Product Overview
Banks Power Monster-Ram® Intake System for 2003–2007 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins
The Banks Power Monster-Ram® is a direct-fit intake elbow replacement designed for compatible 2003–2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L Cummins diesel engine and the stock intercooler.
The Monster-Ram® improves airflow from the intercooler, raising boost without increasing backpressure at the turbine. The result is a more responsive, more fuel-efficient engine with instant, noticeable torque gains. It is available with or without an optional 3.5-inch mandrel-bent boost tube.
Key Features
- Delivers Instant Torque: Improved airflow translates to a more immediate power response.
- Quicker Throttle Response: Reduced intake restriction improves engine responsiveness.
- Improved Intercooler Airflow: Larger and less restrictive than the stock intake elbow.
- Raises Boost Without Added Backpressure: Increases boost potential without raising turbine drive pressure.
- Out-Boosts the Competition: Outperforms competing intake elbows by up to 56.9%.
- Six 1/8-Inch NPT Ports: CNC port-matched for the stock heater, with room for pressure, temperature, or flow sensors.
- Optional Boost Tube: Available with a 3.5-inch mandrel-bent boost tube, or without for use with the OEM boost tube.
What’s Included
- Banks Monster-Ram® intake housing (3.5-inch, red powder-coated)
- Installation hardware
- Boost tube included with the “With Boost Tube” variant only; the “Without Boost Tube” variant uses the OEM boost tube
Application Notes
