Cold Air Intake Kit for Dodge Charger (2011-2020) with 3.6L V6 Engine Black Shielded

The Pentastar V6 is a capable engine, but let's be honest: from the factory, it sounds too much like a rental fleet cruiser and not enough like a muscle car. The stock intake system is designed to silence the engine, not feed it. This GTE intake system deletes that restrictive plumbing so your Charger can finally breathe, giving you the induction noise and throttle response this chassis deserves.

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

If you've popped the hood of your 3.6L Charger, you've seen the problem. The OEM air intake is a maze of corrugated plastic, silencers, and baffles. It creates turbulence and restricts air volume to keep the car quiet for the average commuter. But you aren't the average commuter. You want to feel the car pull and hear the engine work. This GTE Cold Air Intake replaces that entire factory assembly with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube and a high-flow conical filter.

The difference in driving dynamics is immediate. By straightening the airflow path and removing the accordion-style stock tubing, we reduce the drag on the intake charge. This translates to sharper throttle response—getting you off the line quicker—and a noticeable bump in mid-range torque. The included heat shield isolates the filter from the hot engine bay, ensuring the 3.6L Pentastar is gulping down cooler, denser air rather than recycling heat soak from the headers.

But let's talk about the sound. The 3.6L actually has a surprisingly aggressive growl hidden under the sound-deadening factory equipment. When you install this kit, you unlock a deep, throaty induction roar under heavy acceleration that completely changes the character of the car. It stays civilized at cruise but wakes up the moment you drop the hammer. It’s the most effective bolt-on modification you can do to separate your Charger from the rest of traffic.

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Delete the Restriction: Replaces the turbulent, corrugated factory plastic tube with smooth aluminum piping for laminar airflow.
• Real Induction Noise: Removes the factory sound baffles to reveal a deep, sporty intake growl that stock V6 owners miss out on.
• Cooler Intake Temps: Includes a dedicated heat shield that seals against the inner fender to block engine bay heat.
• Lifetime Maintenance: The high-flow red cone filter is washable and reusable, saving you money on disposable paper filters over the life of the car.
• Bolt-On Power: Engineered to maximize airflow through the stock manifold, improving acceleration and throttle inputs without requiring a tune.

Installation Notes

This is a straightforward bolt-on installation that requires no cutting or drilling. You can complete the job in under an hour with basic hand tools (screwdriver, socket set, wrenches). The kit comes with all necessary hardware, including silicone couplers, hose clamps, and the breather hose.

Regulatory Note: This air intake is not legal for use in California or other states that have adopted California emission standards (CARB). It is intended for off-road or race use in those jurisdictions.
