Product Description

The Banks 42180 Ram-Air Cold-Air Intake System is a high-flow performance air intake engineered specifically for 2010-2012 Dodge/RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel engine. This system replaces the restrictive stock intake with an enclosed Ram-Air design that draws cooler, denser outside air into the engine for improved combustion efficiency and potential gains in horsepower, torque, and throttle response. The giant air filter element and streamlined airflow path work together to deliver significantly more airflow than the factory design, helping lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) and reduce sooty black smoke under load.

Banks Ram-Air intake systems are extensively tested and validated to flow up to 50 % more air than stock, with a unique bellows section that accommodates engine movement to protect components and extend service life. The enclosed housing keeps hot under-hood air out of the intake stream, maximizing air density at the turbo inlet without triggering fault codes. Designed for direct bolt-on installation with all hardware included, the Banks 42180 is a durable, performance-oriented upgrade for Cummins diesel owners seeking better airflow and overall engine efficiency.
