- See how to upgrade your car that does NOT have a cabin air filter slot or inlet to being able to have a car that provides cleaner air with a cabin air filter. Click on SHOW MORE for all tools 🛠️ and supplies you need. Please 👍👍👍 AND Subscribe 🔔 if this helps. This is being done on a Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, or a Dodge Magnum. #FixCarYourself
The old Cabin filter separator aka the black plastic thing does not have a slot and the old useless piece has to be removed. Then a new piece which is an actual cabin air filter inlet has to be installed. Expect this job to take 2 hours to do.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Doing this job is at your own risk so do this carefully, and if not comfortable doing it yourself, then hire a mechanic 🧑🔧 which will probably charge you anywhere from $200 to $500 total.
Please mention in the COMMENTS what other car models this improvement works on. So far it has been verified that it works on the Charger, Magnum, and 300.
These are all the tools 🧰 and supplies you'll need:
Power tool amzn.to/35VxnvN
Flat head screwdriver amzn.to/3wbHuZd
Pry bar or trim stick amzn.to/3eiB9mG
Ratchet Wrench 3/8" amzn.to/2JiEG9d
Socket Set short 3/8" amzn.to/2THxwxi
Torque Wrench 3/8": amzn.to/3jLg4CN
OPTIONAL:
Tape
Garden Hose or cleaner
Shop Vacuum
This is the Actual or UPGRADED part you need which is called the Engine Fresh Air Inlet Plenum, which contains the cabin air filter slot....the ONLY part you need other than the actual cabin filter.
The part model number is:
4806294AD 👉 www.ebay.com/itm/325279146814
OR part model number 4806294AB 👉 amzn.to/32xxk84
OR part model number 4806294AA 👉 amzn.to/3aoaQLs
OR part model number 4806294AC
ℹ️ You may be able to find it on Ebay or Amazon from the links above but they are expensive if they become available. Click above ⬆️ to hopefully grab the slot or inlet, and then install if interested, then later you can buy the actual cabin air filter which varies in brands and prices.
Here are some below:

This video was made to show a better solution to fixing this problem all because of all those who commented and said how many vehicles didn't come equipped with this cabin filter slot. It's because of people like you 🙂 a solution was found, so for ALL of those people, THANKS 👏 for making a difference to others!!! and hopefully this new video provides a little bit of comfort knowing that a solution does exist for some models.
Hopefully you found this video to be valuable and that future OEM's will think about your health and safety. The world must quickly adapt to be more more health conscious so this seems like something other car company's should focus on.
Thanks for watching 👀 and if you think this video could help others then send and share this video to them.

Wow, decade plus of no filter I finally can install this! Bless you sir
Yep same here. Wish the manufacturer or dealership would have told us sooner. Anyway it only works on the charger, 300, and Magnum, but it does feel good knowing a solution does exist at least for some cars.
Oh brother, I know i'm 2 years late on this video... We had a check-up on our old 2006 Chrysler 300 AWD Touring at our local tire shop today; they ran a test and said we just needed to replace our old cabin air filter. They wanted to charge us $70 to replace our old filter. But, we decided to buy our own filter and do it ourselves.... ha ha! The jokes on us....... there is no Cabin air filter housing! I sure they knew this... and would have called us later to say "it's gunna cost way more money". I think we will just clean out the blank space and vacuum really well and call it a day. 215,000 miles on this old gal and we've sunk a lot of cash into her ailing parts. Engine still strong, trans still strong. We have to put fuel injector cleaner in every other gas fill to keep all her throat/cats clean. Crazy how these 300's can just keep going and going. Fantastic video for those who have a lot health issues/asthma/allergies!
Thanks for your input. Glad you liked this video
I have a 2007 dodge magnum, thanks for this 🥰🔥
Happy it helped!
Damn bro thx so much I’m glad I saw ur vid now I got hope cuz every time I test out my engine some kind of weird smell goes in my car
glad this helped. Let us know if you replace this yourself.
I really wanted to install this, but this is way too much work for something that should have been so much more simple. Thank you for your video.
I agree. I only did this because lot of people were looking for a solution, and I realized Chrysler had a solution and apparently they just didn't want others to know about...that and because they were penny-pinching and didn't care about their customers health and come standard with these cabin filter slots.
Anyway it took me a couple hours to do. Not hard, but time-consuming.
you can do it I just did it, the video helped a lot, but I put the replacement as is not in the front of the mold, it seals better.
Where can i Buy that piece can You share an Amazon link please 😢
Nice. I put it in front, and its still good. A little harder to get back in behind, it is possible though definitely!
I put some links in the description of the video.
I just purchased the housing to put this on my Magnum. Thank you.
Great. I'm glad this helped! Take your time when doing this, and lets us know how the removal of the old one or the installation of this piece goes.
Where did you purchase, headed to salvage yard tomorrow.
I did this to my 2010 srt8 challenger 10 years ago. Had to buy 2011 housing and it fit and filters outside air perfectly. Nice video showing the procedure that's the way its done.
Thanks I do appreciate it! and I wish the manufacturer would have publicly mentioned this upgrade 10 years ago as well. It would have helped a lot of people.
@@FixCarYourselfyou both say upgrade but does this really improve anything?
More so beneficial for people with allergies.
Hi, do you know if it fits on a 2009 SRT8 Challenger? And do you still have the part # of the housing?
@@luctailleur4010 I need to know the same bc we both have the same car!
I just found myself in the same situation. Bought a filter for my 2005 dodge caravan…nothing. Luckily I can take my filter back. Might do this in the future though. Thanks and add 2005 Dodge Caravan to that list!
Glad this helped and its a shame the early 2000 models didn't think to include it to benefit their customers health. Also you might want to hold off on upgrading with your Dodge Caravan or any Jeep vehicle, as it can not be upgraded at least I haven't been told of a solution yet. So far only the Charger, 300, & Magnum have been officially confirmed to be upgradeable.
I'll definitely add the Caravan to the list on the other video for all those vehicles that don't come with a cabin filter. Hoping others complain to Dodge about this and that they make an update to help older car models, but don't hold your breath.
I'll make a new video if a new solution ever becomes available and let you know!
thank you so much for this. I have been dying of allergies in my car and my car also has a housing with no inlet to put the filter in. Total idiots for selling a car without a cabin filter.
Glad it helped... let me know if u ever do this project! Hopefully you find it pretty easy to do for the most part.
Bro you need to post this all over the internet on all the Chrysler forums because there are a ton of people out there so confused as to why their car doesn't have a cabin air filter not knowing that was option upgrade, and they don't know that they can actually upgrade their vehicle themselves to have a cabin air filter like you're showing!! I guarantee you will have a fun of you if you were to post on the Chrysler forums and everything linking this video oh, you'd be helping out a shit ton of people, I kid you not!!
Hopefully others can do that! It's very time consuming. I made a few videos prior a couple years ago hoping to educate others. Perhaps I'll make another more recent video.
So I just bought a filter and was wonder why it wouldn't fit i was about to return it but no my car just sucks. Thank you for this information and how to install a proper filter chastity
Yep we all fill your pain!
Thank you!
You bet!
you are amazing person
Thanks for the complement.
Thank you! I have had my 300 for 5 years now and I could not find a guide online how to fix this. Can you make a video on how to clean the air ducts next? Mines have a lot of dirt in them since I don't have a filter.
Glad it helped.
And sure I will make a video sometime soon on cleaning the air ducts.
Outstanding work 💪.. Outstanding video 💯💯👌🏽👌🏽 I'm so pissed I brought the filter an there isn't even a place for it!
Thanks. And you are not alone, thousands of people have ran into the same situation. The good news is their is a soloution, the bad news is it takes time and unnecessary money because THEY were to cheap and inconsiderate to think of their customers health.
Why would you even buy a filter without knowing whether or not it needs to be replaced?? That's like buying all new tires without even knowing whether or not you need new tires, that's just dumb!! Well you found out the hard way, luckily you ended up at this video so now you can actually use that filter if you're willing to do the work to put in the housing
@@polosavage1 really 🙄🙄
I guess we're all seasoned mechanics who come to CZcams for fun.. It's a damn filter guy smh.. It really broke the bank🙄 If you don't have any positive information to share, don't bother responding to people. You have a blessed day
Wow 👏
Thanks appreciate the comment!
thank you so much, it's not that difficult, it's just the freaking rivets were annoying, pry bar next time... just a note, I suggest you put the replacement in the back as the original to seal better with the firewall.
Glad it helped. Nice comment to help others out. However, I actually did try to get it behind and had a lot of difficulty to the point where it really didn't matter because the cabin filter was doing its job to help capture any particulates. Also you still have to tighten the screws so it's not like its shaking whether its in the front or the back. Perhaps others can chime in on this and leave their feedback. Regardless the way I look at it, is its better than nothing.
The people at Dodge/Chrysler ARE absolute idiots -- you're so right! I just discovered your videos today, after finding that my 2006 Dodge Charger is built this same way, with NO CABIN AIR FILTER! I'm so pissed off 😣
PS: Thanks so much for this useful and informative video. I'll never do this complicated retrofit for myself. But I might figure out a way to stuff some filter material in front of that wire mesh opening....
@@livingitup9647 I didn't want to do it either as I don't have health problems or even drive a lot, but I started thinking about everyone who responded on a different video and said they didn't have a filter either and how it actually affected a lot of people. oS I thought about doing a retrofit of sorts, then I realized some models have a working cabin filter, and that the part itself can be interchanged. So I made a video to help others out and unintentionally this video should also stick it the manufacturer for penny pinching!
Thank you so much. I looked online where the cabin air filter is located, found it but nothing on my car not having one. I thought my car had a warped filter housing. LOL
Ha thats probably what they want you to think. But I'm glad this helped! 👊
Now the hard decision is deciding whether to do this or not?
@@FixCarYourself As soon as I can get one I will get it done. Thanks again..
@@mariog6656 cool let me know eventually when you fix it 😎
I was thinking someone stole mine looks like a factory worker got lazy wth
I see it's like $150 online!! I went to u pull r parts a junk yard where you pull parts off scrap cars and got it for $5.56!! I'm excited to install this in a 2007 charger RT. I checked 4 chargers and 2 300s and only found one of them to have this.
Nice. I know their pricy because their hard to get.
were can i get the housing filter i have a 2007 charger i like to do it to mine i suffer from asthma
I put a link to the part. Its in the description if still available.
Would this work for a Chrysler 300 2006 touring edition v6 3.5
Yes
Does somebody know the part number of the housing for a Challenger SRT8 2009??? And where can I find this part??? Thks.
I put some links in the description.
I have a 2007 Chrysler 300c. And it don't have a cabin air filter slot. And my air conditioner is blowing out stinky air. Where can I buy the house unit from and what kind/brand did you use?
I bought the unit online. Kinda pricey.. I put some links in the description.
i would like to figure out which mopar cars this is compatible with, so it would be easier to find compatible cars in junkyards,
also seems a very strange part for mopar to cheap out on, especially since it is almost the same amount of plastic and wire mesh.
and yes ive noticed the intro list, but am currently researching which cars this specific upgraded plenum will be compatible with
Please let us know, so far it appears to only be for the chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum which were built on the same platform which is why I'm guessing this part is exclusively for only these models.
Your exactly right. I believe they were looking at total costs and the black plastic piece doesn't cost any different than the one without the slit. However the actual cabin filter does. They literally were penny pinching, and harming customers health. Glad they kinda went bankrupt!
Great video, have the same problem. Big question, how did you find the slotted part for the cabin filter. I called Dodge and they knew a dealer in Wa. They had a later model. If you can help, it would greatly appreciated.
Thanks! I found it when I noticed a difference at a junkyard between some cars. Also I later figured out that the ones in a newer car were not compatible. The dummies at chrysler dodge didn't make the part backwards compatible. 😖 I'll make a video on that soon. You'll want the older model with the slot. Their are some links in the description.
Went to local salvage . First car I looked at had it. Bammmmm
👌
Where did you get the replacement cabin air filter housing from? My 2008 chrysler 300 doesn't have a cabin filter and wanted to upgrade
Their are some links in the description.
Try the junkyard
Where’s the link to buy the cabin housing? I have a dodge challenger 2010
I put the link in the description. Its pricey.
I have a 2006 Dodge Caravan would love to know if there's any particular thing I should be looking out for to do this myself in my vehicle
This doesn't work on the dodge Caravan.
@@FixCarYourself drats. Thank you
If I ever figure out or find a soloution. Ill Let you know or ill make a video on it.
I have a 2007 300 Chrysler and mine don't even have it it got the you know it got like it like it's durable when I open it up is nothing there but it look like you can put what y'all talking about I can have it put in so I got a 2007 300 Chrysler 300 so I won't mind doing what y'all doing I can take that and put it you know you said take 2 hours I think I can do it I like the way you do it what you the way you did it on the video I think I can do it by myself but they said it dollars that ain't bad if you can buy for $60 and put it in yourself that's a good thing
You can definitely do it! Just go slow and take your time.
Would that fit my 2007 chrylser 300 2.7l?
Yes I believe others have said it works for 2005-2010 models, maybe some other years as well, others will have to chime in on this.
Town & country 2003 has the same issue =(
They made so many of those popular cars, and they couldn't include a simple part.
What is the part number? For the housing
I put all the part numbers in the description.
2005 Dodge Grand caravan cabin air filter???
This doesn't work on that. The Grand CAravan is different.
Where can I buy the housing air filter? I have a 2007 Chrysler and have the same shitty manufactory one
Check out the links in the description below.
Thank you so much. Great video
Glad it was helpful!
Great job 👍🏻, but what about the (filter) for the inside air circulation!! I believe it's still missing 😔.
Beside no way to upgrade for installing one.
I was only able to stick a piece of thin sponge on the fan inlet side!
Thanks! The inside does not have any form of cabin air filter on the inside other than what you see in the video. BUT that would be a great idea to have a 2nd filter (or multiple) at each heated air vent to capture the other particles that may get through. At the same time, this would cost the manufacturer a lot of money adding mini filters at each heated vent...so unlikely they will do that. Hopefully future car models will think like Tesla and design a cabin filter that is just as great at capturing the pollutants that enter into the car.
❤❤❤👍👍👍✌
Thanks!

Where did you get the new insert off of?
I bought it online on ebay. But sometimes amzn has it as well. I left some links in the description of this video.
@@FixCarYourself thank you for getting back to me
where can I get that replacement?
Ebay i left a link in the description.
My 2008 charger has a empty slot weird
Lucky you...Just put a cabin filter in, and call it a day.
I go with swifter pads
better than nothing I guess.
Or lawn mower filter. Just cut in little square
thinking differently. I like that!
I have a srt8 2009 no cabin filter
Yep sounds right.
They tried to suffocate her.
Leaves galore
Yep
Where did you buy it at ?
Sometimes it's on Amazon or Ebay, but pricey. But it goes fast I think. I have some links in the description of this video.
thank you so much for this, i went and bought a filter and then realized theres no way to install it lol
yep. glad it helped!
Same lol
Too bad you nearly destroyed the Phillips head 1/4 turn fasteners! They are plastic so if they don't unscrew easily perhaps you should investigate further.
Nope their good. They are a weird looking piece though.
Are you whispering? Anyway, thank you for the video. Very helpful. Except the wiring harness for the motor should have ran over on the passengers side of the motor.
Glad it helped. As for the whispering, I think my neighbor was coming by and I don't like eavesdroppers and I didn't want to be bothered because I was trying to make this video.
Anyway, which motor should have been by the passenger side?
My car won’t shoot cold air could this be the reason? I have no cabin air filter
Nope. Maybe you need some Freon.
@@FixCarYourself tried that for some reason it won’t take Freon
Maybe its clogged or dirty the front grill area meaning the condenser. I've also heard it could be bad ac wire.
Ever find your issue? I have the same problem and was wondering if not having the filter had something to do with it. My refridg charge is good so I’m thinking it’s the condenser. Just wondering if you found your problem
@@MarcyMckeefer nah I replaced the condenser and it took some of the freeon and had a lil cold air but now it’s back to hot and they tryna tell me it’s the ac compressor
My 06 Srt8 doesn’t even have one
Sounds right to me.

I went hunting for one today, found it on a 2010 300 2.7, snagged it for like 10 bones
I’m sure there is the same air inlet on others but I haven’t checked yet.
Nice this should help others out!
@@FixCarYourself also I grabbed some auto/marine weather stripping that fit perfect around those plenum seals, if you drive in rain there is a lot of water trying to get into that area under the cowl, make sure that filter won’t drown
@@sackyhackMxO never had that problem with rain, and I get a lot of snow and rain.
Can’t you just stuff the filter inside there without changing it out?
It depends. If you live in an area where it rains a lot or you leave your car parked outside, then probably not as the filter could get wet. Also if the cabin filter is pushed/stuffed in...its not really tight on the area where the outside particles or leaves, etc., can enter into the car. So it would be mostly ineffective.
I thought about doing this as well, but the main problem is if the filter is not tight, then leaves will also get in between. Still better than nothing and probably ok to do if long if you don't have health problems. If so then it might just make more sense to buy the cabin filter housing unit.
@@FixCarYourself thanks on the response I seen that shit is 120 now ima try to get to a junk yard next week
@@seanf6968 I know expensive part. I'm guessing because it takes time to get to it.
Dodge Challenger SRT8 2009 is not in the list.
I'll add it. Others have said it works for Dodge Challenger models 2008-2010.
It needs a rain flap over it, or when the water runs off the windshield it will soak the filter.
Yep. The upgraded unit has the flap which prevents water from getting on it.
@@FixCarYourself 2009 charger had a flap without a solid hinge, they hinged it on the ends so it just sagged open, let the water right in.
@@WDIO-RADIO interesting.
185$??? for a piece of plastic? yeah ill just make one myself..
I don't blame you. Its pricey. They should have originally included this in thier vehicles!
Junkyards!!!!
I just laid the filter in front of the intake.
Poor design and leaves me to wonder how much AdHd these engineers really have.
Ita not adhd. Its called penny pinching and not caring about their customers health.
Bro Chrysler so garbage for not just including that
They wanted to save money, and don't care about customers health. That's a big reason why they went bankrupt. They didn't care.
@@FixCarYourself They did the same thing with some 300 models with hood struts. Mine only had a hood strut on the passenger side. I had to get a strut, and the little ball from an autowrecker car, then tap out the hole on the drivers side to the metric thread, to have two hood struts. I hope they go broke a third time.
I just bought a filter thinking it's an easy replacement...... good ol American cars and their unnecessary bullshite. Now I gotta take this to a mechanic for this crap
its really not that hard, just do each step slowly. happy to help if you have any questions along the way.
