Product Description

The K&N 71-1533 Blackhawk Cold Air Intake System is engineered to replace the restrictive stock air intake setup on 2003-2008 Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 trucks with the 5.7L V8 engine. With a high-flow black-aluminum intake tube and DRYFLOW® synthetic air filter (oil-free), this system enables your engine to breathe more freely and improves performance. The included steel heat shield helps insulate intake air from heat in the engine bay, preserving air density for better combustion.

This intake is dyno-tested to deliver about **+9.62 HP** and **+16.2 lb-ft** of torque under ideal conditions. It comes with mounting hardware and installs in approximately 90 minutes using standard hand tools - no cutting or drilling required. Because it carries CARB EO D-269-58, it is street legal in all 50 U.S. states. With K&N's No-Hassle Lifetime Limited Warranty backing it, this is a reliable and effective performance upgrade for your Ram truck.
