Increase airflow, improve engine performance, and enhance the driving experience of your Dodge Ram 1500 or Ram 1500 Classic equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine with the K&N NextGen Aluminum Cold Air Intake System. Engineered specifically for 5.7L V8 applications, this high-performance intake system delivers dyno-proven gains of up to 16.2 horsepower and 18.7 lb-ft of torque while maintaining your factory engine calibration with no ECU tune required.

The K&N NextGen Aluminum Cold Air Intake features a rigid American 6063 aluminum intake tube designed to increase airflow volume by up to 30% compared to the factory intake system. The lightweight aluminum construction improves airflow efficiency, reduces intake restriction, and allows the engine to produce a sharper, more aggressive induction sound during acceleration without unwanted drone at cruising speeds.

This intake system includes K&N’s washable and reusable High-Flow LIFETIME Air Filter™ featuring premium oiled cotton gauze filter media. The oversized conical filter design provides increased surface area and a radius-entry design engineered to maximize airflow and enhance performance. Under normal highway driving conditions, the filter can provide service intervals of up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is required.

The custom-designed NextGen hybrid airbox features a semi-enclosed design that helps reduce intake air temperatures by shielding the filter from excessive engine bay heat. The enlarged fresh air inlet improves airflow while providing additional protection against dirt, debris, and contaminants.

The intake tubes are crafted from American 6063 aluminum and finished in Texas with a durable gunmetal gray powder-coated finish. This premium finish delivers a clean, performance-oriented under-hood appearance while providing excellent durability for daily driving and performance applications.

The rigid aluminum intake tube allows natural airflow resonance, creating a race-inspired induction sound while maintaining comfortable street manners. Installation is simplified with reduced mounting hardware, Quick-Lock™ filter technology, and a sealing bead design that secures the system using only one hose clamp. The complete intake system can typically be installed in less than 60 minutes.

K&N NextGen intakes are backed by a No-Hassle Lifetime Limited Warranty and are engineered to preserve your factory warranty. Proudly designed in the USA with dedicated customer support, this intake system provides improved airflow, enhanced performance, and a premium appearance for your Dodge Ram 1500.
