Part #: 54-12162

Overview

The aFe MAGNUM FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for your 2011–2013 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, or Chrysler 300 equipped with the 5.7L V8 engine. Engineered to enhance airflow and support increased horsepower and torque, this intake system is perfect for enthusiasts seeking improved engine response, a more aggressive sound, and a sleek appearance under the hood.

Built with ease of installation in mind, the system features a durable, one-piece 16-gauge powder-coated heat shield that requires no cutting or drilling, making it a straightforward upgrade for both DIY enthusiasts and professional installers. The heat shield effectively blocks engine bay heat, helping to maintain cooler intake temperatures and optimize performance.

Key Features

The aFe Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System incorporates several advanced features to maximize performance and durability:

• Uses a 360-degree Radial Flow Air Filter with 5-layer oiled cotton media, providing high airflow and filtration efficiency while being washable and reusable for long-term use.
• The precision-designed molded plastic intake tube maximizes airflow volume and velocity, contributing to improved throttle response and power gains.
• The heat shield is constructed from durable steel with a powder-coated finish or brushed aluminum, effectively blocking heat transfer from the engine bay to keep intake air cooler.
• Quiet operation is achieved through the design of the intake pathway, reducing intake noise while maintaining a sporty sound.
• All components are engineered for a perfect fit, ensuring a seamless installation without modifications.
• Designed to support the factory emissions system and maintain OEM-like reliability.

Filter Options

The included Radial Flow Air Filter features a high-flow, multi-layer oiled cotton media that balances filtration with maximum airflow.
