Monster-Ram Intake System for 07.5-12 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins Raw Banks Power

The Banks Monster-Ram improves throttle response and fuel economy by eliminating airflow restrictions. By replacing the failure-prone factory grid heater with the included Banks high-flow billet intake plate, severe engine damage is prevented. Monster-Ram is the only 50-state emissions-compliant RAM intake elbow.

What it does:

The Monster-Ram improves airflow from the intercooler. It flows 72.7 lbs/min MAF (Mass Air Flow) with Banks' High-Flow Heater and Billet Intake Plate compared to stock's 38.6 lbs/min MAF.

Monster-Ram raises boost without increasing backpressure at the turbine. The result is a more responsive, power-efficient engine that offers even more headroom than stock for higher horsepower applications.

The complete system:

Banks' High-Flow Heater and Billet Intake Plate complete the perfect system. The High-Flow Heater allows for the removal of the restrictive stock heater grid plate. The new vertical coil-style heater provides the same functionality for cold starts as the stock grid heater but without obstructing airflow. Replacing the restrictive stock grid heater plate with the Banks High-Flow Intake Plate removes all obstructions and turbulence in the airflow path.

How it was designed:

Utilizing the latest in CFD (computational fluid-dynamics), tested on the flow bench, the dyno, and on-road, Monster-Ram is a beast that only Banks could have unleashed. A direct-replacement aluminum casting, Monster-Ram is instant power, performance, and acceleration gratification. The factory inlet elbow is cramped and angular in order to accommodate the path of the stock No. 1 fuel line. Banks Engineers designed a new No. 1 fuel line, allowing the Monster-Ram to flow more air without obstruction.

Expandable:

With four 1/8 inch NPT ports, perfect for temperature and pressure sensors, the sky's the limit for data acquisition.

Beats the competition:

Like all Banks products, the Monster-Ram was tested against all available competitors. It more than doubles the improvement over the closest competitor.

Frequently Asked Question

Q1: How much horsepower does the Banks Monster-Ram Intake add on a 6.7L Cummins?

A: Expect 8–15 HP gains and noticeably quicker turbo spool on stock setups. Gains can increase further with tuning, exhaust, or intercooler upgrades.

Q2: Does the Monster-Ram help lower EGTs?

A: Yes. Improved airflow promotes cleaner combustion, resulting in lower exhaust gas temperatures — especially beneficial during towing or heavy loads.

Q3: Will this Banks Monster-Ram fit my 2008 or 2012 Ram 6.7L Cummins?

A: Yes. It fits 2007.5–2012 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 6.7L Cummins models. It’s a direct bolt-on and includes the necessary fuel line and mounting hardware.

Q4: Do I need tuning or modifications for installation?

A: No. It’s designed to work with the factory ECM and other stock components — no tuning or cutting required.

Q5: Is this Monster-Ram CARB legal for 2007.5–2012 Cummins trucks?

A: Not yet. This version is currently pending final CARB approval. It’s intended for off-road or competition use in states that follow California emissions standards.

Q6: Does installing the Monster-Ram affect emissions or warranty?

A: It maintains factory emissions components. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, it does not void your warranty unless proven to cause a failure.

Q7: How long does it take to install the Banks Monster-Ram?

A: Installation takes roughly 2 hours using standard tools. The system comes with step-by-step instructions and all hardware.

Q8: What’s included in the Banks Monster-Ram kit?

A: The kit includes the Monster-Ram intake elbow, High-Flow Heater, billet intake plate, proprietary No.1 fuel line, gaskets, and all required hardware.

Q9: How does Banks’ Monster-Ram compare to other aftermarket intakes?

A: Banks outperforms all competitors, more than doubling airflow improvements over the next-best intake elbow based on independent flow-bench tests.

Q10: Why choose the raw finish version?

A: The raw finish offers a rugged, performance-oriented look and natural aluminum cooling properties — perfect for those who value function over form.
