K&N Cold Air Intake System 63-1114

What to know

For a Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger that feels less responsive than you’d like, an intake upgrade is meant to change how air reaches the engine. The K&N 63-1114 cold air intake system is listed for select 2011–2023 Chrysler and Dodge 300, 300C, Challenger, and Charger models. Its high-flow reusable filter and less-restrictive airflow path are intended to support acceleration and engine response.

K&N says its intake systems are dyno tested and that reports come with each system, but the product details here don’t give a specific horsepower or torque gain. Treat the performance claims as a reason to investigate, not a guaranteed result for every vehicle. Keep in mind that fitment is limited to select models, so the exact year and vehicle application matter before buying. The intake is also designed to make the engine growl more under acceleration, which may be welcome for some drivers and intrusive for others.

Cleaning & care

The reusable filter has four layers of pleated cotton treated with red filter oil. K&N says it needs cleaning every 100,000 miles under normal highway conditions. That interval is tied to those stated conditions, driving in dustier environments may call for closer attention to the filter rather than assuming the same schedule applies. The available details don’t explain the cleaning steps or list care supplies, so factor in the upkeep involved with a reusable filter instead of expecting a maintenance-free part.

Practical tips

The kit includes installation instructions and the necessary parts. K&N says installation typically takes less than 60 minutes with basic hand tools, though your vehicle, workspace, and comfort working under the hood can affect the job. A practical first step is to compare the exact vehicle year and model with the product’s fitment details before starting, the broad year range alone doesn’t confirm that every listed vehicle takes this intake.

Picture merging onto a highway: the system is intended to improve throttle response as you accelerate, while adding a more noticeable intake sound under load. K&N also presents it as useful for towing and uphill driving, but there’s no specific test result here to predict how much difference you’ll feel with your setup. A solid pick if you want a reusable filter, a more open airflow design, and a sportier engine note in one upgrade. It might not be a great match if you prefer a quieter, stock-like sound or don’t want to maintain a reusable filter. From the way it is set up, this is an engine intake upgrade—not a stand-alone fix for other causes of sluggish acceleration.

Before you decide

Which vehicles does the 63-1114 fit? It is listed for select 2011–2023 Chrysler 300 and 300C, and Dodge Challenger and Charger models. Confirm the exact application for your vehicle.

Does the kit include installation parts? The product description says it comes with the necessary parts and step-by-step instructions, installation typically uses basic hand tools.

How often does the filter need cleaning? K&N states every 100,000 miles under normal highway conditions. The details don’t specify an interval for other driving conditions.

Final verdict

Consider this intake if your exact vehicle is covered and you want a reusable cotton filter, a less-restrictive airflow path, and a stronger sound on acceleration. The stated gains in power, torque, and towing response aren’t quantified in the information provided, so a driver seeking a specific performance increase should look for results tied to their exact application. If you’d rather keep the factory sound and avoid filter upkeep, staying with a more basic, stock-style setup may suit you better.
