Key Features

Designed with precision and performance in mind, the aFe Cold Air Intake offers the following standout features:

• Dyno-tested to provide up to +17 horsepower and +17 lb-ft of torque over the factory intake
• Flows 40% more air than the stock intake system for enhanced engine breathing
• Large-diameter roto-molded intake tube engineered via advanced computer modeling for smooth, unrestricted airflow
• Includes a powder-coated 18-gauge steel heat shield to reduce intake air temperatures by blocking engine heat
• Durable silicone throttle body adapter ensures a flexible, leak-free seal
• Stainless steel T-bolt clamps provide secure, vibration-resistant connections
• Direct bolt-on design requires no cutting, drilling, or modifications to factory mounting points

Filter Options

The aFe Cold Air Intake system is available with two high-quality filter options to suit different driving preferences and maintenance routines:

• Pro 5R Filter (Oiled): Features five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze for maximum airflow and 98.6% filtration efficiency. This washable and reusable filter is ideal for street and track applications where peak performance is desired.
• Pro DRY S Filter (Dry): Utilizes three layers of synthetic, oil-free media offering 99.2% filtration efficiency. This low-maintenance filter is perfect for street and light off-road use, requiring no oiling during cleaning.

Construction & Design

The aFe Cold Air Intake is crafted from premium materials to ensure durability and optimal performance. The roto-molded intake tube is engineered for maximum airflow with a smooth interior surface that minimizes turbulence and promotes efficient combustion. The heat shield is constructed from heavy-duty 18-gauge steel with a powder-coated finish to resist corrosion and effectively isolate intake air from engine heat.

All connections utilize high-quality silicone couplers and stainless steel T-bolt clamps, providing a secure, vibration-resistant seal that maintains integrity under demanding conditions. The system’s design allows for a straightforward installation that aligns perfectly with factory mounting points, preserving the vehicle’s original structure and appearance.

Performance & Sound

By increasing airflow and reducing intake restrictions, the aFe Cold Air Intake enhances engine responsiveness and power output. The system’s design contributes to a noticeable improvement in throttle response and acceleration. Additionally, the intake produces a deeper, more aggressive induction sound that enhances the driving experience without excessive noise.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Cold Air Intake is engineered for a hassle-free, bolt-on installation that requires no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications. All necessary hardware and components are included, allowing for a straightforward upgrade that can be completed with basic hand tools. The system fits directly onto factory mounting points, ensuring a secure and precise fit for the 2011–2024 Chrysler 300C, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger equipped with the 5.7L Hemi engine.
