Why It's Better

A True Monster Of A RAM

The all new Monster-Ram intake elbow for the 6.7L Cummins in your Ram lives up to its name. It is an absolute MONSTER. We pulled out all the stops when developing it.

Gain throttle response you can feel and insurance your wallet will appreciate.

What It Does

The Monster-Ram improves airflow from the intercooler. It flows 72.7 lbs/min with Banks’ New Coil Heater and High-Flow Billet Intake Plate compared to stock's 38.6 lbs/min MAF. That is a huge 88.3% improvement over stock you can feel!

The proprietary design raises boost without increasing back-pressure at the turbine. The result is improved engine response, efficiency, and headroom for daily driving and heavy hauling.

There are two devices on your Cummins engine that increase air density; the turbocharger and the intercooler.

Anything in the system that doesn’t create air density, cuts air density. We designed the Monster-Ram to get back that lost air density.

Its All About Mass Air Flow

The secret to the Monster-Ram's performance is not just airflow, but the quality and literal weight of the air it flows. Your Cummins engine is limited in the volume of air it can flow through its 6 cylinders even at max RPM.

By increasing the mass of the air delivered to each cylinder, your stock-tuned engine will breathe more efficiently with less stress and set the stage for huge power gains when stacked with a tune.

How We Do It

Your Cummins engine consumes a massive amount of air and struggles to breathe through its tiny, squashed inlet. The stock horn causes boost loss at the same flow while the Banks Monster-Ram has a wide, unrestricted, free-flowing path.

Engineering a better solution

All other replacement manifolds are compromised thanks to the No. 1 fuel line, which obstructs the airflow path.

The Monster-Ram offers unparalleled airflow thanks to its custom-engineered fuel line.

All this without the need for tuning.

Monitor everything

If you have an existing iDash setup, the Monster-Ram has four 1/8 inch NPT ports for installing temperature, pressure, or flow sensors.

Prevents Broken Bolt Engine Failure

Cummins Ticking Time Bomb

Due to heat, vibration, and time, a nut and stud from the factory heater grid has been documented to come loose and fall into the intake manifold. Once this happens, it will roll downhill into cylinder #6, causing catastrophic failure that requires a complete engine rebuild or replacement from bent valves, damaged pistons, and head.

Stock Heater Chokes Performance

The stock heater assembly is an airflow roadblock and becomes a magnet for soot and carbon buildup.

For peak performance, the Monster-Ram includes a custom-machined high-flow billet intake plate. This plate is machined to the optimum thickness and features an oversized inlet CNC port-matched to the Monster-Ram for zero restriction and maximum air density.

Make Way For Airflow!

Our engineers designed an all-new heating solution for the Monster-Ram that offers minimal airflow disruption. This eliminates the risk of engine failure due to parts loosening and falling into the engine while maintaining OEM like cold weather engine start performance.

This new Banks exclusive coil heater sits vertically inside the Monster-Ram without hindering airflow. This allows the factory grid heater to be replaced with the Banks High-Flow Billet Plate.
