aFe Track Series Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake

2018–2023 Dodge Challenger 6.2L Hellcat / Hellcat Redeye

Part #: 57-10001R

Overview

The aFe Track Series Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System with Pro 5R Filter is engineered specifically for the 2018 Dodge Challenger 6.2L Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye models. Designed to replace the restrictive factory intake, this system delivers significant performance improvements by increasing airflow and reducing intake air temperatures. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced horsepower, torque, and throttle response, the intake is a direct-fit upgrade that integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing components.

With a focus on track-ready performance and durability, this intake system combines advanced materials and precision engineering to maximize power gains while maintaining reliability for street and track use.

Key Features

This carbon fiber cold air intake system offers a range of features designed to optimize airflow and engine efficiency:

• Dyno-proven gains of up to +30 horsepower and +36 lb-ft of torque (tested on 2018 Challenger SRT Demon)
• Outflows the factory intake by 30%, with a measured airflow of 930 CFM at 7” H2O
• Exclusive carbon fiber filter top designed specifically for Dodge Demon and Hellcat Redeye models
• Intake housing seals directly to the factory hood scoop, capturing cool outside air and utilizing the headlight air inlet
• Washable and reusable Pro 5R air filter featuring five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze media for maximum filtration and airflow
• Large 10-inch tall, 360-degree radial flow air filter for superior air intake volume
• Heat-resistant open-element housing made from XLPE polymer to minimize intake air temperature
• Includes all premium hardware for a direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points
• Factory Multi-Air Unit Actuator (MUA) connection for Hellcat Redeye models to maintain proper crankcase ventilation and avoid check engine lights

Construction & Design

The intake tube is crafted from 100% high-gloss twill weave carbon fiber, providing a lightweight yet extremely durable structure that enhances engine bay aesthetics while maximizing power gains. The carbon fiber construction also helps reduce heat soak compared to traditional metal or plastic tubes.

The air filter housing is constructed from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a heat-resistant polymer that protects the intake air from engine heat. Its open-element design allows for easy inspection of the large Pro 5R filter and ensures a tight seal to the factory hood scoop, drawing in the coolest possible air for improved combustion efficiency.

Performance & Sound

By increasing airflow by 30% over the factory intake and delivering up to 930 CFM, this cold air intake system significantly improves throttle response and engine power output. The enhanced airflow contributes to a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque, making it an excellent upgrade for performance enthusiasts.

The intake also produces a more aggressive induction sound, enhancing the driving experience without being overly loud or intrusive, suitable for both street and track environments.

Installation & Fitment

This aFe Track Series intake system is designed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2018–2023 Dodge Challenger 6.2L Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye models. Installation requires no cutting or permanent modifications, utilizing factory mounting points and including all necessary hardware such as T-bolt clamps and silicone couplings.

For Hellcat Redeye models, the intake accommodates the factory Multi-Air Unit Actuator with included clamps and hoses to ensure proper crankcase ventilation and prevent diagnostic issues.

What's Included

• 100% high-gloss twill weave carbon fiber intake tube
• Large 10” tall Pro 5R washable and reusable air filter with carbon fiber top
• Heat-resistant XLPE polymer air filter housing
• Silicone bellows coupling and T-bolt clamps
• All necessary mounting hardware for direct fitment
• Clamps and hoses for Multi-Air Unit Actuator connection (Hellcat Redeye only)

Ideal For

This intake system is perfect for Dodge Challenger Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye owners who want to unlock additional horsepower and torque without sacrificing reliability or drivability. It suits enthusiasts who demand track-capable performance combined with street-friendly operation and those looking to enhance engine sound and throttle response.

Emissions Note

Some or all applications of this intake system are 50-state emissions exempt. Please refer to CARB EO# D-550-55 for detailed compliance information.
