K&N Engineering Charge Pipe

2019–2026 Ram 2500 / 3500

77-1003KC

Overview:

The K&N Engineering Gunmetal Gray Powder Coated Aluminum Charge Pipe is a premium upgrade designed specifically for the 2019 through 2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 models. This charge pipe replaces the restrictive factory intercooler piping on turbocharged Ram trucks, providing a more efficient airflow path from the turbocharger through the intercooler. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking to improve throttle response, reduce turbo lag, and enhance overall engine performance, this charge pipe is engineered to optimize turbocharged air pressure and increase airflow volume.

Built for durability and performance, the K&N charge pipe offers a direct bolt-on solution that integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing turbo system. It is also an excellent foundation for further performance upgrades, including K&N’s range of cold air intake systems, allowing for a comprehensive approach to maximizing your Ram’s power potential.

Key Features:

Designed with precision and performance in mind, the K&N charge pipe offers several key benefits:

• Mandrel-bent aluminum tubing for smooth, unrestricted airflow
• Gunmetal gray powder coated finish for corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance
• Engineered to reduce turbocharged air pressure loss and increase airflow efficiency
• Lightweight construction to minimize added weight in the engine bay
• Direct replacement for factory intercooler piping with no modifications required
• Compatible with K&N cold air intake systems for enhanced horsepower gains
• Easy installation using common hand tools
• Backed by K&N’s No-Hassle Lifetime Limited Warranty

Construction & Design:

The charge pipe is crafted from high-quality aluminum, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal conductivity. The mandrel-bent design ensures smooth bends without internal restrictions, maintaining consistent airflow velocity and reducing turbulence. The gunmetal gray powder coated finish not only provides a durable protective layer against corrosion and heat but also adds a refined, aggressive look to the engine compartment. Every aspect of the pipe’s construction is engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of turbocharged applications while delivering reliable performance over time.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the factory intercooler piping with this free-flowing aluminum charge pipe, turbocharged air pressure loss is minimized, allowing the turbocharger to operate more efficiently. This results in improved throttle response and can contribute to increased horsepower and torque under boost conditions. While the charge pipe itself does not significantly alter engine sound, it supports the overall performance enhancements when combined with other intake and exhaust upgrades.

Installation & Fitment:

The K&N charge pipe is designed for a straightforward installation process on 2019–2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with turbocharged engines. It installs using commonly available hand tools and requires no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications to your vehicle. The kit includes all necessary hardware and detailed instructions to ensure a secure and proper fit. Installation time is typically under an hour for most users with basic mechanical skills.

What's Included:

• Gunmetal gray powder coated aluminum charge pipe
• All necessary mounting hardware and clamps
• Detailed installation instructions

Ideal For:

This charge pipe is ideal for Ram 2500 and 3500 owners looking to improve turbocharger efficiency and engine performance without extensive modifications. It suits daily drivers seeking better throttle response as well as enthusiasts building performance trucks with upgraded intake and exhaust components. Additionally, it is a great choice for those wanting to enhance the engine bay aesthetics with a durable, visually appealing component.
