Short Ram Air Intake Kit w/ Heat Shield

The HPS Performance Air Intake Kit with Heat Shield (part number 827-681) is engineered to deliver a significant performance upgrade for the 2019-2023 Dodge Charger Hellcat 6.2L V8 Supercharged. Upon installation, users can expect a measurable increase of up to 14 horsepower and 14 lb-ft of torque, directly contributing to improved acceleration and a more thrilling engagement with the vehicle. Beyond mere power gains, the HPS Performance Air Intake Kit introduces a more aggressive and throaty induction sound, elevating the auditory feedback from the supercharged V8 engine. The system features a 5-inch diameter mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube, which facilitates a smoother, less restrictive flow of air into the engine. This larger diameter is crucial for maximizing the supercharger's potential and overall engine performance. The kit includes a high-flow, washable, and reusable cotton air filter, offering excellent filtration and long-term cost savings. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, the kit incorporates a heavy-duty, powder-coated, and insulated steel heat shield. This component effectively isolates the air filter from high engine bay temperatures, maintaining cooler intake air temperatures (IATs) which is critical for consistent power delivery. Furthermore, a removable rain shield is included to provide additional protection for the air filter against moisture in wet conditions, ensuring reliable operation in various weather scenarios. It comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware, HPS 3-ply high-temperature resistant couplers, and 100% stainless steel hose clamps, ensuring a secure and durable fitment. The specific applications for this intake kit are the 2019-2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat models, including all variants with the 6.2L V8 Supercharged engine.
