We took something good and made it even better.

Uses the same motor that drives Ram Active AirTM to activate its swing gate, giving you all the benefits of the stock system, plus much more. Draws air from the wheel well inlet under normal driving conditions or inclement weather conditions (ice, snow, rain) to protect against the elements.

In extreme heat, high loads, or high altitudes the swing gate pivots when your truck accelerates to full throttle, opening the ram-air duct mounted behind the front grille and exposing cooler and less restrictive air to your engine.

Monitor your ram air.
Our active monitoring light alerts you when the ram-air gate is open.

Testing shows that the ram-air inlet opens when outside temperatures are greater than 91°F and the truck is at full throttle. The ram-air inlet stays open for approximately 3-5 miles or until the truck slows to close to 5 mph. This process repeats itself. Ram-air activity varies with your driving conditions.

Want more air ? Use both inlets.
Unlike stock which uses only one inlet at a time, our kit gives you the option of massive dual inlet airflow. Simply remove the dam from the gate arm and re-attach when desired or to protect against inclement weather.

Note: The gate arm remains active even with the dam removed. This will prevent you from getting an Active Air Box code when both inlets are open. Dam MUST be used in harsh weather conditions including but not limited to rain, sleet, or snow as engine damage can occur. S&B is not responsible for engine damage due to failure to use the dam as instructed.

New silicone filters and couplers.
Silicone is a premium rubber which will seal better and last longer. It handles as much as 400° F without cracking or tearing. With a high friction surface and no oily residue, our silicone filters and couplers won’t slide off the tube or require you to wash your hands.

Cleanable or dry filters. You pick.
We offer this intake with two types of filters: cotton (cleanable) or dry (disposable). Since you don't sacrifice performance with either choice, the decision comes down to your preference to throw away the filter or clean it. Part numbers for dry filter intakes end with 'D'.

Innovative filter inlet. Bigger is better.
The full round inlet radius provides for a smooth transition while allowing for a larger filter with more surface area. The result is better airflow and filtration.

Airflow Rating: Improves Airflow versus Stock by: 29.3% thru side inlet, 43.8% thru front (ram-air) inlet & 54.6% with both inlets open on S&B intake

Efficiency Rating:  99.55% Efficient @ 580 CFM (ISO Coarse Dust)

S&B Filters Are Backed By A 1 Million Mile Limited Warranty

S&B diesel performance intake kits are all about improving airflow to your truck's engine. It's just a matter of superior design. Better airflow translates into a noticeable increase in power, acceleration and most importantly...bragging rights. S&B's intake kits are engineered to improve the airflow to your car's engine. It starts with years of research and development, as well as the most technically advanced testing. S&B tests to the ISO 5011 Air Filtration Standard in a climate – controlled lab when designing and testing our intake kits. This is the same technology used by Ford, Chrysler and General Motors to design the original induction system that comes on your vehicle.

Airflow

It all starts with airflow. The more air that your engine breathes, the more oxygen it receives. More oxygen results in a better combustion. Better combustion translates into more power and better fuel economy. This is why your vehicle runs better on cool mornings than on hot afternoons as cool air is denser and contains more oxygen. You can feed your engine more oxygen by reducing the restriction of the airflow.

S&B Thorough Research & Development

During our ISO 5011 testing, we first measure the restriction of the airflow through your vehicle's original induction system in order to establish a baseline. The goal of a Performance Intake Kit is to reduce the restriction of the airflow to your vehicle's engine. In layman's terms, we want to make it easier for the engine to breathe. By reducing the restriction of the airflow, your engine will have better throttle response and produce more horsepower and torque. Since your engine will not have to work as hard to produce the required amount of power – the result is better fuel economy.

S&B Backs It Up: Certified Test Results

S&B provides ISO 5011 Certified Test Results for its intake kits, so you can see exactly how much the airflow was improved (restriction decreased) as well as the efficiency of the filter. ISO is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. The specific individual International Standard utilized by S&B and automotive manufacturers establishes and specifies uniform test procedures, conditions, equipment, and a performance report to permit the direct laboratory performance comparison of air cleaners, in this case, those used on internal combustion engines and compressors used in automotive and industrial applications.
