Product Description

The Banks 42145-D Ram-Air Cold-Air Intake System with Dry Filter is a performance upgrade designed specifically for 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 5.9L Cummins turbo diesel engine. This intake system replaces the factory flat panel airbox with an enclosed Ram-Air design that inhales cooler, denser outside air and directs it efficiently into the engine. The large dry synthetic filter element delivers high-flow filtration and requires fewer cleanings compared with many stock paper filters, making upkeep simpler while helping maintain engine protection.

With its oversized inlet, streamlined airflow path, and exclusive 4½" flexible bellows that accommodate engine movement, the Banks intake helps reduce restrictions and delivers cooler air for improved combustion. This can contribute to increased horsepower and torque potential, reduced exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), and decreased sooty black smoke output. Designed as a direct bolt-on solution with all hardware included, the 42145-D is emissions-compliant in all 50 states where CARB approval applies and backed by a generous warranty for both the intake system and filter.
