With acceleration happening without any fuss and 5.2-second runs to 60 mph, this is no ordinary family sedan . Just when you thought we were at the end of the era of the big V8-powered American sedan, the Charger R\/T shows up as if to say, \"hey, we saved the best for last!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the engine is surprisingly well-mannered with subdued noise at idle, and full roar requires a floored gas pedal—audiophilic HEMI fans will either need to buy an aftermarket exhaust or intake . The factory intake system prioritizes silence and emissions compliance, muffling the legendary HEMI growl and restricting the airflow this engine craves. This high-performance cold air intake kit transforms your Charger by delivering unrestricted, high-volume airflow, unlocking sharper throttle response, improved power delivery, and that deep, throaty HEMI sound every muscle car enthusiast demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnderstanding the Modern HEMI's Potential\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5.7L HEMI uses Fuel Saver Technology (Multi-Displacement System) to drop into four-cylinder mode under light-throttle conditions , helping achieve surprisingly good fuel economy for a V8 muscle sedan. When the Charger was redesigned for the 2011 model year, the 5.7L HEMI remained essentially carry-over from 2009 when it received variable valve timing —proven technology that prioritizes reliability and real-world performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5.7-liter V8 HEMI engine makes 368-370 horsepower (depending on model year) and 395 lb-ft of torque for the 345 cubic-inch engine . With proper tuning, ECU flashes can gain up to 20 horsepower and 20+ lb-ft of torque, bringing tuned power to 388 HP and 415 lb-ft . This cold air intake is the essential first step before exploring more aggressive modifications—establishing the foundation for proper breathing that supports everything from mild bolt-ons to serious power builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximized HEMI Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unrestricted airflow helps unlock your engine's full 370 HP \/ 395 lb-ft potential by eliminating factory breathing restrictions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChrome Intake Piping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium polished chrome construction provides smooth, efficient airflow while adding show-quality appearance to your engine bay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature Red High-Flow Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eye-catching red performance filter delivers superior filtration with maximum breathing capacity—washable and reusable for life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Heat Shield:\u003c\/strong\u003e Durable protective shield blocks radiant engine bay heat to ensure your HEMI receives cool, dense, oxygen-rich air for optimal combustion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Throttle Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduced intake restriction delivers more immediate power when you step on the accelerator—eliminating the \"mellow\" character of the stock setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue HEMI Sound:\u003c\/strong\u003e Experience the deep, throaty intake growl under acceleration that defines American muscle—no longer muffled by the restrictive factory air box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Fuel Efficiency Potential:\u003c\/strong\u003e More efficient combustion complements the MDS (Multi-Displacement System) for better real-world fuel economy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Bolt-On Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complete kit with all necessary hardware installs in under one hour with basic hand tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty-Safe Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to upgrade your vehicle without voiding factory warranties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Benefits for the Muscle Car Enthusiast\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaster Acceleration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Help your Charger achieve closer to its 5.2-second 0-60 mph potential with improved breathing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBetter Power Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoother, more linear power across the RPM range—especially noticeable in the torque-rich 3,000-5,000 RPM range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Sound Character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transform the surprisingly well-mannered engine into something that sounds like true American muscle .\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved MDS Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Better airflow can help the Multi-Displacement System operate more efficiently, improving fuel economy during cruising.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation for Tuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Essential supporting modification for ECU tuning that can gain 20+ HP and torque .\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Day Ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consistent performance during extended high-load sessions without power drop from heat-soaked air.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShow-Quality Appearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome piping and red filter transform your engine bay into a conversation starter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✅ Compatible Models (LD Platform - Seventh Generation):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2011–2019 Dodge Charger R\/T:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.7L HEMI V8 (370 HP \/ 395 lb-ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits all R\/T trim levels including R\/T Plus, R\/T Road \u0026amp;
