If your factory airbox is restricting airflow with a narrow intake tube and a stock paper filter, this system replaces it with a larger aluminum tube and a shielded, high-flow filter designed to pull cooler air from outside the engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Challenger and Charger Share This Intake\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dodge Challenger and Charger are built on the same Chrysler LA platform and share the majority of their engine bay layout and powertrain options, including the 3.6L Pentastar V6 that both cars offer across most trim levels. That shared platform and engine is why a single cold air intake, sized to fit the same engine bay, covers both the two-door Challenger and four-door Charger instead of requiring separate parts for each body style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5-inch aluminum intake tube with a reinforced mounting bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded heat shield to block underhood heat from the filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-flow, washable, and reusable air filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-fit installation using factory mounting positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube diameter: 3.5 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: High-flow, washable\/reusable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Smooth aluminum intake tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Intake tube, heat shield, air filter, mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits the 2011-2023 Dodge Challenger and Charger with the 3.6L V6 Pentastar engine. Because both the Challenger and Charger were also offered with V8 engine options during this run, it's worth confirming your specific vehicle has the 3.6L V6 before ordering, since the V8-equipped models use a different intake system entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns Your Intake Is Restricting Airflow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA restrictive factory intake doesn't fail outright the way a mechanical part does; instead, owners tend to notice it as a factory airbox that traps heat around the filter, or simply a sense that throttle response feels duller than expected for a V6 this size. Because the change happens gradually and the factory system still technically works, most owners only notice the difference in throttle response and intake sound once they've driven the car with an open, shielded intake in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Owners Upgrade Their Intake\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main appeal of a larger-diameter, shielded cold air intake is pulling in cooler air from outside the immediate engine bay rather than air that's already been warmed by the engine and exhaust components nearby, since cooler, denser intake air supports more efficient combustion than air that's already picked up underhood heat. Owners who want a more direct throttle feel and a more noticeable intake sound under acceleration are the most common buyers of this kind of upgrade, and the washable, reusable filter also means lower long-term maintenance cost compared to replacing a paper filter element on a set schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling this intake means removing the factory airbox and intake tubing, mounting the new heat shield and filter assembly in its place using the factory mounting points, and reconnecting the factory sensors and hoses to the new tube. This is a bolt-on job that doesn't require cutting or permanent modification to the vehicle, and most owners can complete it with basic hand tools in well under an hour. Double-checking that the mass airflow sensor connector is fully seated before starting the engine is worth the extra minute it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cold air intake system is in stock and ships ready to install.
