Product Description

The K&N 70-1561 is a NextGen Aluminum cold air intake system engineered for the 2009-2023 Dodge/Ram 1500 and 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. Part of K&N's newest NextGen Aluminum series, this intake uses a rigid 6063 American aluminum tube to deliver up to 30% more airflow than the factory intake housing - resulting in gains of up to +16.2 HP and +18.7 lb-ft of torque with no ECU tune required. The custom NextGen enclosed airbox protects incoming air from engine bay heat, ensuring a consistent supply of cool, dense air to the HEMI's combustion chambers during daily driving, towing, and hauling.

The intake installs using factory mounting points in 60 minutes or less with standard hand tools, and retains all factory sensor connections for full OBD2 compatibility. The included oiled cotton gauze filter requires cleaning only every 100,000 miles, and the entire system is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA. Backed by K&N's No-Hassle Lifetime Limited Warranty, the 70-1561 is a long-term performance investment for HEMI-powered Ram owners seeking measurable real-world gains with a clean, factory-integrated look.
