AFE Magnum Force Stage-2 Cold Air Intake: Dodge RAM 1500 TRX 6.2L 2021 - 2023
aFe Magnum Force Stage-2 Cold Air Intake
2021–2023 Ram 1500 TRX 6.2L
Part #: 54-13072R
Overview
The aFe Magnum Force Stage-2 Cold Air Intake is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2021–2023 Ram 1500 TRX equipped with the 6.2L engine. This intake system enhances your truck’s airflow, delivering improved horsepower and torque while providing a more aggressive intake sound. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking both street and track performance, the Stage-2 Cold Air Intake offers a perfect balance of power gains, filtration efficiency, and ease of maintenance.
Engineered to maximize cold air delivery by utilizing both the factory hood scoop and grille inlet, this intake system ensures your TRX breathes cooler, denser air for optimal combustion and throttle response. Whether you’re looking to boost daily driving performance or enhance your off-road and track capabilities, this intake is a reliable and effective solution.
Key Features
The aFe Magnum Force Stage-2 Cold Air Intake combines advanced engineering with premium materials to deliver superior performance and durability. Key features include:
- Massive open-element air filter housed in a durable, heat-resistant XLPE polymer enclosure
- Dual air inlets that utilize both factory hood scoop and grille inlet for maximum cold air capture
- Dyno-tuned intake tube crafted from heat-resistant XLPE for optimized airflow and power output
- Premium stainless-steel T-bolt clamps and high-quality silicone couplings for secure, leak-free connections
- Outflows factory intake by up to 32%, significantly increasing airflow capacity
- Washable and reusable filter options for easy maintenance and long-term use
- Designed for a direct bolt-in installation with no cutting or drilling required
Filter Options
This intake system offers two high-performance filter media options to suit different user preferences and driving conditions:
- Pro DRY S (Dry, Oil-Free): Features three layers of progressive synthetic media, ideal for street use and easy maintenance. It provides excellent filtration and dust-holding capacity without the need for oiling—simply wash and reuse.
- Pro 5R (Pre-Oiled): Designed for maximum performance with five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze media. Suitable for street and track use, this filter allows the highest airflow, delivering the greatest horsepower and torque gains.
Construction & Design
The intake system is built with a one-piece open-element housing made from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a heat-resistant polymer that withstands engine bay temperatures while protecting the air filter. This robust enclosure not only enhances the aggressive intake sound but also allows for quick visual inspection of the filter element.
The intake tube is precision-engineered using computer-aided design and constructed from the same heat-resistant XLPE material. This ensures optimal airflow dynamics and a perfect factory-like fit, maintaining the integrity of your Ram 1500 TRX’s engine bay layout.
Performance & Sound
Dyno-proven gains demonstrate the effectiveness of the Magnum Force Stage-2 Cold Air Intake. With the Pro 5R filter, expect up to +21 horsepower and +19 lb-ft of torque, while the Pro DRY S filter delivers up to +19 horsepower and +17 lb-ft of torque. The system increases airflow by up to 32% over the factory intake, resulting in improved throttle response and engine efficiency.
The open-element design also enhances the intake sound, providing a more aggressive and sporty engine note that complements the TRX’s performance character.
Installation & Fitment
This intake system is designed for a hassle-free installation experience. It bolts directly into the factory mounting locations without the need for cutting, drilling, or additional modifications. The low-part-count design simplifies the installation process, allowing most users to complete the upgrade in approximately 60 minutes using basic hand tools.
By utilizing the factory hood scoop and grille inlet, the system ensures maximum cold air delivery while maintaining a clean, factory-like appearance under the hood.
What's Included
- One-piece XLPE open-element air filter housing
- Pro DRY S or Pro 5R air filter (depending on selected option)
- Dyno-tuned XLPE intake tube
- Premium silicone couplings
- Stainless-steel T-bolt clamps
- All necessary mounting hardware and installation instructions
Ideal For
The aFe Magnum Force Stage-2 Cold Air Intake is ideal for Ram 1500 TRX owners who want to enhance their truck’s performance without compromising reliability or requiring complex modifications. It suits daily drivers seeking improved throttle response and fuel efficiency, as well as enthusiasts who demand maximum airflow and power gains for spirited street or track driving.
