AEM Dodge Challenger / Charger 5.7L / 6.1L Gunmetal Intake

$ 420.00 $ 399.99

Product Overview

AEM Induction 21-8223DC is a cold-air intake for the specified Dodge Challenger and Charger HEMI V8 applications. Gunmetal powder-coated aluminum tubing and an oil-free Dryflow filter replace the restrictive factory airbox arrangement. AEM reports an estimated gain of 24 HP @ 5400 RPM for its documented test configuration. Results are not guaranteed on every vehicle.

Key Features

  • Washable synthetic filter media without filter oil.
  • Two-piece routing places the filter behind the front bumper; observe the manual’s weather-use restriction.
  • Retains the original IAT sensor and the factory connections specified by the exact instructions.

Fitment

Years Vehicle Engine / application
2008–2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 6.1L V8
2009–2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 6.1L V8
2009–2015 manufacturer article Challenger / Charger R/T 5.7L V8; linked manual lists through 2014
2016–2017 saved entries Challenger / Charger Exact current-primary confirmation, including Shaker/T/A configurations, remains open

The exact manual requires mild-weather use and restoration of the stock OEM airbox/intake tract in harsh or inclement weather. Retain the original parts. The manufacturer's 2015 article extends its older manual’s 5.7L coverage through 2015; later saved years and special inlet configurations remain subject to exact confirmation. The old Charger SE group is withheld because the exact kit is V8-specific and OEM SE specifications identify V6 engines; no market-specific V8 SE approval is inferred. No 6.4L or supercharged Hellcat application is implied. The procedure calls for two small breather clamps but the illustrated BOM lists only the five large clamps; extra small clamps are not promised as verified contents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 21-8223DC?

The vehicle-specific intake described above; it is a complete intake configuration, not just a replacement filter.

Which applications are supported?

the specified Dodge Challenger and Charger HEMI V8 applications; review the fitment notes before ordering.

Is the finish polished?

Gunmetal powder-coated aluminum.

What replacement filter is listed?

21-2147DK Dryflow; verify the actual filter/kit revision before replacing it.

Are new vehicle sensors included?

No. Transfer the original IAT sensor and use the one extension harness matching its connector.

Are the power gains guaranteed?

No. AEM’s published figures apply to its documented test configuration.

Does Dryflow require oil?

No. Follow the filter-specific cleaning procedure and inspect more frequently in dust.

What emissions conditions apply?

The manual cites D-670-6 for particular earlier applications and carries a specific-vehicle restriction. The later manufacturer article describes its listed applications as 50-state legal; verify the matching current order row rather than extending that statement to all later saved configurations.

Installation Instructions

  1. Read the exact instructions, cool the engine and observe the battery-disconnection precautions.
  2. Use correctly rated jack stands for underbody work. Remove and refit the belly pan as directed; the illustrated 2011–2013 Charger procedure includes specific deflector trimming. Seat the hump coupler fully in its sheet-metal groove and provide even clearance around the lower pipe/filter. Transfer the original IAT sensor and select one of the two extension harnesses. Follow the engine-specific breather-hose arrangement; some 5.7L engines use the retained hose plus a cut section and adapter.
  3. Align the assembly and verify fasteners, sensor connections and hood clearance; perform the prescribed final inspection before driving.
