The K&N 50-1598 NextGen Cold Air Intake is the ultimate upgrade for Ram 1500 L6 3.0L TT Except RHO owners who want real, dyno-proven power without touching the tune. Purpose-built for this platform, the complete bolt-on system replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a large-diameter intake tube, an oversized conical High-Flow filter and a sealed NextGen airbox engineered to work as one.
Completely redesigned from the inside out, the NextGen platform delivers an impressive 41.13 horsepower and 67.85 lb-ft on the factory tune, a 32.5% increase in airflow over the stock intake, with no programming required. Strategically positioned air channels smooth and accelerate the charge while the semi-enclosed airbox keeps hot engine bay air out of it, and the washable High-Flow LIFETIME filter (RU-5302) runs up to 100,000 highway miles between services.
