Cold Air Intakes
The power of a good intake
Just like you need a high-functioning AC unit to make it through hot summer days, so does your pickup. A cold air intake brings in cold air, which produces a higher amount of oxygen density compared to warm air, and turns it into greater performance. Maximize your diesel engine’s efficiency with one of these cold air intakes.
aFe POWER
The Quantum Cold Air Intake system for the 2013-2018 RAM 2500/3500 takes aFe POWER’s decades of performance experience and combines it with industrial-grade strength and durability.

The Quantum intake offers in-house dyno proven max gains of 15hp and 37 lb-ft of torque from a system that can be installed in less than an hour and is easy to service. aFe’s patent-pending filter-to-housing interface design fits perfectly in your engine bay and retains RAM Active Air functionality. A silicone bellows coupler links the large 360-degree radial-flow, re-usable air filter and the dyno-tuned intake tube to add flexibility, and dampens excess engine movement from the powerful 6.7L Cummins to retain a perfect fit and finish.

With the aFe POWER Quantum Cold Air Intake, you get a quality engineered intake that looks the part and is always ready to work as hard as your RAM truck. (844-876-9929 // www.afepower.com)

HSP
HSP
The HSP Cold Air intake for the 2017-2019 L5P is designed to fit perfectly and actually seal against the underside of the hood to draw only cool air into the box, utilizing the factory hood scoop. They design their intakes for performance without any tuning required and then make every effort to follow the symmetry of the engine bay to improve the overall flow as if the vehicle were built around the intake.

HSP uses premium materials to fabricate their intakes from their tubing and lids all the way down to their stainless-steel rivets and premium hardware. The intakes go through a multi-step QC process before ever leaving the door in HSP’s exceptionally well-packaged foam-filled boxes.

Backed by their “No B.S,” Limited Lifetime Warranty, you can be rest assured you made a quality choice. (586-785-3110 // www.hspdiesel.com)

The EVO9007 was designed, tested, and proven to be everything you could ever ask for in an induction system. It’s already CARB 50-state approved, so smog tests aren’t a chore and you can purchase this kit anywhere.  While the 2020 and newer Ford Super-Duty Trucks are more than capable by themselves, there’s always room for improvement. Tested on their state-of-the-art in-house dyno, it produced staggering results worth bragging to your friends about (dyno proven gains of up to 63 lb-ft of torque and 28 horsepower).

Every Injen Induction System is tuned from the factory to work directly with the stock configuration and maintain factory fuel trims. That means you don’t have to pay for an expensive tune, and you still won’t damage any expensive internal components. This is the next step in turning your capable truck into a powerhouse.
