Banks Dual Heat Capable Monster-Ram improves throttle response and fuel economy by eliminating airflow restrictions. The patent-pending system prevents severe engine damage by replacing the failure prone killer grid heater with the Banks high-flow cast intake plate. The factory heater can't fail if it's not there. 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 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.
Racecar level airflow
50 state emission compliance
Prevents engine damage
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 Cast 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.
It's All About
Mass Air Flow
The secret to the Monster-Ram's performance is not just airflow, but the quality and 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 power gains when stacked with a tune.

How We Do It
Your Cummins engine struggles to breathe through its tiny, squashed inlet. The stock intake 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
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 stud and nut from the factory heater grid have been documented to come loose and fall into the intake manifold. Thanks to the engine's 5° rake, the broken bolt rolls downhill into cylinder #6, causing catastrophic failure that requires a complete engine rebuild or replacement from bent valves, damaged pistons, and head.
The Competition
Cheaps Out
Don’t be fooled by band-aids claiming to prevent grid heater failure. BD’s Killer Grid Heater kit is a temporary fix that leave RAM owners with a false sense of security and a fastener held in by nothing more than liquid thread locker.
Leaving Stock Heater
Chokes Performance
And, while you’re waiting for the BD screw to arc, melt, and fall into the intake manifold, the stock grid heater collects more soot and reduces airflow. Banks Monster-Ram eliminates the grid heater. There’s nothing to fail or collect soot.
For peak performance, the Monster-Ram includes a custom-machined high-flow cast 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.
Unrivaled Airflow
Our engineers designed an all-new heating solution for the Monster-Ram.
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 Intake 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.
