Monster-Ram Intake System for 19-24 Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins Red Powdercoat 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 or torque gain can I expect from the Banks Monster-Ram Intake System?

A: While results vary by setup, most 6.7L Cummins owners report 8–15 additional horsepower and improved throttle response due to 88% higher airflow and reduced boost restriction. Gains increase when paired with Banks Power exhaust or tuner upgrades.

Q2: Does the Banks Monster-Ram improve fuel economy on a 6.7L Cummins?

A: Yes. By optimizing airflow and combustion efficiency, it can improve fuel mileage under light throttle conditions, typically by 2–5%, depending on driving habits.

Q3: Will the Monster-Ram fit a stock 6.7L Cummins without additional modifications?

A: Yes. It’s a direct bolt-on upgrade for 2019–2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 models with the 6.7L Cummins. No tuning or additional parts are required.

Q4: Does it fit trucks with aftermarket tuners or intercoolers?

A: Yes. The Monster-Ram is compatible with most aftermarket tuners, intercoolers, and charge pipes. It’s designed to work seamlessly with Banks Power systems for maximum performance.

Q5: Is the Banks Monster-Ram 50-state legal?

A: Yes. It’s the only 50-state emissions-compliant intake elbow for 6.7L Cummins trucks, certified under CARB EO D-161-149.

Q6: Will this intake system void my factory warranty?

A: Generally, no. Because the Monster-Ram is emissions-compliant and doesn’t modify fuel or ECU parameters, it shouldn’t void factory warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Q7: How long does installation take, and can I do it myself?

A: Most owners complete installation in about 1.5–2 hours using basic hand tools. The kit includes all hardware and a proprietary fuel line, so no special tools are required.

Q8: Do I need to retune my ECU after installing the Monster-Ram?

A: No tuning is required. The system is engineered to deliver full performance benefits without ECU recalibration.

Q9: How does the Banks Monster-Ram compare to stock and other aftermarket intakes?

A: The Monster-Ram flows 72.7 lbs/min versus the stock 38.6 lbs/min — nearly double. It outperforms other aftermarket intakes by over 40%, based on Banks’ independent flow-bench and dyno tests.

Q10: Why is the Banks Monster-Ram better than the stock grid heater setup?

A: The stock grid heater restricts airflow and can cause engine damage if it fails. The Banks Monster-Ram replaces it with a high-flow billet plate and coil-style heater that maintains cold-start performance without restriction.
