aFe Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake

2018–2023 Dodge Challenger 6.2L Hellcat & Demon

Part #: 57-10001D

Overview

The aFe Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System with Pro DRY S Filter is engineered specifically for the 2018–2023 Dodge Challenger 6.2L Hellcat and Demon models. Designed to replace the factory intake, this system enhances airflow and performance while maintaining a perfect fit and factory integration. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking reliable horsepower gains and improved throttle response, the intake system delivers a noticeable upgrade in power and efficiency without compromising daily drivability.

The included Pro DRY S air filter is washable and reusable, providing convenience and long-term value for street-driven vehicles.

Key Features

This carbon fiber cold air intake system offers a range of features designed to maximize performance and durability:

• Dyno-proven gains of up to +17 horsepower and +21 lb-ft torque (tested on 2018 Challenger SRT Demon)
• Outflows the factory intake by 20%, with a measured airflow of 855 CFM at 7” H2O
• Exclusive carbon fiber filter top tailored for Dodge Demon and Hellcat Redeye models
• Seals directly to the hood scoop to capture cool outside air and connects to the factory headlight air inlet
• Washable, reusable Pro DRY S air filter featuring oil-free synthetic media for easy maintenance
• Large 10” tall, 360-degree radial flow filter with three layers of synthetic media for superior filtration and dust holding capacity
• Heat-resistant open-element XLPE polymer housing minimizes intake air temperature
• Includes premium hardware such as T-bolt clamps and silicone bellows coupling for secure, direct-fit installation
• Factory Multi-Air Unit Actuator (MUA) connection for SRT 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, combining lightweight construction with exceptional strength and heat resistance. This premium material not only reduces weight compared to factory components but also enhances engine bay aesthetics with its sleek, glossy finish.

The air filter housing is made from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) polymer, chosen for its heat-resistant properties and durability. Its open-element design allows for easy inspection of the large air filter while effectively sealing to the factory hood scoop to draw in cooler ambient air. The system’s design ensures a perfect fit using factory mounting points and hardware, maintaining OEM-level quality and reliability.

Performance & Sound

Engineered for performance, this cold air intake system improves airflow by 20% over the stock intake, resulting in measurable horsepower and torque gains. The optimized airflow path and cooler intake air contribute to enhanced throttle response and overall engine efficiency. Additionally, the intake produces a subtle, aggressive induction sound that enhances the driving experience without excessive noise, making it suitable for street use.

Installation & Fitment

This aFe intake system is a direct bolt-on replacement designed specifically for the 2018 through 2023 Dodge Challenger 6.2L Hellcat and Demon models. Installation requires no permanent modifications and utilizes all factory mounting points and hardware included in the kit. The system also integrates seamlessly with the factory Multi-Air Unit Actuator on Hellcat Redeye models, ensuring proper crankcase ventilation and preventing diagnostic issues.
