CORSA Performance has extended its line of air intakes to include Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challenger, Charger and Magnum vehicles. The air intake increases engine function and performance for a boost in horsepower.
New applications include:
* 300 models – 2012-2013 6.4L, 2011-2014 5.7L and 2004-2010 6.1L SRT8 (part numbers 468646, 463576 and 46861)
* Challenger models – 2011-2013 6.4L and 2011-2014 5.7L, and 2008-2010 5.7L (part numbers 468646, 462576 and 46857154)
* Charger models – 2012-2013 6.4L, 2011-2014 5.7L and 2005-2010 6.1L SRT8 (part numbers 468646, 463576 and 46861)
* Magnum models – 2005-2008 6.1L SRT8 (part number 46861)
CORSA’s air intake systems feature either high-efficiency Pro 5 filters or cutting-edge Donaldson(r) PowerCore(r) filtration technology. The Donaldson PowerCore filter is a 100,000-mile no-maintenance filter that maximizes air flow, removes submicron particulates and outlasts conventional media filters. It directs air through channels that allow clean air to efficiently enter the engine, while trapping particulates in adjacent channels that do not impede airflow. The closed box design of the air intake creates a barrier to engine heat, moisture, dust and debris to improve performance and enhance the life of the filter.
“The superior air filtration technology we use in our air intakes helps optimize engine function for high performance results,” said Craig R. Kohrs, vice president and general manager, TMG Performance Products. “Every filter box is engineered to the specific application for lower restriction and increased air volume.”
CORSA air intakes are equipped with silicone connectors that provide flexibility while maintaining strength and thermal stability. Marine grade stainless steel clamps are also included, which allow for a solid seal that will not loosen or deteriorate. Installation time is typically 30 minutes and is made simple with complete instructions and all the necessary hoses and adapters.
CORSA Performance air intakes are backed by a limited one-year warranty for the intake housing and Pro 5 filter or a four-year 100,000-mile warranty on the Donaldson PowerCore(r) Filter.

This is fairly astonishing considering it has been nearly a year since Apple rolled out new models but particularly since Samsung launched its brand-new Galaxy S5 in April and HTC rolled out its much ballyhooed One (M8) in March. So two leading Android vendors debuted their well-received flagship models during the spring… and Apple’s American market share still inched up another notch.
