Air Intake for Dodge Challenger RT & SRT-8 (2009-2018) Hemi 5.7L / 6.1L V8 Engines

Maximize the Airflow Potential of Your Dodge Challenger Hemi V8

Who It’s For: This intake system is built for the Mopar enthusiast driving the 2009-2018 Dodge Challenger equipped with the legendary Hemi V8 engine family. Whether you are piloting the 5.7L Eagle Hemi or the high-revving 6.1L SRT-8, this is for the driver who wants to hear the engine breathe and feel a crisper response when the light turns green.

The Problem: The factory air box in the Hemi V8 is designed with one goal: silence. To achieve this, engineers use restrictive baffles, corrugated plastic tubing, and thick paper filters that create massive air turbulence. This setup causes the Hemi V8 to work harder to pull air, leading to sluggish throttle response and a muted exhaust note that doesn’t do the Challenger justice.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to provide a high-velocity, low-restriction path directly to your throttle body. By replacing the baffled factory unit with a high-flow system, we correct the air-starvation issues inherent in the stock design. This allows your Hemi V8 to reach its volumetric efficiency faster, resulting in a deeper intake growl and improved acceleration across the power band.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Induction Sound: Removes the factory silencers to provide a throaty, aggressive tone under heavy acceleration that every Hemi V8 deserves.
• Improved Thermal Efficiency: Designed to move a higher volume of air compared to the restrictive stock paper element, helping to mitigate the heat soak common in large displacement V8 engine bays.
• Straightforward Installation: This is a true bolt-on kit. For 5.7L owners, it’s a direct swap. For 6.1L SRT-8 owners, a simple removal of the upper fan shroud ensures a perfect fit.
