Banks Power 42797 Monster-Ram Intake & Heater Grid Upgrade (Natural)

The Banks Power 42797 Raw Monster-Ram Intake & Heater Grid Upgrade will increase airflow and help protect the engine in your Dodge Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Diesel. The Banks Monster-Ram can enhance throttle response and fuel economy by removing airflow restrictions. By replacing the failure-prone OEM grid heater with the high-flow billet intake plate from Banks, severe engine damage can be avoided.

A True Monster Of A RAM
This intake elbow lives up to its name as it is an absolute MONSTER and Banks Power pulled out all the stops when developing it. Get better throttle response you can feel and potential mileage gains your wallet will appreciate.

What It Does
The Monster-Ram improves airflow from the intercooler. The Banks intake flows 72.7 lbs/min with the included Coil Heater and High-Flow Billet Intake Plate compared to the factory intake's 38.6 lbs/min MAF. That is a massive 88.3% improvement over stock you can feel. The patented design helps increase boost without raising back pressure at the turbine, resulting in improved engine response, efficiency, and headroom for heavy hauling and daily driving. Two devices on your diesel engine increase air density; the turbocharger and the intercooler. Anything in the intake tract that doesn't help air density cuts air density and the Monster-Ram is designed to get back that lost air density.

It's All About Mass Air Flow
The quality and literal weight of the air it flows is the secret to the Monster-Ram's performance, not just airflow. Your diesel engine is restricted in the amount of air it can flow through its 6 cylinders even at peak RPM. Your stock tune engine will breathe more effectively and with less strain by increasing the amount of air delivered to each cylinder, which will pave the way for significant power gains when combined with a tune.

How They Do It
Through its small, squashed inlet, your diesel engine struggles to breathe the tremendous amount of air it needs. The Banks Monster-Ram has a broad, unobstructed, free-flowing path, whereas the stock horn reduces boost at the same flow.

Engineering a better solution
The No. 1 fuel line blocks the airflow path, compromising all other replacement manifolds as they do not account for this obstruction. The Monster-Ram's specially designed fuel line provides unmatched airflow. All of this is possible without a programmer.

Monitor everything
Four 1/8" NPT ports on the Monster-Ram allow you to install flow, pressure, or temperature sensors if you already have an iDash setup.

Prevents Broken Bolt Engine Failure - Ticking Time Bomb
A nut and stud from the OEM heater grid have been known to come free and fall into the intake manifold as a result of heat, vibration, and time. It will then roll downhill into cylinder #6, resulting in a catastrophic failure that necessitates a full engine rebuild or replacement due to damaged pistons, bent valves, and a cylinder head.

The Stock Heater Chokes Performance
The stock heater obstructs airflow and attracts carbon and soot accumulation. The Monster-Ram comes with a specially machined high-flow billet intake plate for optimal performance. For maximum air density and zero restriction, this plate has an enlarged inlet CNC port that matches the Monster-Ram and is machined to an optimal thickness.

Make Way For Airflow
For the Monster-Ram, the Banks experts created a brand-new heating system with very little airflow restriction. Inside the Monster-Ram, this Banks-only coil heater is positioned vertically without obstructing airflow. This enables the Banks High-Flow Billet Plate to be used in place of the OEM grid heater. This preserves OEM-like cold weather engine start performance while removing the possibility of engine failure from pieces coming loose and dropping into the engine.
