I wanted to post an Install video Incase anyone might be interested in installing the Mopar Cold Air Intake Headlamp Duct Tube on their Dodge Challenger. Hope you enjoyed the video. Performance impression video coming soon!!!
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.
@@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......
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
It’s funny you noticed. Yeah totally did forget while on camera. I did realize shortly after I shut it off. Fortunately I did realize before I started her up. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment. Appreciate it
Thanks allot man. Appreciate it. Yes this will fit on the 2019 R/T 100%. I actually have a 2019 R/T as well. Below is one link to the part. You can always take that part number and search for it but this would do the trick.

@@BurnseysRT Aww thanks bud! You're a life saver. I'm adding this into my car for sure now. I'm enjoying the channel so I just subbed! I got my 2019 6 weeks ago and just started a channel myself. It's nice connecting with you and thanks for the info again. I'll let you know when I get it installed 👍🏽
@@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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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. I loved it and I thought it helped allot to keep air intake temps down. I found the engine hear from the 392 is a completely different beast than the 345. The more cool air the better.
@@BurnseysRT thanks man! The induction sound from the shaker hood is amazing I love how it whistles! I’ll let you know how the install goes thanks for the video 💪
The only way I can is through an OBDII dongle and a phone app unfortunately. But the one I have I can data log so that should do the trick. Just wish I would have gotten navigation so I could have gotten the 8.4” screen so I could have performance pages I guess you live and you learn. Only regret.
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?
Here is the link to the tube. The air box and filter are from the Mopar Cold Air intake system. Mopar 77072385 Cold Air Intake Headlamp Duct Tube Dodge Challenger www.amazon.com/dp/B06XGZ5HPB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_W05WVKF6VX5FC8AM54F9
I want to say you should be able to. Check out this video and see if you can remove the headlight cap like I can on mine. If so yes you can. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--y8PPs2wiXE.html
Yes I would imagine you should be able to. You might need a longer vacuum hose but not 100% sure about that. The Other thing you would need to do is seal the inside of the shaker up so water doesn’t poor into the engine bay when it rains. Check out the video on my channel below to show what I did for the winter. How to Disable the Shaker Hood for the Winter on Your Dodge Challenger
Well I have the other headlight cap off so dirt is probably getting in that way as well. But the duct tube isn’t a perfect seal. It’s realitivly loose seal because it slides over the headlight.
@@BurnseysRT im taking about the air intake tube where is connects to the throttle body under the shaker scoop. Take a look at the dirt there it seems to drip off the front shaker acoop...
Oh yeah. Gotcha. Yeah the shaker hood drains right onto the darn intake tube. We are getting record rainfall this year so it’s a mess under there unfortunately.
Randy Farris hey man. Should be able to find it cheaper but here is a link I just found. You can at least get the part number from this listing. Mopar 77072385 Cold Air Intake Headlamp Duct Tube Dodge Challenger www.amazon.com/dp/B06XGZ5HPB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_i1x0EbMB4QEHE
Unfortunately it won’t fit the Charger. This if for the Challenger. There is a kit you can get for the Charger. But it would require you to remove your front bumper and stuff. It’s a bit more involved u fortunately. But a link is below for the Part. www.amazon.com/2015-2016-Dodge-Challenger-Intake-Headlamp/dp/B06XGZ5HPB/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=dodge+challenger+headlight+intake+tube&qid=1595133243&sprefix=dodge+challenger+headlight+intake+tube&sr=8-3
I believe it does if you have the Mopar CAI. I am not 100% sure though. If not you could probably get the Lower half of the hellcat air box and buy that tube that goes from the headlight to air box. Not sure what the stock airbox looks like on the V6 off hand.
Unfortunately I am not sure. I don’t have much experience with that Intake if it’s like the one in the link below I would imagine removing the front driver side headlight cap should do the trick. I am assuming you are talking about the Challenger. Good luck man. www.americanmuscle.com/jlt-challenger-performance-cold-air-intake-cai-dh05.html?Intake%20-%20CAI%7CJLT&T5_Var4=CH3726-57&T5_Var2=shopping&AMD+Challenger+Brands+%26+Vehicle+Low&T5_Var3=purple&intl=0&dialogtech=ppc&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=CjwKCAjwwYP2BRBGEiwAkoBpAt6SwFQ6gbHiSz-FAjwkTUTsyMiX5v3dUjgyPM2CuX0X0LyUfds7nBoCIq0QAvD_BwE
I will have to look up the part number. It’s the Mopar I take that comes direct from the factory for the Shakers, Daytona’s and other performance models. If I can get my hands on the PN I’ll reply back.
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.
I have the Mopar CAI. If you have ate stock airbox below are the parts you’d want. Can find them cheaper but here are examples. Lower half. www.amazon.com/Challenger-Charger-Hellcat-Cleaner-Mopar/dp/B01E4JIWFC/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=challenger+hellcat+lower+half+air+box&qid=1595511857&sr=8-5 Headlight duct tube www.amazon.com/Dodge-Challenger-Hellcat-Cleaner-Mopar/dp/B01E4JDL8K/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=challenger+hellcat+lower+half+air+box&qid=1595511857&sr=8-7
I would say you are not going to gain HP necessary but you will definitely maintain peak HP with it. You won’t get heat soak from the engine bay affecting the air intake temps. 100% worth the money.
