Cold Air Intake for Dodge Stratus (1995-1998) 2.5L

High-Flow Polished Cold Air Intake for 1995-1998 Dodge Stratus (JA)

What it Does: The Cold Air Intake Kit replaces the restrictive factory airbox and corrugated rubber inlet on the 1995-1998 Dodge Stratus to streamline intake tract velocity and improve throttle response.

The Stock Dodge Stratus Intake Restriction

From the factory, the Dodge Stratus JA platform utilizes an accordion-style rubber duct coupled to an enclosed resonator box designed solely for acoustic attenuation rather than volumetric efficiency. Under engine load, radiant heat soak within the cramped transverse bay degrades intake charge density. Furthermore, the sharp internal transition radii and ribbed duct walls induce boundary layer turbulence, restricting mass airflow into the Mitsubishi-engineered 6G73 2.5L V6 throttle body at mid-to-high RPM.

The Engineering Solution

This intake conversion eliminates airflow bottlenecks by utilizing a mandrel-bent, lightweight T-304 aluminum intake pipe with a heat-reflective polished finish. The smooth internal bore maintains laminar airflow, significantly dropping pressure loss across the induction tract. Outfitted with a washable, reusable dry cone air filter, this unit delivers increased surface filtration area without relying on filter oils that could contaminate downstream sensors, resulting in sharper low-to-mid range throttle response and an aggressive induction acoustic profile.

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the JA Stratus?

Yes, this is a direct fit for the 1995-1998 Dodge Stratus equipped with the 2.5L 6G73 V6 engine. This kit does not fit 2.0L SOHC or 2.4L DOHC inline-4 models.

Does this intake installation require an ECU retune?

No, this intake functions reliably with the factory engine management calibration, allowing the OEM ECU to trim fuel curves automatically based on standard sensor feedback.

The Dodge Caliber

Optimized for the high-revving 24-valve 6G73 architecture, this intake delivers uncompromised airflow and durable heat rejection to maintain consistent performance and deep V6 induction acoustics.
