aFe 51-12162-C is the Track Series Stage-2 carbon fiber intake for qualified naturally aspirated 5.7L HEMI Challenger, Charger and Chrysler 300 applications. One dry filter and aluminum heat shield accompany the carbon tube. The exact manual distinguishes the retained original crankcase hose on 2011-2019 vehicles from the supplied hose and engine-side Mini clamp for 2020 and later. It also calls for threadlocker on the two tube-to-housing screws. Shaker hoods and the specified aFe throttle-body spacer are excluded.
Exact current primary and manual specify naturally aspirated 5.7L HEMI Challenger, Charger and Chrysler 300 2011-2023, subject to actual model/trim engine availability. Match the 2011-2019 versus 2020+ crankcase-hose arrangement. Current manufacturer expressly excludes Shaker hoods and throttle-body spacer 46-32007. Exact-part retailers list R/T Shaker and R/T Plus Shaker positively, creating a source conflict; those rows are withheld pending exact clearance resolution. Existing qualified non-Shaker named groups remain below, with five supported year-range corrections. The 2018 Chrysler 300 Limited retailer positive remains held until its exact 5.7L engine/housing application is established; no new Limited row is inferred. Existing unusual SE and other retailer positives remain conditional on actual 5.7L configuration and market, not a blanket all-engine approval. No 6.4L Scat Pack or T/A 392 application is inferred from mixed retailer engine lists.

Only one selected dry filter is supplied. The two filter types pictured are alternatives. This exact manual has one lock washer, rather than the three in the related 6.4L kit, and explicitly adds threadlocker, a later-model hose and Mini clamp. The duplicate threadlocker/hose service number and leading letter on one clamp are reproduced as document conflicts, not corrected by guesswork. No new temperature sensor, MAF, engine cover, original housing grommet/sleeve or original airbox bolt is billed. The 8 mm and 10 mm removal references describe tool context; supplied hex bolts are M6x1x12.
aFe Power develops application-specific intake, filtration, exhaust, cooling, tuning, suspension, drivetrain, and truck-performance components supported by product testing and documented installation requirements.
One dry filter, carbon tube, aluminum shield, reducer, two T-bolt clamps, isolation mount/pad, three bolts and flat washers, one lock washer, three trim pieces, threadlocker, later hose and Mini clamp.
What changes for 2020 and later vehicles?Remove the original crankcase hose completely, then use the supplied 10.5-inch hose and engine-side Mini clamp. For 2011-2019 reconnect the original hose.
Does it fit a Shaker hood or the aFe spacer?The manufacturer expressly excludes Shaker hoods and spacer 46-32007. Exact retailer Shaker positives remain unresolved and are withheld.
How are the tube screws retained?Use the remaining two M6 bolts and flat washers after securing the shield, and apply a little furnished threadlocker before installation. The single lock washer belongs at the isolation-mount attachment.
Which sensor and mounting pieces transfer?Transfer the intake-temperature sensor into the tube aluminum fitting. Reuse original housing grommet, metal sleeve and airbox bolt. Restore the engine cover.
Which filter height and hose part number should I order?Confirm the boxed revision: current primary says 8-inch filter but its billed service filter says 7-inch; the manual duplicates one service number for hose and threadlocker.
Does the dyno or EO certify every listed year?No. The actual dyno identifies the related oiled kit, while EO selected-part scope and 2020 test-group exclusions are narrower than mechanical fitment.
What battery, torque and recheck instructions apply?Disconnect negative battery before work. No numeric torque is given; retighten all connections after approximately 100-200 miles.
Verify aFe 51-12162-C. Read the full twelve-page manual and match engine, hood, spacer, hose configuration and emissions scope. On a cool engine disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove the engine cover, retain the original airbox bolt identified by the 8 mm tool step, loosen the throttle-body clamp and unplug the temperature connector. For 2011-2019 disconnect the original crankcase hose from the intake tube; for 2020+ remove that hose completely. Remove the old intake. Remove the fender-side bolt identified by the 10 mm tool step; it is not reused. Fit the isolation mount, transfer the original housing grommet and metal sleeve, install the three trim lengths and position the isolation pad beneath the housing. Secure housing to isolation mount with one supplied bolt, the single lock washer and a flat washer, then reuse the original airbox bolt. Fit reducer and clamps onto the throttle body in the illustrated orientation; tighten the smaller clamp only first. Transfer the temperature sensor into the aluminum tube fitting, insert tube into reducer and secure tube to housing with the remaining two bolts and flat washers. Apply a little supplied threadlocker to those screw threads before fitting. Tighten the larger coupling clamp and reconnect the sensor harness. Reconnect the original hose on 2011-2019; on 2020+ install the supplied hose and secure its engine end with the Mini clamp. Fit the selected dry filter and tighten its clamp. Restore the engine cover. No numeric torque is given; retighten connections after approximately 100-200 miles. EO sticker placement does not expand the exemption.
The current primary overview calls the filter 8 inches tall, while the same page lists the exact billed replacement filter at 7 inches. Match the boxed revision before ordering a service filter. Its dry headline advertises 550 CFM and 32% more flow, but the actual linked chart shows dry 540 CFM, oiled 555 CFM and stock 445 CFM at 7 inches H2O, approximately 21.35% more for the dry series. These revision/document conflicts remain qualified. The linked dyno explicitly tests the related oiled intake, not the selected dry medium. Marked points differ by 23.32 HP and 23.59 lb-ft; run maxima instead differ by 18.20 HP and 16.45 lb-ft. Both January 4, 2018 runs use original exhaust, fourth gear and blade fan, but baseline at 10:55:53 AM has SAE 0.99 versus intake at 2:58:06 PM with SAE 1.00. These results do not certify guaranteed dry-kit gains. Full D-550-51 lists this selected part for naturally aspirated 5.7L Challenger/Charger 2011-2020 and Chrysler 300 2011-2019. It excludes 2020 test groups LCRXV05.75P3, LCRXV05.75P4 and LCRXV05.75P5 with evaporative family LCRXR0168PP0. Later mechanical fitment does not establish later emissions exemption. Manufacturer Shaker and spacer exclusions override conflicting retailer positives. The exact bill uses the same service number for threadlocker and hose and prints a leading v on one clamp; obtain exact revision confirmation for separate service purchases.
