MONSTER-RAM® Intake System W/Fuel Line - 2013-18 Dodge/RAM 2500/3500 6.7L, CARB, w/Heater System Upgrade, RED

The all new Monster-Ram^® intake for the 6.7L Cummins in your Ram lives up to its name. It is an absolute MONSTER. We pulled out all the stops when developing it.

Your Cummins engine struggles to breathe through its tiny, squashed stock inlet which causes boost loss at the same flow, while the Banks Monster-Ram® has a wide, unrestricted free-flowing path.

The Monster-Ram® offers unparalleled airflow thanks to its custom-engineered fuel line.All this without the need for tuning while being 50-state compliant.

All this without the need for tuning while being 50-state compliant.

Since its debut in 2017, tens of thousands of RAM owners throughout the US and Canada have installed a Monster-Ram to prevent factory grid failure while enjoying quicker throttle response, improved fuel economy, and better drivability.

But performance means nothing without reliability

That's why Monster-Ram is engineered and tested to OEM-level standards. Every part in the Monster-Ram kit, including the proprietary fuel line, is covered by the Banks Limited Lifetime Warranty.

What It Does

The Monster-Ram^® improves airflow from the intercooler. It flows 72.7 lbs/min with Banks’ New Coil Heater and High-Flow Cast Intake Plate compared to stock's 38.6 lbs/min MAF. That is a huge 88.3% improvement over stock you can feel!

The proprietary design raises boost without increasing back-pressure at the turbine. The result is improved engine response, efficiency, and headroom for daily driving and heavy hauling.

It's All About
Mass Air Flow

The secret to the Monster-Ram^®'s performance is not just airflow, but the quality and weight of the air it flows. Your Cummins engine is limited in the volume of air it can flow through its 6 cylinders even at max RPM.

By increasing the mass of the air delivered to each cylinder, your stock-tuned engine will breathe more efficiently with less stress, and set the stage for power gains when stacked with a tune.

Cold Start Test Criteria

We followed RAM's cold start recommendations. Per the owner’s manual, RAM recommends the use of the block heater when the temperature drops below 0°F/-17°C and mandates the block heater at temperatures below -20°F/-29°C.

Using a controlled climate chamber, our first test utilized block heat and two Banks coil heaters (1500 watts total). The Monster-Ram^® enabled our test truck to cold start down to -30°F/-34°C.

Against RAM’s recommendations, we also attempted to cold start with the same two coil heaters and no block heat. We were able to cold start down to -20°F/-29°C. Adding a third coil heater (2,250 watts total), the truck started at -30°F/-34°C.*

All tests were performed with two intake air pre-heat cycles per the owner’s manual. Intake air temperature is just one factor contributing to a successful cold start. Individual results may vary depending on your vehicle’s age and overall condition. Testing is ongoing with a detailed video forthcoming.

The Finishing Touch      

Add the Banks Engine Cover Kit to conceal the factory emissions equipment with an OEM-plus design engineered specifically for Monster-Ram-equipped RAM 6.7L Cummins pickups and chassis cabs

Paired with the Banks Revolver Billet Oil Cap, it's the finishing touch your engine bay deserves.^® has a wide, unrestricted, free-flowing path.

Prevents Broken Bolt Engine Failure

Cummins Ticking Time Bomb

Due to heat, vibration, and time, a stud and nut from the factory heater grid have been documented to come loose and fall into the intake manifold. Thanks to the engine's 5° rake, the broken bolt rolls downhill into cylinder #6, causing catastrophic failure that requires a complete engine rebuild or replacement from bent valves, damaged pistons, and head.

Leaving Stock Heater Chokes Performance

And, while you’re waiting for the BD screw to arc, melt, and fall into the intake manifold, the stock grid heater collects more soot and reduces airflow. Banks Monster-Ram^® eliminates the grid heater. There’s nothing to fail or collect soot.

For peak performance, the Monster-Ram^® includes a custom-machined high-flow cast intake plate. This plate is machined to the optimum thickness and features an oversized inlet CNC port-matched to the Monster-Ram^® for zero restriction and maximum air density.

Unrivaled Airflow

Our engineers designed an all-new heating solution for the Monster-Ram^®.

This new Banks exclusive coil heater sits vertically inside the Monster-Ram^® without hindering airflow. This allows the factory grid heater to be replaced with the Banks High-Flow Intake Plate.

This eliminates the risk of engine failure due to parts loosening and falling into the engine while maintaining OEM-like cold weather engine start performance.
