Engineered specifically for 2013 through 2018 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel engine, the aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake (54-13018R) replaces restrictive factory airbox assemblies to maximize airflow and turbo spool sound. Factory intake tracts often choke high-output diesel engines, limiting throttle response and towing efficiency.
This kit features a durable, heat-resistant roto-molded XLPE polymer intake tube paired with an open one-piece housing that incorporates the factory RAM Active Air system seamlessly without requiring extra hardware. Equipped with a pre-oiled, washable 5-layer cotton gauze Pro 5R conical filter, this system maximizes surface area and service intervals while requiring zero custom tuning or cutting during installation.
Key Features & Benefits
- Massive Pro 5R Oiled Air Filter: Features a 9-inch tall, 360-degree radial flow design with an inverted top and 5-inch flange for maximum surface area and filtration.
- Superior Airflow Dynamics: Outflows the factory stock intake system by up to 146%, delivering a measured rating of 1020 CFM @ 7" H2O.
- Dyno-Proven Performance: Generates maximum verified gains of up to +12 horsepower and +30 lb-ft of torque on stock tuning.
- Active Air Integration: Designed to work natively with the factory RAM Active Air box routing without modifying or discarding OEM components.
- Hassle-Free Bolt-On Fitment: Utilizes existing factory mounting locations for a straightforward installation that requires no drilling or cutting.

Vehicle Fitment & Installation Notes
- 2013–2018 Ram 2500 / 3500 / 4500 / 5500 – 6.7L Cummins Diesel
- Fits Model Years: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018
- Fitment Notice: Engineered specifically for 2013–2018 trucks. Does not fit 2019+ Ram redesigns (which require alternative aFe part numbers). No engine tuning is required to run this intake safely.
- Installation Tip: Ensure all intake clamps and the patent-pending filter-to-housing interface are seated tightly to prevent unfiltered air bypass under heavy turbo boost loads. Clean and re-oil the Pro 5R filter element every 30,000 to 50,000 miles depending on operating environments.
