Just a FYI. Took me 2 minutes to get screws out with my tool kit. Simply a T-10 head on the same rachet used for top screws. I just used with adapter for heads. Figured i would comment because i see people saying it was a pain for them. Whole lower box switch took maybe 10 minutes total.
Glad someone understood what I was saying lol. Caught a bit of flak for being annoyed that they list it as a feature when it's not unless you do the mod...
Thank you for posting this. Do you have the part numbers? There is two different versions of the duct tube... want to make sure i get the one you have for the lighted air catchers.
Thanks for the tips. Looking to do this on my 19' Challenger Scat Pack this weekend. Any issues with debris, leaves, etc., getting through the intake tube?
I actually just checked the filter after driving about 500 miles and it looked fairly clean still. I live in Florida (no road salt/sand) and I did this after pollen season so that will be the real tell but so far so good. The air box has a big opening at the bottom so the larger stuff (if anything) likely just falls to the bottom of the bumper.
@@VanquishedAgainwith the bottom being open like that, should there be any worries for critters like mice, squirrels, chipmunks.. etc getting in there? Maybe a mesh could be installed if it’s possible?
They sell a different part for the charger. I believe it is a more involved process to install though. The airbox would be the same I think, but the tube is different www.ebay.com/itm/19-20-Dodge-Charger-Hellcat-Driver-Side-Air-Intake-Tube-Inlet-to-Hellcat-Box-OEM-/333811633634?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
The grommet in the front isn't difficult to get out. No need to shove an allen wrench or screw driver in it and force it out, its 2 pieces. Just push the center bushing up from the bottom which will allow the grommet to compress as you pull it out the slot. I also hate to be critical as your video is somewhat informative. I try to take the mechanical ability of the performer into consideration. The torx was'nt put there to inconvenience anyone, its there because there must've been an issue with the cap coming loose. Dodge won't spend the money on hardware or added features (the screw holes) to a part just to annoy you.
No. It lowers the intake temp which theoretically makes it more powerful and you can hear the suction when you're stopped and push the pedal. I didn't expect it to make a difference though. The car already has a cold air intake
@@microminiskirt if it's very hot out you might, but you gotta realize, these cars have 485hp. Even if it added 1hp which it didn't, you wouldn't notice it performance wise. It DOES lower the air intake temp when in motion, very close to ambient but...

I don't see why not. Just make sure you have the air catcher headlight and a closed airbox. If you already have a ram air style cone filter hour airbox might already have the opening connected. You can go to the part on eBay and message Steve white and they'll let you know if it fits. www.ebay.com/itm/333647616418
I was told by a few different people that the 1320 doesn't need the CAI. It won't make a difference in Hp. Save your money. But if you do it let me know just purchased a 1320 R T challenger. Like to know if there is a difference
My ? Is they sell the tube by itself does the stock box have the opportunity to just buy that tube and install it on the stock box. On the 1320 challenger 2020.
@@CCW-wg8ds its not really going to make a difference on my scat pack either though the intake temp is very close to ambient when at speed (+5 degrees or so). You can ask Steve white motors if it will work for your car but if you already have a hole in your airbox then you would only need the tube.
It’s called a torx bit. I think it’s a T10?
Ha yea. Definitely torx.
Well since I have about 5k in tools in my garage I should have that t10. But just my luck I'll have to to out and buy 1. LOL
This is a MUST; my car runs and sounds even better than before; HUGE difference. More air allows the engine to breathe. Get it
Going to do this to my 23 sxt, makes me so glad that I don't have those torx screws for the headlight caps.
Oh. Did they do away with them? That's awesome. Worst part of the mod haha
@@VanquishedAgain yes I was worried when I saw ppl dealing with the screws. I popped them out and ordered hellcat shit lol
Enjoyed your how to video. Going to be doing this to my new Challenger SXT.

For sure. If I had bothered to find my t-10 first it would've gone much better lol. Still a really easy mod
Agree, don't call them air catcher headlights if they are not catching air!
Glad someone understood what I was saying lol. Caught a bit of flak for being annoyed that they list it as a feature when it's not unless you do the mod...
ill be doing this mod this weekend on my F8 scat pack. Just gotta pick up a torx bit and some weather stripping
Thank you for posting this.

Will this fit 2016 challenger RT? If so where can I purchase the kit?
What would happen if you closed off the bottom opening? Wouldn't the RAM AIR effect be greater? Would the air flow be too restrictive?
I don't think it would be a benefit. More air is more air. At speed the air temp is very near ambient
Would this fit on a charger scatpack 2020

Did u cut any of the tube off to make it fit
Nope
DOES THIS REALLY HELP IN ANYWAY? What differences CAN YOU FEEL?
No. It lowers the intake temp which theoretically makes it more powerful and you can hear the suction when you're stopped and push the pedal.
I didn't expect it to make a difference though. The car already has a cold air intake
@@VanquishedAgain SO YOU CAN'T FEEL ANY DIFFERENCE ONLY MORE AIR SUCTION NOISE AT FULL THROTTLE?

I guess. It was a hundred bucks lol.
I just did it so I don't have to pretend like the headlight is an intake. lol
I can see this will not work on a Shaker Package
Yea not sure what that airbox looks like. If it has a hole for it. It might, but probably not worth it
Should this fit on a scat pack 1320
2020

@@VanquishedAgain it's just a Shame that they push these air port headlight tubes like it gives you more air input and the things are capped Off
How did you remove those tiny screws of the cap?
I used and destroyed an allen wrench. It requires a torx bit and a very small socket wrench to do it the right way.
