Q: What vehicles does this intake manifold and EGR delete kit fit? A: This kit fits 2009–2024 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. It is not compatible with Cab & Chassis (C&C) models.
Q: Which year option should I select? A: Select the option that matches the model year of your truck: 2009–2012, 2013–2018, or 2019+. On this product page, the 2019+ option covers compatible 2019–2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks.
Q: What is included in this complete kit? A: The package combines a SPELAB intake manifold/horn, grid heater delete, EGR delete kit, and EGR throttle valve delete. The corresponding installation hardware and components are supplied according to the selected year version.
Q: What are the main features of the intake manifold? A: The intake manifold uses a 3-3/8-inch inlet, cast-aluminum construction, four 1/8-inch NPT ports, a forward-facing 45-degree sensor port, and an oversized intake path. Its compact design and near-180-degree bend are designed to reduce intake restriction and improve under-hood clearance.
Q: How does the integrated DDC base pipe bracket help with installation? A: The integrated bracket mounts directly to the engine without relying on the factory exhaust studs. This provides a secure mounting point and simplifies installation of the related base pipe components.
Q: What performance benefits can this kit provide? A: The oversized intake manifold is designed to increase airflow, reduce intake restriction and pressure drop, and support more consistent boost response under load. Actual horsepower, throttle response, fuel economy, and towing results depend on the truck's condition, supporting modifications, calibration, and operating conditions.
Q: Is engine tuning required after installation? A: The intake manifold itself is designed as a direct-fit upgrade without requiring additional tuning solely for manifold fitment. However, this complete package removes or bypasses factory EGR-related components, so compatible vehicle-specific calibration or diagnostic changes may be required. Confirm all installation and tuning requirements before beginning the work.
Q: Can this kit be installed on an otherwise stock truck? A: The intake manifold is designed for the compatible 6.7L Cummins platform and can work with related stock engine connections. The complete package changes the factory EGR, throttle valve, and grid heater configuration, so it should not be treated as a standard stock-emissions replacement.
Q: What materials are used in the kit? A: The intake manifold is made from cast aluminum alloy. The EGR intake block plate is CNC-machined from aluminum and features a polished finish with an engraved SPELAB logo.
Q: What does the grid heater delete address? A: The grid heater delete removes the factory grid heater assembly and its associated heater-bolt failure risk from the intake path. Trucks operated in cold climates may require an appropriate alternative cold-start solution, such as a compatible spiral heater, depending on the operating conditions.
Q: Can I install this kit myself? A: The kit includes installation components and instructions, but installation involves the intake, EGR, grid heater, coolant, fuel-line, sensor, and related engine-bay connections. Experienced DIY installation is possible, although professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with these systems.
Q: What should I check during installation? A: Confirm the correct year-specific version and compare all supplied parts with the installation instructions before beginning. During installation, check fuel-line and manifold clearance, coolant-hose routing, bolt length and mounting position, NPT port threads, sensor connections, and all clamps and seals. Make sure hoses are not kinked and lines do not rub against the intake manifold.
Q: Is this kit intended for street-driven vehicles? A: This package removes or bypasses factory emissions-related components and may affect emissions compliance, diagnostics, inspection eligibility, registration, or warranty coverage. It is intended for off-road, race, competition, agricultural, or industrial applications only where permitted by law. Check all applicable requirements before purchase or installation.
Confirm that the selected kit matches the truck's model year: 2009–2012, 2013–2018, or 2019+.
Verify that the vehicle is a Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine and is not a Cab & Chassis model.
Compare the supplied intake manifold, grid heater delete, EGR delete, throttle valve delete, hoses, plates, gaskets, bolts, clamps, and fittings with the applicable instructions.
Read both installation guides and review the installation videos before removing the factory components.
Confirm the vehicle-specific calibration, diagnostic, cold-start, and legal requirements for the completed configuration.
Brief Installation Process
Prepare the truck according to the installation guides and remove the related factory intake, grid heater, EGR, and throttle valve components.
Install the year-specific intake manifold and the supplied grid heater delete components.
Install the EGR block-off components, EGR throttle valve delete, hoses, brackets, sensors, and supplied hardware in their specified locations.
Reconnect the related fuel, coolant, intake, sensor, and boost connections according to the applicable guide.
Check all clamps, bolts, seals, plugs, lines, and electrical connections before operating the engine.
Installation Checks
Check that the fuel line does not rub against the intake manifold and has sufficient clearance.
Make sure the coolant hose follows a smooth route without kinking.
Confirm the correct bolt length and mounting position before tightening the block-off plates.
Inspect the four 1/8-inch NPT ports and their threads before installing sensors or plugs.
After installation, inspect the system for coolant, intake, boost, and connection leaks and check for diagnostic codes.

Stop choking your 6.7 Cummins. We explain why upgrading the intake horn boosts airflow, lowers EGTs, and prevents the catastrophic grid heater bolt failure. See the CFD analysis proof inside.
Everything seemed to be good except the supplied fuel line. After putting on the supplied fuel line the intake manifold would not go exactly into place so I had to bend the supplied fuel line in order to make the intake manifold fit. Where the supplied fuel line comes out of the engine, it should be bent a quarter inch sooner so that the customer does not have to bend it their self. As much as somebody pays for this stuff it should all fit without hassle. But other than that, pretty good.

Cummins EGR Delete
The kit was nice and included all hardware needed for the installation, but the instructions that are included could be better and more detailed for the hardware components and mounting locations. The coolant hose also could be improved to reduce any line kinks due to the angle the coolant stand pipe comes off of the block and over to the coolant line.

easy fit, fun install. Quality seems good.
combined it with the intake horn, new intercooler and pipe kit. added the valve cover. Seems to function well. instructions were adequate- could be better. I assume a few of the complaints on the reviews may have been instruction related. We will see how it compares- ran stock for 230k- will try this now.

Great upgrade and nice quality
Everything went well I am very happy that the Grid Heater Grenade is gone. I received everything in good order the fit and finish on the products were very good.
The instructions were good however for old people like me full size would be better than the little book. I had a hard time with the 1/8" plugs that go in the manifold due to the powder coat restricting the threads I ran a tap thru but it did burn up some time. Overall very happy with the products I would order this kit again.

For the most part everything fits well. had 2 main issues. 1st the provided bolts for the plate that goes on top of the ram air intake are not long enough stripped the hole out, had to tap it and go buy longer bolts. 2nd the coolant bypass hose kept kinking when trying to run it, went to the parts store to get a 90 and some pipe clamp fittings. Would highly recommend adding longer bolts and a 90 to the kit other then that have had everything installed for a few months and no complaints.

Intake horn
Very impressed with the quality. Install was straight forward. Everything went together smoothly. Could tell an immediate difference from my clogged stock intake. The egr kit was a must as well. Made installing my egt probe super simple. No more air problems for me. Definitely recommend.
