Construction & Design

The intake system features a mandrel-bent aluminum tube, which ensures smooth, unrestricted airflow by minimizing turbulence and pressure drops. Aluminum construction not only provides strength and corrosion resistance but also helps dissipate heat, keeping intake air temperatures lower for better combustion efficiency. The oversized air filter uses oiled cotton gauze media, which is carefully layered to trap contaminants while allowing maximum airflow. This combination of materials and engineering results in a durable, high-quality intake system built to withstand the rigors of daily driving and performance use.

Performance & Sound

By increasing the volume and quality of air entering the engine, the K&N 77 Series Cold Air Intake delivers an estimated horsepower gain of 10.14 HP at 5436 RPM and an estimated torque increase of 9.5 lb-ft. This translates to improved throttle response and enhanced engine efficiency. Additionally, the intake system produces a subtle, aggressive induction sound that enhances the driving experience without being overpowering.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the K&N 77 Series Cold Air Intake is straightforward and can typically be completed in 60 minutes or less using simple hand tools. The system is designed as a direct replacement for the factory air intake components, requiring no permanent modifications or cutting. This ensures a hassle-free upgrade that maintains the integrity of the vehicle’s original setup. The intake fits all 2011 through 2018 Ram 1500 models equipped with the 4.7L V8 engine.
