Key Features

The aFe Quantum Cold Air Intake System incorporates several innovative features designed to boost performance and durability:

• 360-degree radial flow Pro 5R air filter with five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze media for maximum filtration and airflow
• 5-inch flange and inverted top design to increase filter surface area and extend service intervals
• Injection molded base and top for lightweight strength and rigidity
• Built-in 3-angle velocity stack in the filter base for smooth, even airflow
• Integrated filter-to-housing design secured with four captive screws for a positive seal and easy maintenance
• Durable sealed housing featuring a distinctive five-rib industrial-grade appearance
• Dyno-tuned, computer-designed intake tube made from heat-resistant XLPE polymer for optimal airflow and fitment
• Flexible bellows-style coupling and reinforced ribbed silicone coupling for secure connections and vibration resistance
• Direct-fit installation using factory mounting points with no cutting or modifications required
• Complete hardware kit including clamps, couplings, and screws for a hassle-free installation

Construction & Design

The Quantum Cold Air Intake System is built with premium materials and precision engineering to ensure durability and performance. The air filter features a multi-layer cotton gauze media that is pre-oiled for immediate use and superior filtration. Its injection molded base and top provide a lightweight yet rigid structure that withstands the rigors of daily driving and off-road conditions.

The intake tube is crafted from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a polymer known for its excellent heat resistance and toughness, reducing heat soak and maintaining cooler air temperatures for improved combustion. The system’s housing is sealed and reinforced with a unique five-rib design, enhancing structural integrity and providing a professional, high-quality appearance.

Performance & Sound

By increasing the volume and quality of airflow to the engine, the aFe Quantum Cold Air Intake System helps unlock additional horsepower and torque potential in the 6.7L Cummins diesel. The smooth velocity stack and optimized intake tube design reduce turbulence and restriction, promoting more efficient air delivery. Additionally, the intake imparts a subtle, aggressive induction sound that enhances the driving experience without being overly loud or intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

This intake system is designed as a direct replacement for the factory air intake on 2007.5–2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Installation is straightforward and can typically be completed with basic hand tools in under an hour. The system uses existing factory mounting points and requires no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking a clean, professional installation.
