When 699HP Just Isn’t Enough

Need a little extra boost? The 2015-2016 Challenger Hellcat SRT aFe Cold Air Intake adds an extra 37 horses, thanks to an abundance of power. The one-piece sealed housing gets rid of the dreaded ÔÇ£middle manÔÇØ in many air intake systems that damper ultra-cold air. This aFe cold air intake exceeds factory specifications and output by more than 10% and best of all, no tuning is necessary. Just install and you’re good to go! In terms of pure HP gains and ease of installation, this aFe Hellcat intake is simply one of the best under-the-hood accessories for the Dodge Challenger, bar none.

Excellent Value, Easier-Than-You-Think Installation

New air intake installs can be a hassle, especially if you have to mess around with OEM components. But the Magnum FORCE Pro DRY S Stage-2 Intake System avoids the headaches from the get-go. This Hellcat intake system has a robust 7ÔÇØ flange air filter to ensure optimum intake. What’s more, a strategically placed one-piece heat shield keeps your Challenger’s engine heat away from the cold air intake process. The simple yet effective design on this Hellcat intake effectively separates different aspects of your engine, allowing everything to perform optimally – much better than stock performance metrics. The result? Better performance, superior HPs and impressive torque gains. When our customers demand exceptional value and instant performance upgrades, they go with Magnum FORCE Hellcat intakes. And it’s easy to see why – grab one today and hit the ground running!

+39 HP, Reduced Installation Time

Very similar to the Mangum FORCE Pro Dry S intake, the Magnum FORCE Pro 5R Stage-2 Intake System includes a pre-filter with a washable and reusable air filter. No other Hellcat air intake offers the repeat performance characteristics as the Pro 5R Stage-2. Plus, a Roto-mold tube is custom manufactured for effortless, fail-proof installation. Installation time for this superior Hellcat intake takes less than an hour. And the extra 39 horses are certainly nice!

Less Throttle Response Time, More Raw Power – All at a Great Price!

One of our most popular cold air intake configurations, is the 2008-2015 Dodge Challenger aFe Power Sprint Booster features flexible model installation integration (eight different Challenger vintages, from ’08-’15) and 3-position convenience. If you’re looking to modify your Challenger with the most bang for your buck, it’s hard to beat the aFe Power Sprint Booster. With this Hellcat intake, you’ll enjoy the quality and exceptional performance you’ve come to expect with aFe, all at a great price. Going above and beyond stock performance is one thing, but it’s even more impressive with the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, simply because the car is known for fearsome, full-throttle specs, right off the factory floor. Yet this Dodge Challenger Hellcat aFe cold air intake pulls off a complex upgrade with ultra-easy installation. Yet another outstanding Hellcat intake from aFe!

No to Additional Tuning, Yes to Extra Power

You’ll enjoy all the pulse-pounding power of a Hellcat air intake with the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat V8-6.2L (sc) HEMI Momentum GT Intake System, and you’ll also love the accessible design – a nifty sight window lets you inspect the filter status without disassembly. If factory Challenger performance leaves you wanting more, turn up the volume (and velocity) with the Momentum intake upgrade – it’ll boost torque up to 33 ft.-lbs., courtesy of a pair of 9ÔÇØ air filters and industry-leading hardware components.
