Cold Air Intake for Dodge Durango (2011-2016) 5.7L - Black

High-Flow Black Cold Air Intake for 2011-2016 Dodge Durango (5.7L HEMI / WD)

Designed specifically for the 5.7L HEMI V8, this cold air intake system replaces the restrictive stock air box and intake tract to drastically reduce intake air temperatures and improve overall volumetric efficiency.

The Stock Durango Airflow Restriction

The factory 2011-2016 Dodge Durango WD intake system utilizes heavily baffled plastic tubing and a closed, restrictive paper filter box. This OEM design prioritizes noise suppression over maximum engine performance, creating unwanted turbulence and restricting airflow to the 5.7L HEMI engine. Furthermore, the OEM plastic intake tract is highly susceptible to engine bay heat soak, particularly during heavy towing, load-bearing driving, or prolonged idling. This trapped heat results in consistently elevated intake air temperatures (IATs), causing sluggish throttle response as the ECU pulls timing to prevent detonation.

The Engineering Solution

This intake kit eliminates OEM bottlenecks by utilizing a precision mandrel-bent 2.75-inch outer diameter (OD) T-6063 aluminum intake pipe. The T-6063 aluminum construction offers superior structural rigidity and advanced heat dissipation properties compared to factory molded plastics. Finished in a durable black coating to reject ambient heat, the system integrates a high-flow dry air filter that dramatically increases airflow surface area while maintaining critical micron filtration. By streamlining the air path directly into the throttle body, this system decreases pressure drop, minimizes turbulence, and allows the HEMI V8 to breathe efficiently. The kit includes reinforced PVC couplers, heavy-duty clamps, requisite vacuum hoses, and universal mounting brackets for a secure, vibration-resistant installation under the hood.
