2011–2024 Ram 1500 / Ram 1500 Classic
46-20498-B
Overview:
The aFe BladeRunner 3-inch Aluminum Hot Charge Pipe is a premium upgrade designed to enhance the performance and reliability of your Ram 1500 or Ram 1500 Classic from 2011 through 2024. Crafted for enthusiasts seeking improved airflow and throttle response, this hot charge pipe replaces the restrictive factory component with a smooth, mandrel-bent aluminum design. It reduces turbulence and pressure loss, resulting in increased horsepower and torque for a more responsive driving experience. Finished in a durable wrinkle black powder coat with a laser-etched aFe POWER logo, it also adds a custom, aggressive look under the hood.
Key Features:
Engineered for durability and performance, the BladeRunner Hot Charge Pipe includes several advanced features that set it apart:
Construction & Design:
The BladeRunner Hot Charge Pipe is constructed from high-grade aluminum, chosen for its lightweight properties and excellent heat dissipation. The mandrel-bent design maintains consistent internal diameter throughout bends, preventing airflow restrictions common in factory pipes. Coupled with reinforced silicone couplings, this setup withstands high boost pressures and extreme under-hood temperatures without cracking or collapsing. The wrinkle black powder coat finish not only protects against corrosion but also enhances thermal management, helping to keep intake air temperatures lower for improved engine efficiency.
Performance & Sound
By optimizing airflow and reducing pressure drop, this hot charge pipe contributes to noticeable gains in horsepower and torque. The improved throttle response and smoother boost delivery enhance overall engine performance. While primarily focused on efficiency, the upgraded pipe can also contribute to a subtle change in intake sound, providing a more aggressive and refined engine note during acceleration.
Installation & Fitment:
Designed as a direct replacement for the factory hot charge pipe, the aFe BladeRunner fits a wide range of Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic models from 2011 to 2024. Installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications, making it suitable for both professional installers and experienced enthusiasts. The included stainless-steel T-bolt clamps and reinforced silicone couplings ensure a secure, leak-free connection that maintains boost integrity.
What's Included:
Ideal For:
This hot charge pipe is ideal for Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic owners looking to improve their truck’s performance, reliability, and under-hood aesthetics. It suits daily drivers, weekend warriors, and those who have upgraded other intake or turbo components and want to maximize airflow efficiency. Additionally, it supports enthusiasts who use water or methanol injection systems, thanks to the integrated sensor port.
aFe POWER (Advanced FLOW Engineering) offers dyno-proven intake, filtration, and exhaust upgrades aimed at measurable performance gains. The brand’s lineup is geared toward enthusiasts looking for better airflow, improved sound, and durable materials—from cold air intakes to stainless exhaust systems for street and track applications.
