Engineered specifically for 3rd Generation (2007.5–2009) Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks powered by the 6.7L 24-Valve Cummins turbo diesel, the aFe Power Quantum Series Cold Air Intake System (53-10026R) is built with minimal part complexity to ensure an airtight, high-efficiency seal. The factory air cleaner and restrictive intake tract hinder airflow volume and absorb engine compartment heat; the Quantum system replaces them with an aerodynamically modeled, fully enclosed cross-linked polyethylene induction system that routes cold, dense air directly to the Holset variable-geometry turbocharger (VGT).

The kit features an industrial-grade, five-rib sealed XLPE housing with a unique integrated filter-to-housing attachment utilizing four captive screws for an airtight surface seal without awkward band clamps. At its intake mouth, a 360-degree radial flow Pro 5R oiled cotton filter incorporates an inverted cone top for expanded surface area and an injection-molded base with an integrated 3-angle velocity stack to smooth air velocity. Paired with a heat-resistant XLPE dyno-tuned intake tube and a silicone bellows coupler that accommodates engine torque movement, this system outflows stock induction by 18% with verified gains of up to +11 horsepower and +20 lb-ft of torque.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dyno-Proven Power & Flow: Outflows the factory intake tract by 18% to produce verified dyno gains of up to +11 HP and +20 lb-ft of torque with improved throttle response.
• Pro 5R 5-Layer Oiled Cotton Media: Features five progressively finer layers of pre-oiled cotton gauze with an inverted cone top that maximizes surface area and extends maintenance intervals.
• Integrated 3-Angle Velocity Stack: Molded directly into the filter base to direct smooth, high-velocity laminar air into the intake tract with minimal restriction.
• Captive 4-Screw Housing Seal: Groundbreaking integrated filter-to-housing design uses four captive screws for positive sealing and fast, hassle-free filter servicing.
• Thermal Heat-Resistant XLPE Construction: Heavy-duty cross-linked polyethylene housing and dyno-tuned intake tube resist heat soak under heavy towing demands.
• Silicone Bellows Flex Coupler: Absorbs engine rocking and vibration under heavy acceleration torque, protecting ducting joints and sensor connections from mechanical fatigue.
• Fast Bolt-On Fitment: Designed with minimal components to drop into OEM mounting locations in under 30 minutes without cutting, drilling, or vehicle modifications.
