Description
Upgrade your 2013-2018 Ram 2500/3500 with the 6.7L Cummins engine using the Banks Power Monster-Ram Intake Elbow (42798). This high-flow, emissions-compliant intake elbow delivers massive airflow, faster throttle response, and eliminates the weak factory grid heater.
Does Not Fit Chassis Cab 
Product Overview
Transform your Ram with one of the most effective intake upgrades on the market. The Monster-Ram Intake Elbow from Banks Power is engineered specifically for 2013-2018 Ram 2500/3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. By replacing the restrictive stock elbow and vulnerable grid heater, this system delivers real performance, durability, and peace of mind.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dramatically increased airflow: Flows up to 72.7 lb/min compared to the factory 38.6 lb/min — an 88% improvement.
- Larger, less restrictive 3-3/8″ inlet and fully port-matched casting for maximum free-flowing air.
- Eliminates the factory “killer grid heater” that can fail and cause catastrophic engine damage.
- Retains all OEM emissions equipment for full 50-state CARB-EO compliance.
- Four 1/8″ NPT sensor ports allow you to monitor intake pressure, temperature, or flow.
- Available in Powder-Coated Red, Black, or Raw Aluminum finishes to match your engine bay.
Why It’s Better
The Monster-Ram is more than just an intake elbow — it’s a complete airflow solution. By improving mass air flow, reducing intake restriction, and removing a known failure point (the grid heater), this upgrade delivers noticeable throttle response gains and a more efficient engine under load.
