aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake System
2011–2023 Dodge Challenger V8-5.7L
50-70126D
Overview:
The aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake System is engineered specifically for Dodge Challenger models from 2011 through 2023 equipped with the 5.7L V8 engine. Designed to optimize airflow and reduce intake air temperatures, this intake system enhances engine efficiency and performance while maintaining the factory Shaker hood air inlet and, on 2015 and newer models, the headlight air inlet. Featuring a patented filter-to-housing interface and a large, oil-free Pro DRY S air filter, this system delivers improved throttle response and power gains with minimal installation effort.
Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable, street-friendly upgrade, the Momentum GT intake balances performance with convenience through its washable and reusable filter media and durable construction.
Key Features:
This cold air intake system incorporates advanced design elements to maximize airflow and filtration efficiency:
- Innovative 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
- Oil-free Pro DRY S filter media with three layers of synthetic material for superior filtration and dust holding capacity
- Inverted filter top design increases filter surface area for longer service intervals
- One-piece sealed housing made from heat-resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for durability and thermal insulation
- Clear sight window enables quick filter inspection without disassembly
- High-quality, dyno-tuned intake tube crafted from heat-resistant XLPE for optimal airflow and fitment
- Stainless steel clamps and premium silicone coupler ensure secure, long-lasting installation
- Auxiliary air inlet compatible with the headlight air inlet on 2015+ models, with 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 rigors of daily driving and high-performance use. The sealed housing is constructed from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a heat-resistant and durable plastic that helps lower intake air temperatures by insulating the air charge from engine heat. This material choice ensures consistent performance even under demanding conditions.
The intake tube is computer-designed and dyno-tuned to optimize airflow dynamics, contributing to improved engine breathing and power delivery. Stainless steel clamps and a reinforced silicone coupler provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection that maintains system integrity over time.
Performance & Sound
By increasing the volume of cool, dense air delivered to the engine, the Momentum GT intake system enhances combustion efficiency, which can lead to noticeable improvements in throttle response and overall engine performance. The optional Dynamic Air Scoop accessory (sold separately) further boosts airflow by channeling fresh air from the Challenger’s headlight air inlet (2015+ models), helping to reduce intake air temperatures and maximize 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.
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 is engineered to maintain 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:
- One-piece sealed air intake housing with clear sight window
- 10-inch tall Pro DRY S air filter (oil-free, washable, and reusable)
