2009–2024 Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 5.7L V8 Hemi
Part #: 50-1561D
Overview
The K&N NextGen Dryflow Cold Air Intake is a precision-engineered performance upgrade designed specifically for Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models equipped with the 5.7L V8 Hemi engine from 2009 through 2024. This intake system enhances your truck’s breathing capability by increasing airflow volume, resulting in noticeable gains in horsepower and torque without the need for an engine tune. Ideal for Ram owners seeking improved throttle response, better engine efficiency, and a reliable upgrade that lasts, this intake system combines advanced materials and innovative design to deliver consistent performance on and off the road.
Key Features
Engineered to optimize airflow and durability, the K&N NextGen Dryflow Cold Air Intake offers a range of benefits that enhance your Ram’s performance and maintenance convenience:
- 35.7% increase in airflow volume (CFM gain) for improved engine breathing
- Boosts horsepower by approximately 14.0 hp and torque by 15.1 lb-ft with no tuning required
- Washable, reusable Dryflow air filter with oil-free synthetic media for easy maintenance
- Oversized conical filter design allows up to 50,000 miles between cleanings under normal highway driving
- Custom NextGen air box shields intake air from engine bay heat to maintain cooler, denser air
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE) rotationally molded intake tube for strength and optimized airflow
- Simple installation process typically completed in under 60 minutes
Construction & Design
The intake system features a robust HDPE rotationally molded tube engineered to maximize airflow while resisting heat soak and environmental wear. This material choice ensures durability and consistent performance in demanding engine bay conditions. The custom-designed NextGen air box effectively isolates the intake air from the high temperatures generated by the engine, helping to maintain cooler intake temperatures for improved combustion efficiency. The Dryflow air filter utilizes oil-free synthetic media, which not only simplifies maintenance but also prevents filter oil contamination of the mass airflow sensor, preserving sensor accuracy and engine performance.
Performance & Sound
By increasing airflow by over a third, this cold air intake system delivers a measurable increase in horsepower and torque, enhancing acceleration and overall engine responsiveness. The design also contributes to a more aggressive intake sound, providing an enhanced driving experience without excessive noise. These performance gains are achieved without requiring any ECU tuning, making it a straightforward upgrade for daily drivers and enthusiasts alike.

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!
