Air Intake Elbow for (1994-1998) Dodge Ram 2500 3500 5.9L 12V Diesel Engine Black

Cold Air Intake for Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 (1994–1998) 5.9L 12V Cummins Diesel

Unlock the true potential of the legendary 12-valve 5.9L Cummins Diesel with this precision-engineered cold air intake system. Revered for its mechanical simplicity and bulletproof reliability, the 12V Cummins is a favorite among truck enthusiasts, yet it is often stifled by a restrictive factory air box designed for silence rather than power. This upgrade replaces the stock assembly with a high-velocity induction path, allowing your engine to breathe freely and delivering a boost in horsepower and torque by up to 10%.

By capturing cooler, denser air from outside the engine compartment, this system optimizes the combustion process for more efficient power delivery.¹ Whether you are hauling heavy equipment, towing a trailer, or simply cruising the open road, you will notice a significant improvement in throttle response and smoother turbo spool-up. The increased airflow efficiency doesn't just add power; it also supports better fuel economy, ensuring your classic Ram operates at peak efficiency.

The system is constructed from premium T304 lightweight aluminum piping, providing a durable and heat-resistant channel for incoming air. The smooth internal surfaces significantly reduce airflow turbulence compared to the factory setup, promoting consistent air delivery to the engine.² Under load, the intake rewards the driver with a deep, throaty induction note and that signature turbo whistle that defines the Cummins driving experience.

Maintenance is simplified with the high-flow synthetic air filter. Engineered for superior filtration and maximum air volume, this filter protects your engine from dust and debris while allowing for a much higher air mass flow than standard paper filters. Because the filter is fully washable and reusable, it requires cleaning only every 50,000 miles under normal conditions, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to disposable components.

This intake system is designed as a direct-fit performance solution that installs in less than 60 minutes using basic hand tools. It utilizes factory mounting points for a secure, professional fit and is engineered to work within factory parameters, ensuring it functions seamlessly with your vehicle's existing setup without voiding warranties.
