The Banks Power Monster-Ram Dual Heat Capable intake system dramatically improves throttle response and fuel economy by eliminating airflow restrictions while preventing severe engine damage by replacing the failure-prone factory grid heater. This is the only 50-state emissions-compliant RAM intake elbow available.
Massive Airflow Improvement:
The Monster-Ram flows 72.7 lbs/min with Banks' coil heater and high-flow cast intake plate compared to stock's 38.6 lbs/min MAF—an impressive 88.3% improvement over stock. The proprietary design raises boost without increasing back-pressure at the turbine, resulting in improved engine response, efficiency, and headroom for daily driving and heavy hauling.
Eliminates Killer Grid Heater Bolt Failure:
Due to heat, vibration, and time, the stud and nut from the factory heater grid can come loose and fall into the intake manifold, rolling downhill into cylinder #6 and causing catastrophic failure requiring complete engine rebuild or replacement from bent valves, damaged pistons, and head. Banks Monster-Ram eliminates the grid heater entirely—there's nothing to fail or collect soot.
Complete System Includes:
- Banks 750-watt vertical coil heater that sits inside the Monster-Ram without hindering airflow
- Custom-machined high-flow cast intake plate for peak performance
- Proprietary custom-engineered #1 fuel line for unparalleled airflow
- Four 1/8" NPT ports for temperature and pressure sensors
- EGR crossover tube
Superior Engineering:
Utilizing the latest in CFD (computational fluid-dynamics) and tested on the flow bench, dyno, and on-road, Monster-Ram is a direct-replacement aluminum casting delivering instant power, performance, and acceleration gratification. Cold start testing achieved successful starts down to -20°F/-29°C with two coil heaters, and -30°F/-34°C with a third optional coil heater.
Application: 2013-2018 Ram 3500/4500/5500 6.7L Cummins Chassis-Cab Only. Dual heat capable design allows adding a second 750-watt heater for extreme cold conditions. Patent-pending design. Natural (raw aluminum) finish.
