K&N 63-1572 AirCharger Performance Intake System designed for the 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 3.6L Pentastar V6
|
The 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 3.6L is the perfect midsize sedan for people who like to "think outside the box". It's willfully stylish, with a coupe-like roofline, striking LED driving lights, and an aggressive stance. The interior is equally dramatic, with optional real wood trim, premium leather, and the handy UConnect system. In a world full of boring, cookie-cutter sedans, the Chrysler 200 Limited / Chrysler 200S / Chrysler 200C are a breath of fresh air.
If you've opted for the powerful 3.6L Pentastar V6, then your luxurious "American Import" will be a real sleeper (i.e. a powerful car with unassuming looks). All you have to do is floor the Go-Pedal, and 295-hp / 262 lb-ft of torque will slingshot you to 60 mph in a just over 6-seconds. To put that into perspective, the Chrysler 200 V6 is faster to 60 mph than the Ferrari 308 that Tom Selleck drove on Magnum P.I. But if you want an even more powerful stoplight hero, then you'll love the estimated 10-hp that a K&N 63-1572 AirCharger Performance Intake System can add.
The all-aluminum Pentastar V6 in the 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 3.6L is an impressive bit of engineering, with advanced features like variable cam timing, and exhaust manifolds that are integrated directly into the cylinder heads. But if you want to get the most horsepower out of this hi-tech engine, you've got to replace the restrictive stock intake tract, and allow more air to flow into the throttle body.
Since air fuels the explosion that happens when gasoline is ignited inside the cylinders, adding a larger volume of oxygen-rich cold air will cause a more forceful detonation, which is where extra horsepower comes from. The K&N 63-1572 AirCharger Performance Intake System is designed to reduce airflow restriction, so the Pentastar V6 can get the air it needs to make more power.

The heart of the K&N 63-Series AirCharger Intake System is a large, roto-molded HDPE (high density polyethylene) K&N intake tube, which uses an aerodynamically optimized shape to channel more air, down a straighter airflow path. The smooth interior of the tube virtually eliminates turbulence as air passes through the system. This combination of features helps to create a more consistent airflow pattern, and allows the engine to actually use all of the cold air coming in from the high-flow K&N performance air filter.

The reusable K&N cotton gauze air filter is protected from warm engine air by a sealed heat shield. It can flow considerably more air than the stock paper air filter, and the oiled cotton fiber matrix efficiently removes airborne contaminants. This allows K&N air filters to provide 97%-99% filtration efficiency, which is the percentage of dirt particles that get removed from the air. Thanks to a larger surface area and the proprietary material, a K&N air filter can go up to 100,000 miles before it needs to be cleaned (depending on driving conditions of course). And the entire K&N 63-1572 AirCharger System is backed by a 10-Year/million mile limited warranty. So you can rest assured that it will perform for a very long time.
Since every K&N cold air intake system is engineered for a specific vehicle, installation will only take around 90 minutes, using simple hand tools. K&N installed a K&N 63-1572 AirCharger Performance Intake System on a stock 2015 Chrysler 200 3.6L, then dyno tested the car to verify the horsepower gains.

Dyno tests revealed an estimated increase of 10.46 horsepower and 20.12 lb-ft of torque. Putting it on par with the more powerful Dodge Charger 3.6L, and far beyond the performance capabilities of most midsize sedans. The increased airflow also provides faster throttle response (because the engine doesn't have to work as hard to draw in air), and a better sounding engine note during acceleration. But your individual results may vary, due to mileage, modifications, and condition of your specific Chrysler 200 Limited / Chrysler 200S / Chrysler 200C.
K&N also makes other performance parts to fit the 2015-2016 Chrysler 200 3.6L, or just about any other vehicle on the road. To check out what else you can do to upgrade the performance of your Pentastar 3.6L, click here to use the Search by Vehicle Tool, or click here to find a K&N dealer near you.
