About This Product
The Banks Monster-Ram improves throttle response and fuel economy by eliminating airflow restrictions. By replacing the failure-prone factory grid heater with the included Banks high-flow billet intake plate, severe engine damage is prevented. Monster-Ram is the only 50-state emissions-compliant RAM intake elbow.

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.
The Monster-Ram improves airflow from the intercooler. It flows 72.7 lbs/min withBanks’ New Coil Heater and High-Flow Billet Intake Platecompared 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.
50 State Compliant!
All emission systems are retained, maintaining 50 State compliance and a CARB-EO.

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 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.
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.
GALE'S PICK
“This has got to be one of the best product victories of my whole career.” -Gale Banks
Exactly what I needed for my 2012 Ram 3500 Cummins. Replaced the grid heater as well and eliminated the dreaded bolt issue. Pedal response is so much better. The Banks intake really brought my Cummins back to life. Installation was fairly easy as well (except for that far fuel line). Absolutely...
Very Happy with the Monster Ram! Installation not difficult, just time consuming. I did not completely remove fuel rail which helped, but I did drop the EGR tube metal gasket :) that took some time to locate, LOL. If I was to install another, I would be much faster. The directions from the QR code were...
Great product!!!! Install went pretty well other than the instructions not having one tool that I highly recommend. To make this install go even easier make sure you have a 6mm ball end long hex head key socket. The factory includes a long piece of 6mm hex that you can turn with a 6mm socket but there...
I purchased the monster ram because of the dreaded bolt break off on the factory grid heater. I kept getting a check engine light related to the grid heater and just knew that the factory grid heater would fail at anytime. During disassembly the bolt was loose on the underside so I was just in time to...
This is my second Monster air Install and it is worth every penny. This is a 3 wrench effort, that one should feel comfortable working around engine especially doing. Please have all the recommended tools on hand it makes the job that much smoother to do.
Great product! Definitely tell a difference. Glad to get rid of that stock heater grid bolt. Although mine was still in good shape. Fairly easy install. Only problem I ran into besides being sore from laying over this bumper for hours was tightening the far rear allen bolt on the Monster Ram. On this...
Easy to install and instructions were easy to follow.

My truck has no engine modifications and has all the emissions equipment present. The new intake did, although slightly, improve the throttle response and there is noticeably less boost lag than before. This product does what Mr. Banks says it does, but you won't be breaking any quarter mile records....
After install and chasing down a fuel leak I drove the truck and it definitely had better throttle response. It also felt like the power was more through all rpm ranges. As for the installation the temperature probe that goes to the egr valve on the Monster Ram needs an extension and no extension was...
