AFE Stage 2 I bought off a friend who went Procharged on his Charger SRT8. The sound is amazing, and yes - you can still hear it past 4k.

I simply pulled the airbox and cut out a 6"X6" section on the front below the filter. Looks normal upon casual inspection but gives that classic CAI sound when you step on the go pedal. Makes the 300 sound good and cost $0.00

Smokey that's the best idea I've heard.
I did the same thing with my wife's stock 93 Harley 883 Sportster. By drilling fifteen 16mm holes under the air filter, in the plastic housing it breathed and pulled away so much faster. But it was staved of air and the 300 is not. So there probably wont be any difference in performance, but it wont be any worse off either.
By cutting out or drilling holes in the front of the air box, you should not be affected by the engine heat. Also you will not need that expensive catch can nonsense, and it will sound good and cost nothing.
Now where's my drill.

Just ensure you run a good quality drop in filter designed for open air conditions (like a K&N), if not then the stock paper filter could let too much moisture and particles through it that usually don't make it through. Not saying it would be a big issue, but to be safe and help flow a good aftermarket drop in panel filter wouldn't hurt!

Is the K & N drop in filter the type of filter you have to spray with filter oil?

Yes.

AFE has wet and dry panel filters available but it looks like their panel filter that fits the stock airbox requires oil as well.

Are you recommending a wet filter for this application, and do they come pre oiled or do I have to oil it myself. We don't have them here in SA, so I will have to get it shipped and the cost doubles by the time it gets here.
Thanks in advance.

For an open bottom air box I'd probably do a wet, it will grab more junk and can be cleaned pretty easily... dry would also do it I guess, but personally I'd go wet.

Heya! Do you perhaps have pics of where you drilled? I want to do summing similar to my Forty Eight.

Also, which CAI did you decide on, if at all? I have a home made one (two) that sounds good on my Charcoal 6.4 (Betty #2 ), but on the White one (Betty #1 ) I cannot hear a difference because of the custom pipes...

Dankie!

Hi Ambrin,

As it's a new car I decided in the end not to turn it into Swiss cheese.
I might buy a Mopar filter one day just for the sucking sound they make, although they make very little difference to the performance. I got nine speeding tickets last year, and I need another like I need another hole in the head!

Cheers.

Get a K&N Blackhawk. Great sound, great looks, quality made, uses the new oiless (black) filter that you only have to clean every 50,000kms.
A little pricey at 300$ USD but i'll pay that for K&N quality and reputation.

Sounds like instead of a CAI you could use a good Radar Detector.

whats the best cold air intake for 2012 and up srt k&n mopar afe

I know this sound wrong but I got a better sound and more HP with simply installing a K&N air filter.
Worth a try and way less money

I made my own with a few 4" exhaust bends and a welder. Took a bit of time but cheap.

The best cold air intake for a Chrysler 300C would be the K&N Cold Air Intake. It has a great reputation among vehicle owners and is designed to increase horsepower and torque by reducing air restrictions. Additionally, the fact that it comes with a reusable filter is a great feature, as it saves you money in the long run. However, as with any modification to your vehicle, it's important to do your research and make sure the cold air intake you choose is compatible with your specific model of Chrysler 300C.

If u want to sound like a muscle car buy the mopar. It sounds great.

 

[Jim910]

The simple fact is that our cars have excellent air flow with the stock CAI boxes right from the factory. There's very little to be gained by installing anything different other than sound and appearance. I personally have put in a Mopar CAI because I love the way it looks and sounds, but I know that I'm not gaining any noticable performance. Unless you want looks and sound, save your money and just put a good aftermarket filter in your stock air box.
