It is perfect for Ram TRX owners who want a direct bolt-on upgrade that balances power, sound, and durability without compromising fitment or requiring modifications.

Key Features

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Orange Cold Air Intake incorporates several innovative features that contribute to its superior performance and ease of use:

• Massive 18-inch tall, 360-degree radial flow air filter with five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze media for maximum filtration and airflow
• Pre-oiled Black Pro 5R filter media designed for both street and track applications
• Open-element orange XLPE polymer housing that minimizes heat soak and incorporates factory hood air inlet scoop and grille inlet for optimal cold air wash
• Computer-designed, dyno-tuned intake tube made from heat-resistant XLPE material for durability and maximum power gains
• Stainless-steel T-bolt clamps and premium silicone couplings for secure, flexible, and durable sealing
• Outflows factory intake by 32%, with measured flow of 725 CFM at 7" H2O
• Direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points with no cutting or drilling required
• Washable and reusable air filter for long-term maintenance and cost savings

Construction & Design

The intake system features a robust one-piece housing constructed from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a polymer known for its excellent heat resistance and durability. This material helps reduce heat soak, ensuring the engine receives cooler, denser air for improved combustion efficiency. The bright orange housing not only adds a visual upgrade under the hood but also integrates seamlessly with the factory hood scoop and grille air inlet, maintaining OEM airflow pathways without additional hardware.

The air filter itself is a standout component, measuring 18 inches tall and wrapped in expanded metal for structural integrity and protection against impact or collapse. The five-layer cotton gauze media is pre-oiled and designed to trap contaminants while allowing maximum airflow, making it suitable for high-performance driving conditions.

Performance & Sound

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 intake is dyno-proven to deliver up to +21 horsepower and +19 lb-ft of torque gains over the stock intake. Its open-element design not only improves airflow but also produces a more aggressive and sporty intake sound that enhances the driving experience. This intake system is engineered to optimize the supercharged 6.2L engine’s breathing capabilities, resulting in improved throttle response and overall engine performance.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and hassle-free, utilizing all factory mounting locations to ensure a perfect fit without the need for cutting, drilling, or additional modifications. The system’s design allows for a direct bolt-on process that typically takes about 60 minutes, making it accessible for enthusiasts with basic mechanical skills. Premium stainless-steel clamps and silicone couplings provide a secure seal and flexibility during installation.

This intake is specifically designed to fit the 2021 through 2023 Ram 1500 TRX models equipped with the 6.2L supercharged engine, guaranteeing compatibility and optimal performance.
