- Improves the flow of oxygen-rich air into the engine cylinders for better combustion.
- Delivers quicker throttle response for a more immediate driving experience.
- Optimizes air pressure and distribution throughout the intake system.
- Outflows the stock intake by over 88.3%, ensuring superior air delivery.
- Features a 3-3/8 inch inlet to accommodate increased airflow demands.
- Includes four 1/8 inch NPT ports for additional sensor or accessory integration.
- Maintains compatibility with all factory mounting points for straightforward installation.
- Comes with a proprietary fuel line and all necessary hardware for a complete upgrade.
- Available in durable red powder-coated, black, or raw finish options to suit your style.
Construction & Design
The Monster-Ram Intake System is crafted from high-quality cast materials designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty diesel applications. Its robust construction replaces the fragile factory grid heater with a solid cast intake plate, eliminating a common failure point and enhancing long-term reliability. The system’s design focuses on maximizing airflow while maintaining structural integrity and heat resistance. Precision engineering ensures that the intake fits perfectly within the factory mounting points, preserving OEM fit and finish while delivering superior performance.
Performance & Sound
By significantly increasing airflow and optimizing boost pressure, the Monster-Ram Intake System enhances throttle response and overall engine efficiency. Drivers will notice a more immediate and responsive feel when accelerating, along with improved fuel economy under normal driving conditions. While primarily focused on performance gains, the intake’s design also contributes to a cleaner, more efficient combustion process, which can positively affect engine sound by reducing intake restrictions and turbulence.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
