The K&N 30-2553TTK is a full replacement intake for the supercharged 6.2L V8 in the Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcat, covering 2017 through 2023 model years. It removes the factory air box and intake housing rather than bolting onto them, and it pairs a black aluminum intake pipe with a reusable, dry non-woven synthetic filter that needs no oil. Hellcat owners searching for a SC 6.2L cold air intake or a DRYFLOW Hellcat intake should confirm trim-level coverage, such as Redeye, Widebody, or Jailbreak, with the manufacturer before ordering.
Compared with stock, the design aims to dramatically reduce intake restriction as it smooths and straightens air flow, and the manufacturer guarantees an increase in horsepower and torque. Its listed estimate is 19.99 HP at 4219 RPM. A dry element also avoids the oil-film concern that oiled filters raise for the mass airflow sensor, and the filter is designed to be cleaned rather than replaced, only requiring cleaning every 50,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions. The manufacturer's No-Hassle Lifetime Limited Warranty adds long-term value over cheaper universal kits.
The manufacturer lists a typical installation can be completed in 60 minutes or less with simple hand tools, and an Installation Instruction Sheet is available for the kit. Disconnect the battery before starting, and keep the stock parts until the new system is confirmed to fit. Buyers in California should note the manufacturer's restriction: not legal for sale or use in California on any pollution controlled motor vehicle.

This is a bolt-on replacement, so the job centers on removing the factory air box and tube, reconnecting the sensors, and securing the new heat shield and tube to the throttle body. The manufacturer puts a typical install at about an hour with basic hand tools, and the instruction sheet is the reference to follow. Common gotchas include keeping the factory hardware on hand, tightening the couplers and clamps fully to avoid boost leaks, and checking the intake tube clearance against the hood and fender. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting, and let the engine cool if it has recently run.
