aFe BladeRunner Intake Manifold

2007.5–2018 Dodge & RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins

Part #: 46-10071-1

Overview

The aFe BladeRunner Intake Manifold is engineered to elevate the performance of your 6.7L Cummins-powered Dodge or RAM 2500/3500 trucks from 2007.5 through 2018. Designed for diesel enthusiasts seeking enhanced airflow and power gains, this intake manifold represents a significant upgrade over the factory unit. By optimizing air delivery to the engine, the BladeRunner improves throttle response and overall engine efficiency, making it an ideal choice for those looking to maximize their truck’s potential without extensive modifications.

Built with advanced technology and precision engineering, the BladeRunner intake manifold is perfect for daily drivers, performance enthusiasts, and those running additional performance accessories such as nitrous oxide systems. Its design maintains compatibility with the stock EGR valve, ensuring emissions compliance and ease of integration.

Key Features

The BladeRunner intake manifold incorporates several innovative features that set it apart from standard factory manifolds:

• Patented MDV (Multiple Directional Vane) Technology: Splits incoming air into multiple streams to increase air velocity and improve throttle response.
• 34% Increased Airflow: Outflows the factory intake manifold, resulting in up to 11 horsepower and 27 lb-ft of torque gains.
• Five Auxiliary Port Pads: Includes two 1/8" NPT tapped ports for nitrous injection, gauges, or temperature sensors.
• Pass-Through Bolt Design: Uses allen head bolts that pass through the manifold to maximize air volume and ensure a secure seal.
• Retention of Stock EGR Valve: Allows for emissions compliance and easy integration with factory components.
• Black Powder Coat Finish: Provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface with a sleek appearance.
• Hassle-Free Installation: Bolts directly to the factory location using the stock dipstick position, with all necessary hardware included.

Construction & Design

The BladeRunner intake manifold is crafted from high-quality 808 aluminum alloy, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and durability. This lightweight yet robust material ensures the manifold withstands the rigors of high-performance diesel applications while minimizing added weight. The manifold’s internal design features a proprietary bolt configuration that eliminates leaks and deformities, ensuring a solid, airtight seal.

Its black powder coat finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also adds a refined aesthetic that complements the engine bay. The manifold’s design focuses on maximizing airflow efficiency through the use of the patented MDV technology, which directs air through multiple channels to optimize velocity and distribution.

Performance & Sound

In rigorous testing, the BladeRunner intake manifold demonstrated a 34% increase in airflow compared to the stock manifold. This improvement translates to measurable power gains of up to 11 horsepower and 27 lb-ft of torque, enhancing acceleration and overall engine responsiveness. The improved air velocity also contributes to a more immediate throttle response, making the driving experience more engaging and dynamic.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the BladeRunner intake manifold is straightforward and designed to fit directly onto the factory mounting points of 2007.5–2018 Dodge and RAM 2500/3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. The manifold utilizes the stock dipstick location, eliminating the need for modifications or custom fittings. All necessary hardware is included to ensure a smooth, hassle-free installation process.

Please note that gaskets are not included and must be purchased separately (part number 46-10075).
