Banks Triple Heat Capable Monster-Ram® improves throttle response and fuel economy by eliminating airflow restrictions. The system prevents severe engine damage by replacing the failure-prone factory grid heater with the Banks high-flow 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
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.
Your Cummins engine struggles to breathe through its tiny, squashed stock inlet which causes boost loss at the same flow, while the Banks Monster-Ram® has a wide, unrestricted free-flowing path.
The Monster-Ram® offers unparalleled airflow thanks to its custom-engineered fuel line.
All this without the need for tuning while being 50-state compliant.
Trusted by Tens of Thousands of RAM Owners
Since its debut in 2017, tens of thousands of RAM owners throughout the US and Canada have installed a Monster-Ram to prevent factory grid failure while enjoying quicker throttle response, improved fuel economy, and better drivability.
But performance means nothing without reliability
That's why Monster-Ram is engineered and tested to OEM-level standards. Every part in the Monster-Ram kit, including the proprietary fuel line, is covered by the Banks Limited Lifetime Warranty.
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.
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.
Now Triple Heat Capable

Bolt-on up to an additional 1500W to your Single or Triple Heat Capable Monster-Ram®.
Cold Start Test Criteria
We followed RAM's cold start recommendations. Per the owner’s manual, RAM recommends the use of the block heater when the temperature drops below 0°F/-17°C and mandates the block heater at temperatures below -20°F/-29°C.
Using a controlled climate chamber, our first test utilized block heat and two Banks coil heaters (1500 watts total). The Monster-Ram® enabled our test truck to cold start down to -30°F/-34°C.
Against RAM’s recommendations, we also attempted to cold start with the same two coil heaters and no block heat. We were able to cold start down to -20°F/-29°C. Adding a third coil heater (2,250 watts total), the truck started at -30°F/-34°C.*
All tests were performed with two intake air pre-heat cycles per the owner’s manual. Intake air temperature is just one factor contributing to a successful cold start. Individual results may vary depending on your vehicle’s age and overall condition.
