The K&N NextGen Cold Air Intake system is a precision-engineered upgrade designed specifically for Dodge vehicles equipped with the 5.7L VVT HEMI engine, including the 2011 through 2023 Challenger, Charger, and 300 models. This intake system enhances your engine’s breathing capability by increasing airflow volume, resulting in noticeable gains in horsepower and torque without the need for additional tuning. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved throttle response, better engine sound, and reliable performance, the NextGen intake delivers a balanced combination of power, efficiency, and durability.
Built to optimize the factory air intake path, this system ensures cooler, denser air reaches your engine, which is essential for maximizing combustion efficiency. Whether you’re upgrading for street performance or spirited driving, the K&N NextGen Cold Air Intake offers a straightforward, effective solution to unlock your HEMI’s potential.
This cold air intake system incorporates advanced design elements and premium materials to deliver superior performance and longevity:
The intake tube is crafted from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using rotational molding technology, which produces a smooth, seamless surface that promotes laminar airflow and reduces turbulence. This material choice offers excellent heat resistance and durability, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding conditions. The custom-designed NextGen air box further protects the intake charge from the elevated temperatures of the engine bay, helping to maintain cooler, denser air for improved combustion.
The included air filter features oiled cotton gauze media, a hallmark of K&N’s filtration technology, which balances high airflow with effective particle capture. Its washable and reusable design not only reduces maintenance costs but also supports long-term performance without sacrificing filtration quality.
By increasing airflow volume by 16.7%, the K&N NextGen Cold Air Intake enhances engine breathing, resulting in a power increase of up to 23.5 horsepower and 18.39 lb-ft of torque. These gains translate to improved acceleration and throttle response, making your Dodge’s V8 feel more responsive and energetic. Additionally, the intake system produces a deeper, more aggressive induction sound that enhances the driving experience without excessive drone.
The K&N NextGen Cold Air Intake is designed for a direct bolt-on installation on 2011–2023 Dodge Challenger, Charger, and 300 models equipped with the 5.7L VVT HEMI engine. Installation typically takes less than 60 minutes and requires no special tuning or modifications. All necessary hardware and detailed instructions are included to facilitate a smooth, hassle-free upgrade process.
This cold air intake system is perfect for Dodge enthusiasts who want to enhance their 5.7L VVT HEMI-powered Challenger, Charger, or 300 with increased horsepower and torque, improved throttle response, and a more aggressive engine sound. It suits daily drivers, weekend warriors, and performance-minded owners looking for a reliable, long-lasting upgrade that requires no tuning and minimal maintenance.
K&N is one of the most recognized names in performance filtration, offering reusable high-flow air filters, cold air intakes, and related filters for street and motorsports use. Their products are designed to improve airflow and serviceability—ideal for enthusiasts who want performance-oriented filtration and easy maintenance.
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!
