What is the best air intake for 3.6L Challenger?
 

Hi everyone,

today we decided to choose the best way to improve the performance of a 3.6L V6 Challenger to make it closer to the big brother V8 and keep the gas mileage low!

Max power or max economy on demand whenever you need it!

And our first step is the air intake of course.

Let's compare manufacturer's performance improvement claims and DYNO results that we received from K&N, CGS and AIRAID.

As we see the best results are shown by the AIRAID air intake. It provides a solid performance improvement from the lowest RPMs. K&N aircharger intake kit is very close to it in the power increase, plus it has a mild sound.
3rd Place belongs to CGS air intake system with their 8 HP gain.
