seeking improved throttle response and engine efficiency will appreciate the precision tuning and dyno-tested performance of this system.
By optimizing airflow and reducing intake air temperatures, the Brute Force Air Intake System helps your engine breathe easier, resulting in enhanced combustion and overall power output. Its design integrates seamlessly with factory emissions controls, ensuring reliable operation without compromising compliance.
This air intake system combines advanced engineering and quality materials to provide a superior upgrade over stock components. Key features include:
The intake tubing is crafted from mandrel-bent aluminum, ensuring smooth airflow with minimal turbulence and maximum durability. Its gunmetal gray powder-coated finish not only provides corrosion resistance but also adds a sleek, aggressive look under the hood. The cylinder-shaped AEM Dryflow air filter utilizes oil-free synthetic media, which eliminates the need for messy oiling and simplifies maintenance. This filter design offers excellent filtration efficiency while maintaining high airflow rates, contributing to improved engine performance and longevity.
Careful engineering ensures that the system integrates flawlessly with the vehicle’s existing emissions control components, including the intake air temperature sensor and crankcase breather hose, preserving factory functionality and compliance.
The Brute Force Air Intake System enhances engine breathing by reducing intake restrictions and lowering air temperatures, which can translate into measurable horsepower and torque gains. Drivers will notice improved throttle response and a more aggressive induction sound that complements the muscular character of the Dodge HEMI engines without being overly loud or intrusive.
Designed as a direct-fit upgrade, this intake system installs easily using factory mounting points and hardware with no cutting or modifications required. The kit is tailored specifically for the 2008–2017 Dodge Challenger and Charger R/T 5.7L and the 2008–2010 Charger SRT8 6.1L HEMI, ensuring a precise fit and straightforward installation process that can typically be completed with basic hand tools.
This air intake system is ideal for Dodge Challenger and Charger enthusiasts who want to unlock additional power and torque from their 5.7L or 6.1L HEMI engines without sacrificing reliability or emissions compliance. It suits daily drivers, weekend cruisers, and performance-minded owners seeking a balance of enhanced performance, improved sound, and ease of maintenance.
Some AEM Brute Force Air Intake Systems are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards. Others are 50-state legal. Please verify the legal status for your specific vehicle application before purchase by reviewing the 21-8223DC vehicle applications and local regulations.
AEM Induction focuses on airflow upgrades like cold air intake systems and performance filters engineered to reduce restriction and improve engine breathing. Their vehicle-specific approach emphasizes improved airflow and real-world drivability gains for street performance builds and weekend track cars.
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
