aFe Magnum FORCE Cold Air Intake System

1994–2001 Dodge Ram 5.2L & 5.9L V8

Part #: 54-10112

Overview

The aFe Magnum FORCE Cold Air Intake System is a precision-engineered upgrade designed specifically for Dodge Ram trucks equipped with the 5.2L and 5.9L V8 engines from 1994 to 2001. This intake system replaces the restrictive factory setup, allowing your engine to breathe more efficiently by drawing in cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay. The result is improved combustion, enhanced throttle response, and noticeable gains in horsepower and torque.

Ideal for Dodge Ram owners seeking a reliable performance enhancement without compromising daily drivability, the Magnum FORCE intake balances power, sound, and durability. Its direct-fit design ensures a straightforward installation process, making it accessible for both professional installers and experienced enthusiasts.

Key Features

The Magnum FORCE Cold Air Intake System incorporates advanced design and premium materials to maximize airflow and engine efficiency. Key features include:

• Up to 8 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque gains over the factory intake
• Durable 18-gauge powder-coated steel heat shield to protect intake air from engine heat
• Washable and reusable Pro 5R conical air filter made from 100% polyurethane
• Heat-insulating roto-molded intake tube replacing the stock intake tract
• Improved volumetric efficiency for increased airflow and engine performance
• One-piece heat shield design requiring minimal assembly
• Multiple cleaning cycles for the air filter to ensure long service life

Construction & Design

The intake system features a robust 18-gauge steel heat shield finished with a black powder coat to resist corrosion and manage heat effectively. The roto-molded intake tube is engineered to insulate incoming air from engine heat, maintaining cooler air temperatures for optimal combustion efficiency. The Pro 5R air filter is crafted from high-quality polyurethane, offering durability and flexibility for repeated cleanings without sacrificing filtration performance.

Every component is precision-engineered to fit perfectly within the Dodge Ram’s engine bay, ensuring a secure installation and an optimized airflow path. The design minimizes turbulence and maximizes volumetric efficiency, contributing to improved throttle response and power delivery.

Performance & Sound

This cold air intake system delivers measurable performance improvements, providing up to 8 additional horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque compared to the stock intake. By reducing airflow restriction, the engine breathes more freely, resulting in quicker acceleration and enhanced overall responsiveness. Additionally, the Magnum FORCE intake produces a more aggressive induction sound, giving your Dodge Ram a subtle yet sporty engine note that enriches the driving experience without being intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Magnum FORCE Cold Air Intake System is designed as a direct replacement for the factory intake on 1994–2001 Dodge Ram trucks with 5.2L and 5.9L V8 engines.
