Vehicle Fitment

• 2003–2007 Dodge Ram 2500 (5.9L L6 Cummins Diesel)
• 2003–2007 Dodge Ram 3500 (5.9L L6 Cummins Diesel)
• Compatible with manual and automatic transmissions
• Designed for turbocharged diesel applications

Performance & Design

Airflow Optimization: The intake system replaces the factory air box with a high-flow intake tract designed to reduce turbulence and restriction. Increased airflow volume allows the engine to breathe more efficiently, supporting improved combustion and power output.

Heat Shield Technology: The integrated heat shield isolates the intake from hot engine bay air, maintaining lower intake air temperatures during towing, extended idling, and highway driving. Cooler intake air supports consistent performance and improved engine efficiency.

Power Gains: Under optimal conditions, gains of up to 10% in horsepower and torque are possible. Actual performance improvements may vary based on vehicle condition, altitude, ambient temperature, fuel quality, and supporting modifications.

Construction & Materials

T304 Aluminum Construction: The intake tubing is manufactured from mandrel-bent T304 aluminum, offering superior corrosion resistance, durability, and heat tolerance for demanding diesel applications. This construction withstands extreme under-hood temperatures and vibration without degradation.

High-Flow Air Filter: The included washable and reusable air filter is engineered to maximize airflow while maintaining effective filtration. The large filter surface area supports high-volume air demand common in turbocharged diesel engines.

What’s Included

• T304 aluminum intake tube
• High-flow washable air filter
• Heat shield assembly
• Mounting brackets, clamps, and hardware
• Installation instructions

Installation

• Direct bolt-on replacement for factory air intake system
• No cutting or drilling required
• Uses factory mounting points
• Estimated installation time: under 60 minutes
• Basic hand tools required (screwdrivers and socket wrenches)

Installation Note: After installation, disconnect the negative battery terminal for approximately 30 seconds to allow the engine computer to reset and adapt to the increased airflow. Always install on a completely cool engine.

Filter Maintenance

Inspection Schedule: Inspect the air filter every 5,000 miles and clean if necessary. Driving conditions such as dusty environments, towing, off-road use, or heavy-load operation may require more frequent inspection and cleaning.

Cleaning Procedure: Remove the filter from the intake tube and gently tap to remove loose debris. Apply an appropriate air filter cleaning solution to both the inside and outside of the filter element, working it into the filter media. Allow the cleaner to soak for approximately 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with low-pressure water from the clean side outward until water runs clear. Shake off excess water and allow the filter to air dry completely in a clean environment. Once fully dry, apply air filter oil evenly according to product specifications and allow the oil to wick through the filter material for approximately 20 minutes before reinstalling. Ensure the filter is completely dry before applying oil.

Sound Characteristics

Intake Sound: The high-flow intake and open filter design produce a deeper, more aggressive induction sound during acceleration and boost while remaining controlled during normal cruising.
