• Pro 5R air filter featuring five layers of oiled, progressive cotton media for maximum filtration and airflow
• Unique integrated filter-to-housing design for a secure fit and streamlined airflow path
• Silicone bellows coupling to absorb engine movement and ensure easy installation
• Lightweight injection-molded base and top for rigidity and reduced weight
• Captive screws to prevent lost hardware and secure the filter firmly to the housing
• Built-in, three-angle velocity stack in the base for smooth, even airflow delivery
• Inverted top filter design increases surface area for longer filter life and enhanced appearance

Construction & Design

The Quantum Pro Cold Air Intake is crafted using high-impact XLPE material for the intake tube, providing excellent heat soak resistance and durability under demanding conditions. The injection-molded base and top components are engineered for lightweight strength and precision fitment. The system’s design incorporates a CAD-tuned intake tube optimized for maximum airflow efficiency, contributing to the intake’s overall performance gains.

The Pro 5R filter is constructed with five layers of premium cotton gauze media, oiled and arranged progressively to balance filtration and airflow. The silicone bellows coupling adds flexibility and durability, accommodating engine movement without compromising the intake’s seal or fit.

Performance & Sound

By increasing airflow by 32% over the factory intake, the aFe Quantum Pro Cold Air Intake delivers noticeable power improvements, with dyno-tested gains of up to 16 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque. This enhanced airflow also improves throttle response and engine efficiency. Additionally, the intake produces a more aggressive induction sound, giving your Ram a sportier engine note without excessive drone.

Installation & Fitment

This intake system is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory intake on 2009–2018 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks with the 5.7L Hemi engine.
