Construction & Design

The Monster-Ram Intake System is crafted from high-quality materials designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use. Its cast intake plate replaces the fragile factory grid heater, eliminating a common failure point and enhancing durability. The intake elbow is precision-engineered to optimize airflow dynamics, featuring a smooth, large-diameter inlet that reduces turbulence and maximizes oxygen delivery to the engine.

The vibrant red powder coat finish not only provides a striking appearance under the hood but also protects against corrosion and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.

Performance & Sound

By significantly increasing airflow and improving air distribution, the Monster-Ram Intake System enhances throttle response and engine efficiency. Drivers will notice a more immediate and responsive feel when accelerating, along with potential improvements in fuel economy. The system raises boost pressure without additional turbine stress, contributing to smoother and more powerful engine operation.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct replacement for the factory intake elbow, the Monster-Ram installs easily using existing mounting points with no modifications required. The kit includes all necessary hardware and proprietary fuel line components to ensure a seamless installation process. This intake system fits 2013 through 2018 RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine.
