How To Install the Hellcat Intake Mod - Mopar Cold Air Intake

[@robertb3409]

Great video. I ordered my 2020 Challenger R/T in late August and I just picked up the car last week. Luckily the dealership is only 15 miles from the plant. I didn't know the headlight mod was so easy. I plan on doing it after the winter. Thanks again for the great video.

[@BurnseysRT]

Hey man. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Congrats on the Challenger. You will love it and I am sure you already do. I did hear through comments in a previous video that the challengers headlight cap might be a little more Challenging to remove. I heard there might be a tiny screw holding them in. Just wanted to let you know. But this mod is great.

[@flynnzero9282]

On newer models, I’ve noticed on mine and others that have done this online, that the square on the box is not in the right position exactly. It makes the hose scrunch together a little bit when you install. I’ve seen this on in a couple other videos also. Yours is lined up perfect.

[@BurnseysRT]

That’s really interesting. I wonder why that is. I wonder if it’s a different brand tube or if it’s for a different intake.

[@JohnDoe-zh9mv]

My 2023 is also scrunched a bit. Have you found a solution? I think it still allows most air through.

[@flynnzero9282]

@@JohnDoe-zh9mv Not really. I just made sure not kinked.

[@faviles2935]

Just ordered the headlight cold air intake tube, can’t wait to put it on my shaker 😁

[@SouthTXMojave]

Awesome work, man! You'll notice a drop in the temp pretty quickly, man. It's a cool little add on.

[@BurnseysRT]

Thanks allot man. This is a must and very happy this is the first thing I have done. I did it a week or so ago and love the results. The car drives so much more consistent from a power perspective. It’s worth every penny.

[@LARRYSORETH]

@@BurnseysRT just so everybody knows on a 2020 you have to remove the h/l and take out two little screws in the cap then you can install the air duct. Oh don't for get to aim the h/l after r&i......

Larry Soreth wow. I did not know what. Thank you for sharing. Very good to know. Thank you

[@RTLife]

This is a must do mod if you have a challenger. Nice step by step buddy

[@BurnseysRT]

Thanks so much man. I agree 10000%. This is a must do. The heat soak really got to this intake but now it’s so much better. Loving it for sure.

[@G-Force_70]

For better support would you recommend a 3" clamp around the the new hose and light inlet.

[@BurnseysRT]

That would be ideal for sure bit it is light enough to be ok without one. Tightening a clamp in that space would be a little tedious but possible with a 3” screw driver.

[@frostbitedos]

Hello sir, I am about to do the same mod to my brand new 2020 challenger scatpack WB Shaker. Your video is very clear and detailed, thank you very much! Liked and Subscribed!!!

[@BurnseysRT]

You are most welcome and I am really happy to hear this video has helped. Thanks for the support.

[@gilsgarageofficial]

On my 2022 this install was pain. They actually modified the duct cap so a T10 screw was put on both sides to prevent you from taking it off. On top of that, I think the connection to the tube and air box is now directly from those 4 silver bolts instead of just the black clamp.

[@BurnseysRT]

Thanks for sharing that. I did hear that about the screws on the 2019 or 2020+ models. What a pain. Can’t believe they did that.

[@scotts6596]

Just Curious: But aside from the headlight/airbox connection tube for improved breathing, where does the top cut out get its air from? I don't see a clear access for the outside air to enter that area into the cutout and to the airbox. How would you compare this to the Hellcat airbox with open headlight access? ( besides the Engine Bling effect)

[@darianjohnson2124]

Awesome video! Where did you get the cold air duct from?

[@mdg_collections]

Good install. Keep grinding!

[@BurnseysRT]

Thanks allot man. You too!!!

[@ThomasRSmith-og7zo]

Mine is a Last Call Shakedown with the Factory Hood Pins. Is it safe to unscrew the Hoodpin on the right side in order to take the plastic cover off? Also it has the Last Call Plaque on that side which I don't want to damage.

[@PurpleHaze2267]

Thanks for the instructions! I installed it but the tube that connects to the back of the headlight feels loose is that normal or is it suppose to be a tight fit ?

[@BurnseysRT]

You are welcome. Yeah I thought the same thing. I was concerned as well because it’s kinda flimsy but it stays on like it should and never had an issue. I thought it would make a tighter fit as well.

[@daytona5.722]

Sweet!! Great job on this video! I will be interested on the effect on intake temps!

[@BurnseysRT]

Thanks allot man. I want to see the concrete numbers as well. Might go do some data logging now actually. We shall see. Thanks again.

[@Mrhandyhitman]

Just curious, what happens when it rains? Does water not get into the intake at all?

[@CTHellcat]

Good install video! Curious to see how much it improves intake temps!

[@BurnseysRT]

Thanks allot man. I’ll have to use my OBDII dongle and do some data logging but I can tell a difference 100%. The peak power is so much more consistent now. I still get heat soaked but it takes allot more and if I am rolling the power sticks around all the time.

[@cdale613]

Can you do a follow up video to let us know if your intake air temps have dropped?

[@BurnseysRT]

I will more than likely will do a follow up/ first impressions video with some air intake temp tests. I can feel the benefits instantly. I am very happy with it so far.

[@cdale613]

That will be great. I have the scat pack with the shaker. I am looking into this. In your opinion would it make sense to try and seal off the top of the box so no hot air from the engine compartment gets in? To me it looks like the seal around the box does not make contact with the hood.

[@BurnseysRT]

I would say do it 100% but I’ll do a video. I was thinking the same. It definitely does not seal to the hood (especially by the shaker side). There is a clear plexiglass cover you can buy. I think it la $120 maybe. But I was thinking of getting some 1” weather stripping and placing it on the bottom of the hood to seal it up. I tested the seal with some foil. I stacked it on the intake box to see if it would crumple. It didn’t on the shaker side.

[@b5beast611]

Nice install video👍 Looking forward to the intake temp difference.

[@BurnseysRT]

Thanks Man. It was pretty simple but a must do with the shaker. You need a little more cool air. The car runs so much more consistent since the install. Best $60 I have spent on a car. Love it.

[@b5beast611]

@@BurnseysRT Awesome👌

[@tompatterson436]

What about rain. It looks like the air intake is lower than the filter. I’ve heard people drilling holes in the bottom of the air box to let the water out. Have you had any water problems?

[@BurnseysRT]

I have never had water issues. I always keep the headlight caps in my car Incase it’s a monsoon but under normal rain etc. I have not had problems. What typically happens is the water that might come in hits the bend in that tube, slows down and then drips down. One it gets into where the filter is.

[@rachelmichael2961]

I have a 2021 Shaker and did the adapter install today. One thing I noticed was the little hose you disconnected from the filter before removing the large hose. Mine did not have this, it was capped off. I'm at a total loss as to why. What is the job of that particular hose and why would my filter not have one? Should I be concerned that this is something the factory forgot?

[@BurnseysRT]

If it’s capped off I would not be concerned. It must just be a change they made. That might be the vacuum hose but not 100% sure

[@ThomasRSmith-og7zo]

Do you have a part Number? I just bought a 2023 392 Shakedown and would like to install that mod

[@BurnseysRT]

Try 341058 or EPDM. That is what is physically on the tube

[@BurnseysRT]

It might be different from the 2019 but not sure

Perfect. Glad I could help

[@antoniojava6961]

Quick question: The right-hand side headlamp also seems to serve as an optional intake. What does the intake on that side feed into?

[@BurnseysRT]

The passenger side cap can be removed to just add additional cooling to the engine compartment. And then the driver side can be removed to allow for cooling for a cold air intake like the once shown in this video. Could help other cold air intakes as well.

[@jonathanficco8384]

New guy question. Will this effect the light at all

[@BurnseysRT]

No sir. Not one bit. It’s a great mod.

[@hammer3921]

Clever little mod there. Wish there was something like that for the Charger. Stock air box with a free flow drop in filter is the way to go unless you do the Hellcat mod.

[@BurnseysRT]

Thanks man. It’s a great quick easy mod that adds allot of benefit. I agree. The stock setup is pretty good. Better than aftermarket in most cases unless you get maybe the leg maker or like you said the Hellcat Mod. Never wanted to do the hellcat mod because I didn’t want to take off the front bumper.

[@stevenp3176]

The newer charger seems to have similar functionality with the new grill design. May be something to look in to. No doubt will be cost more than this mod.

[@charlesburke6784]

will this fit 2022 challenger with shaker ?

[@BurnseysRT]

I would believe it would but you might have to look up the compatibility to make 100% sure. The one think I have heard is that the headlight caps are screwed in in 2019+ models. So that’s not a deal breaker but something to be aware of.

[@666Slash]

[@kenb.8596]

Probably gonna get jumped all over here but, this mode + changing your oil over to AmsOil 0W40 full synthetic, which MOPAR just authorized dealerships to use, will drop your temps down by 14 to 18 + degrees, due to less friction, I just ordered the airflow tube, & will wait to visit temps once installed, but due yourselves & you’re Scats a big favor, switch to AmsOil, hell of a lot of research & it blows the competition out of the water, it was # 1 in the roller bearing test, which involved heat & friction, but hey, look up the test results, hot/cold it came on top, only drawbacks, very pricey oil.

@@BurnseysRT You're totally welcome! One last question, is your intake stock? I was thinking about doing the entire Hellcat intake box as a replacement along with this part. I think I may leave the intake in place if the stock one is suffice.

[@BurnseysRT]

Glad you asked to clarify. My Shaker came with the Mopar CAI from the factory so this is an add on to the Mopar CAI not the lower half of the hellcat air box. If you have a stock intake I would get the lower half of the hellcat air box and the headlight tube for that. If you get the hellcat lower half the part number will be different. Will be something like below. This is the lower half and tube combo. Or you can get the lower half and headlight duct tube separate ( link below that) Dodge Challenger SRT 6.4L Conversion Air Cleaner Box & Duct Tube OEM www.amazon.com/dp/B01E4JO9UE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_SoFUEb93GCK0P Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Air Cleaner Duct Tube Mopar OEM www.amazon.com/dp/B01E4JDL8K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lrFUEbDWT3SSP

Hey burnsey! I used to be 8speedRT with all the drag racing stuff… anyway I just got a 2021 scat pack shaker and I just bought the intake tube for the headlight. Mine is all silicone and kinda squishy but I think it’ll do the job. The only difference between this and the scat is the thing blocking the airflow I have to remove two screws instead of 3 clips. Also how much did it help you?

Very nice! Congrats man! That’s exciting. That’s my favorite Mopar (Shaker Scat). Ahh. I did hear about the screws vs the clips.

Angel Villegas you should be able to in some way. If you have a newer challenger and you can remove the headlight cap on the driver side you can do this. If you have a Mopar CAI I believe you can do this just like I did. I would check and make sure the air box is in the same location. If you have a stock air box you can purchase the lower half of the hellcat air box. It has a hole in the front that you can connect a tube to the hole where you remove the cap. It will probably run around $80-$100 for both pieces but it’s well worth it. Hope this helps.
