2025 RAM 1500 3.0L SO S&B Cold Air Intake

Not to mention that the cold air is going into a 1000 degree turbo and the intercooler is doing the job of cooling the air

The $3 question is; what do these filters do for REAL performance and like what one member suggested, one of these filters has the "dirt and grit" protection of a screen door. I'm not willing to let all "that crap" enter my engine for a non-measurable 3 extra HP!!!!!! Though they do LOOK good, when the hood is up.

S&B intakes are outstanding for filtration from my experience, have one on my 2021 Wrangler. It sees its share of non-pavement, and has for nearly 80K miles...always a S&B intake with no issues.

From the various YT videos interviewing the RAM engineers about the RHO. They claim the peak hp doesn't change but the mid range power is increased over the other HO equipped models.

I was reading the K&N description for

50-1598​

and they use the verbiage that this CAI produces GUARANTEED 41 HP that has been dyno tested. Not sure how true that is but well worth $400 if it's accurate.

I was wondering that as well. I cant find anybody that has put it on and reviewed it yet though... only video I found so far was some guy reviewing Burger tuning software on this truck with the k&n intake as well. I was trying to listen if it made the BOV sounds louder thats more what im looking for with it haha...

The blow off valve dumps back into the intake. If you want the sound you'll need an atmospheric blow off valve

In the video I could hear it too. Replacing the oem intake tube with silencer and having a large hole exposing the K&N air filter makes it noticeable.
