Key Features:
-
Massive Airflow Improvement: Boosts Mass Air Flow (MAF) to 72.7 lbs/min with Banks’ High-Flow Heater and Billet Intake Plate, an 88.3% increase over the stock 38.6 lbs/min, enhancing throttle response and power delivery.

Optimized Air Density: Increases the mass of air delivered to each cylinder, improving engine efficiency and setting the stage for significant power gains, even without tuning.
-
Prevents Engine Damage: Replaces the failure-prone stock grid heater with Banks’ High-Flow Billet Intake Plate, eliminating the risk of catastrophic grid heater bolt failure.
-
50-State Emissions Compliant: Retains all emissions equipment, ensuring compliance across all 50 states, including California (CARB-approved).
-
Enhanced Design: Utilizes advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for a direct-replacement aluminum casting that eliminates airflow restrictions caused by the stock inlet elbow and No. 1 fuel line. Includes a custom-engineered fuel line for unobstructed airflow.
-
Expandable Functionality: Features four 1/8” NPT ports for temperature and pressure sensors, offering endless possibilities for data acquisition and performance monitoring.
-
Vibrant Red Finish: Powder-coated in a striking red, adding style and durability to your engine bay (also available in black or raw finishes).

No Tuning Required: Delivers instant power, performance, and acceleration without the need for ECM retuning—perfect for bolt-on upgrades.
Why Choose the Monster-Ram?
The Banks Monster-Ram Intake System is a game-changer for your Cummins-powered Ram. By replacing the cramped, restrictive stock inlet elbow with a wide, free-flowing design, it maximizes airflow from the intercooler, raising boost without increasing turbine backpressure. This results in a more responsive, fuel-efficient engine with greater headroom for daily driving, heavy hauling, or high-horsepower applications. Extensively tested on the flow bench, dyno, and real-world roads, the Monster-Ram outperforms all competitors, delivering nearly double the airflow improvement of the closest rival.
