The aFe MagnumFORCE Stage-2 Pro 5R cold air intake (part 54-12162) replaces the factory airbox, intake tube, and paper filter on 5.7L HEMI V8 Dodge Challenger, Charger, and Chrysler 300C models. The manufacturer's dyno results show gains of up to +17 HP and +17 lb-ft of torque, along with a measured flow of 335 CFM at 1.5" H2O, which it says is roughly 40% more airflow than the stock intake. The Pro 5R element is a five-layer cotton gauze oiled filter that can be washed and reused, so it suits buyers who want a lasting upgrade rather than a disposable replacement.
The manufacturer lists this kit for 2011 through 2023 Challenger, Charger, and 300C applications, which covers 2011 through 2013 models. Challengers and Chargers equipped with the shaker hood are excluded, so check your hood before ordering. The intake is designed to use the factory mounting points and includes a stainless T-bolt clamp, a powder-coated 18-gauge heat shield, and a coupler. If you plan to add the aFe throttle body spacer (46-32007), the manufacturer says the intake tube must be cut along a marked line.
Searchers looking for a 2011-2013 Hemi cold air intake for a Challenger without shaker hood, a Pro 5R oiled cotton gauze filter, or a 5.7 intake for a Chrysler 300C will find this kit fits those needs. The manufacturer notes that some applications are 50-state exempt under specific CARB Executive Order numbers, so confirm your vehicle's emissions status before you buy.
No. The manufacturer states this system will not fit Challenger or Charger models equipped with the shaker hood.
The manufacturer says the aFe throttle body spacer (P/N 46-32007) will fit, but the intake tube must be cut on the marked cut line.
The manufacturer describes the Pro 5R as washable and reusable. Owners on user forums warn that too much filter oil can migrate onto the throttle body and intake sensors, so re-oil sparingly.
The manufacturer describes the installation as hassle-free because the kit uses the factory mounting locations, so you do not need to modify OEM mounts. Before you start, confirm your vehicle does not have the shaker hood. If you add the throttle body spacer, cut the intake tube on the marked line before fitting. Secure the coupler and tube with the included stainless T-bolt clamp, and keep the heat shield in place to protect the filter from engine heat. Specific tool lists, torque values, and install time were not confirmed on the manufacturer's pages, so follow the instructions packed with the kit.
