Part #: 46-20818-B

Overview

The aFe BladeRunner AL Hot Charge Pipe is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2025–2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 equipped with the 6.7L diesel engine. Engineered to optimize airflow and reduce turbo lag, this charge pipe replaces the factory unit with a smooth, mandrel-bent aluminum construction that enhances throttle response and overall engine efficiency. Ideal for diesel truck enthusiasts seeking improved power delivery and durability, this component supports enhanced horsepower and torque while maintaining reliable operation under demanding conditions.

Whether you are looking to maximize your truck’s towing capability or simply want a more responsive driving experience, the BladeRunner AL Hot Charge Pipe offers a direct-fit solution that integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing turbo system.

Key Features

Designed with precision and durability in mind, the aFe BladeRunner AL Hot Charge Pipe includes several advanced features that set it apart from the stock charge pipe:

• Mandrel-bent aluminum tubing for smooth airflow and reduced turbulence
• Wrinkle black powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance and a custom appearance
• Laser-etched aFe POWER logo for a distinctive, high-quality look
• Heavy-duty, 5-ply polyester reinforced silicone couplings for superior strength and flexibility
• Stainless-steel, spring-loaded T-Bolt clamps to ensure a secure, leak-free connection
• Engineered to minimize pressure loss and maximize boost efficiency
• Direct bolt-on fitment for 2025–2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 6.7L diesel models

Construction & Design

The BladeRunner AL Hot Charge Pipe is crafted from high-grade aluminum, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and heat dissipation properties. The mandrel-bent design maintains a consistent diameter throughout the pipe, eliminating sharp bends and restrictions that can cause airflow disruption. This results in smoother transitions and reduced turbo lag.

To protect against corrosion and wear, the pipe is finished with a durable wrinkle black powder coating that also adds a sleek, aggressive aesthetic under the hood. The silicone couplings are reinforced with five layers of polyester fabric, ensuring they withstand high boost pressures and temperature extremes without cracking or collapsing. Stainless-steel T-Bolt clamps provide a robust and reliable seal, preventing boost leaks and maintaining optimal performance.

Performance & Sound

By reducing turbulence and pressure loss in the intake system, the aFe BladeRunner AL Hot Charge Pipe helps improve turbocharger efficiency. This translates to quicker spool times, enhanced throttle response, and increased horsepower and torque output. While primarily focused on performance gains, the upgraded charge pipe can also contribute to a more aggressive induction sound, enhancing the driving experience without adding unwanted noise.

Installation & Fitment

This charge pipe is designed for a direct bolt-on installation with no modifications required, making it a straightforward upgrade for owners of 2025–2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L diesel engine. All necessary hardware is included, and the installation can typically be completed with basic hand tools. The precise fitment ensures a secure connection to the turbo system and intercooler piping, maintaining factory reliability and ease of maintenance.
