Cold Air Intake Kit for Dodge Challenger (2011-2023) with 3.6L V6 Engine Blue

The Pentastar V6 makes over 300 horsepower from the factory, but you’d never know it listening to the stock intake. It’s time to remove the factory mute button and give your Challenger the induction howl it deserves.

Performance Cold Air Intake for Dodge Challenger 3.6L (Pentastar V6)

We know the drill. You bought the SXT or GT because it’s a reliable daily driver with muscle car looks, but the pedal feel and sound just don't match the aggressive body lines. The culprit is the factory intake system. Dodge engineers designed the stock airbox and intake tube with heavy baffling and resonators specifically to silence the engine. While that’s great for a minivan, it’s terrible for a Challenger. It creates air turbulence and restricts the volume of oxygen reaching the throttle body.

This Cold Air Intake system deletes those restrictive plastic resonators and replaces them with 6061-T6 lightweight aluminum piping. Aluminum is rigid and smooth, preventing the "collapsing" effect that rubber hoses can suffer from under hard vacuum while ensuring airflow remains turbulent-free. By straightening out the induction path, we help the 3.6L Pentastar breathe easier. The result is a sharper throttle response—getting you off the line quicker—and a noticeable pull in the upper RPM range where the V6 naturally likes to rev.

But the biggest change is the sound. Without the factory baffles, the induction noise transforms into a deep, throaty growl when you step on the gas. It gives the car a much sportier character without the drone of an exhaust modification. Note: This kit uses a high-flow cone filter and does not include a heat shield, utilizing the natural airflow of the engine bay.

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Proven Gains: Engineered to boost horsepower and torque by up to 10% by maximizing air volume.
• Aggressive Induction Tone: Replaces sound-deadening stock baffles with metal piping for a deep, sporty engine note.
• Lifetime Filtration: Comes with a washable high-performance cone filter that only needs cleaning every 50,000 miles.
• Throttle Snap: Improved airflow efficiency reduces the delay between your foot hitting the pedal and the engine responding.
• Modular Design: Features a 3-piece aluminum pipe construction with black silicone couplers for a secure, durable fit.

Installation Notes

This system is designed for a straightforward installation using basic hand tools (screwdrivers, socket wrenches). The kit replaces your factory air box and tube. Important: As with any intake install, disconnect your battery terminal before starting and leave it disconnected for a few minutes after the install. This resets the ECU, forcing the computer to "re-learn" the fuel trims for the increased airflow immediately. Consult your dealer about warranty coverage for aftermarket parts.
