EVIL ENERGY Cold Air Intake for 2011-2020 Dodge Charger/Challenger & 2012-2020 Chrysler 300 5.7L — Black with Heat Shield & Washab

EVIL ENERGY's cold air intake is a bolt-on performance upgrade that supplies cooler, cleaner air to the 5.7L HEMI engines in selected Dodge Charger, Challenger and Chrysler 300 models, and includes a heat shield plus a washable pre-filter.

This intake system is built to replace the restrictive factory air path with a smooth-aluminum tube, a multi-layer synthetic filter and a steel heat shield designed to reduce under-hood heat soak. The design aims to improve throttle response and produce a fuller engine tone under acceleration while remaining refined at cruising speeds. Installation is intended to be straightforward for a DIY enthusiast using basic hand tools, and the washable filter reduces long-term maintenance costs.

How will this intake affect everyday driving and highway cruising?

On everyday drives and highway runs the intake is tuned to deliver steady airflow without introducing unwanted noise or drone at cruising speeds. You'll notice crisper throttle response and a more confident feel when accelerating, while long-distance comfort is preserved.

• Smoother acceleration response from less restrictive airflow
• Reduced intake restriction during highway and load conditions
• Maintains quiet cruising with more aggressive sound only on throttle
• Washable filter lowers replacement frequency and cost

What parts are included and how does the heat shield help performance?

The kit ships with a precision-formed aluminum intake tube, a steel heat shield, a high-efficiency synthetic non-woven filter with a removable pre-filter, and necessary mounting hardware. The heat shield creates a barrier between the intake opening and hot engine components so the engine inhales cooler ambient air, which is denser and can improve combustion efficiency compared with hot under-hood air.

• Aluminum tube with smooth internal walls for laminar airflow
• Steel heat shield to reduce radiant heat transfer
• Multi-layer synthetic filter with pre-filter for dusty conditions
• All required clamps, brackets and fittings for a single-kit install

Is installation difficult and how long will it take?

EVIL ENERGY designed the system for do-it-yourself installation using common hand tools. Many owners report completing the swap in about 40 minutes; time varies with experience and vehicle configuration. The kit includes the mounting hardware and instructions to guide the process.

• Estimated install time: approximately 40 minutes with basic tools
• No special shop equipment required for most installations
• Direct-fit components for listed 5.7L model years to minimize trimming
• Clearances and bracket locations engineered for stock engine bays

What maintenance does the reusable filter need and how effective is filtration?

• Washable synthetic filter — clean and re-oil (if recommended) per maintenance intervals
• Pre-filter captures larger particles to lengthen main filter life
• High filtration efficiency (over 98%) while preserving airflow
• Reduced long-term cost compared with disposable paper filters

Who is this for? If you own a 2011–2020 Dodge Charger (5.7L), 2012–2020 Dodge Challenger (5.7L), or a 2012–2020 Chrysler 300 (5.7L) and you want a durable, OEM-friendly upgrade that sharpens throttle response, enhances intake sound under acceleration, and reduces recurring filter costs, this EVIL ENERGY cold air intake is a practical choice. It suits DIY installers who prefer a direct-fit kit with a heat shield and a washable filter, and drivers seeking a balance between daily comfort and increased engine character.
