aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake Pro 5R Filter

2019–2023 RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins

Part #: 54-13046R

Overview

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake with Pro 5R Filter is engineered specifically for the 2019–2023 RAM 2500 and 3500 equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Designed to maximize airflow and enhance engine performance, this intake system delivers significant power gains while maintaining reliable street use durability. It is ideal for diesel truck owners seeking improved throttle response, increased horsepower, and enhanced engine efficiency without compromising daily drivability.

This intake system replaces the restrictive factory air intake with a high-flow, large surface area filter and a dyno-tuned intake tube, providing your Cummins engine with cooler, denser air for optimized combustion. The result is a more responsive engine with potential improvements in fuel economy and towing capability.

Key Features

The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake combines advanced filtration technology with durable construction and precision engineering to deliver superior performance:

• Large 9-inch tall, 360-degree radial flow air filter with a 5" flange for maximum airflow
• Pro 5R pre-oiled media featuring five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze for superior filtration and performance
• Inverted filter top design increases filter surface area for longer service intervals
• Open-element XLPE polymer housing minimizes heat soak and blocks warm engine air
• Dyno-tuned, computer-designed intake tube made from heat-resistant XLPE material for durability and optimal airflow
• Custom high-temperature silicone bellows coupling ensures a secure connection to the turbocharger
• Utilizes factory air inlet with no additional hardware required
• Patent-pending filter-to-housing interface reduces part count and simplifies assembly
• Direct-fit design requires no cutting or modifications

Construction & Design

The intake system features a massive air filter constructed with a five-layer Pro 5R cotton gauze media that is pre-oiled for immediate use and enhanced filtration efficiency. The inverted top design increases the filter’s surface area, allowing for extended service intervals and consistent airflow. Surrounding the filter is a robust open-element housing made from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a polymer known for its heat resistance and durability. This housing effectively blocks hot engine air while allowing easy visual inspection of the filter.

The intake tube is precision-engineered using computer-aided design and dyno tuning to optimize airflow and power gains. Made from heat-soak resistant XLPE, the tube maintains structural integrity under high under-hood temperatures. A custom silicone bellows coupling connects the intake tube directly to the turbocharger, ensuring a secure, leak-free fit that withstands thermal expansion and vibration.

Performance & Sound

The Stage-2 Cold Air Intake is designed to increase airflow volume and reduce intake air temperatures, resulting in improved combustion efficiency and power output. By delivering cooler, denser air to the engine, this system can enhance throttle response and overall engine performance. The open-element design also produces a more aggressive intake sound, providing an enhanced driving experience without excessive noise.

Installation & Fitment

This intake system is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory air intake on 2019–2023 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine. It uses all factory mounting points and requires no cutting, drilling, or modifications. Installation is straightforward and can be completed with basic hand tools. All necessary clamps, couplings, and hardware are included to ensure a hassle-free setup.

What's Included

• 9" tall Pro 5R radial flow air filter (pre-oiled)
• Open-element XLPE polymer air filter housing
• Dyno-tuned XLPE intake tube
