Product Highlights

Coordinated Intake and Charge-Air Package

The intake manifold, intercooler and year-specific piping are supplied as one matched package to reduce the need to source the main intake-system components separately.

Designed to Reduce Intake Restriction

The optimized manifold and intercooler-pipe layout is designed to support increased airflow, quicker turbo response and stronger throttle response. Actual results depend on the truck's condition, calibration and supporting modifications.

Grid Heater and EGR System Changes

The included grid heater and EGR-related components address common restriction and carbon-buildup concerns in the factory intake path. The final configuration must be matched to the vehicle, climate and calibration.

Durable Multi-Material Construction

Components use materials currently described on the page as cast aluminum, aluminum alloy, carbon steel or stainless steel, together with multi-layer silicone couplers and high-strength clamps.

Year-Specific Fitment

Separate 2007.5-2009, 2010-2012 and 2013-2018 packages account for changes in the intercooler, charge piping and EGR-related hardware across the supported model years.

Who This Kit Is Best For

This package is best suited to owners building a coordinated intake and charge-air system on a supported 2007.5-2018 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup, especially when the project already calls for an intake manifold, grid heater delete, intercooler, charge pipes and the applicable EGR hardware.

It is not intended for a 2007 5.9L truck, Ram 4500/5500, or cab-and-chassis application. Buyers who need only one component should compare the linked individual products before selecting the complete kit.

Kit Specifications

Expected Performance

The current product information describes increased airflow, quicker turbo spool, lower exhaust gas temperatures, improved throttle response, reduced intake carbon buildup and potential fuel-economy benefits. The amount of change varies with vehicle condition, calibration, supporting modifications, load and driving conditions; no specific horsepower, airflow or fuel-economy gain is guaranteed.
