Mopar’s “Ram Airflow” Cold-Air Intake System For Ram 1500:

[securityguy]

Are you looking for the KN drop in filter for the stock air box? If so, the KN filter below fits with no issue. I used this for a month before moving to the ram air flow cai. If you are looking for the filter for the CAI, I’m not sure about that one. I am curious though.

This is a far better option and doesn't require oil...cheaper too:

No we are all inquiring about the Mopar ram air replacement filter. Glad the intake did well in the snow, my wife just drove my truck in a storm for an hour im going to go look under the hood now and check!

I was happy to see no snow in there!

Here's what sparked my curiosity a while ago, not my image, the Vararam design that's sorta like the Ram Air:


I'm going to guess that this was due to the chute design. The ram air seems more "closed".
There isn't an installed chute feeding everything directly in the filter.



Or hey maybe it was just dumb luck that this ultra sticky sideways snow after an hour didn't collect!
VERY interested to see others results.

That's interesting, glad I didn't go with the vararam then I guess being in the northeast. I'm going to assume the Mopar engineers did a better job trying to protect the intake filter area because I didn't see anything like that under my hood today thankfully.

I wasn’t aware of the potential snow issue. However what’s the reason why snow is accumulating inside the bay? How does it get inside?

Saw it in the 4th gen forums fairly often. That is why I went S&B for my 2014 back in the day.
One could argue that its actually not a flaw, but a benefit, as it is channeling the air more directly... only problem is that also includes channeling stuff (like snow) that the air may bring with it.

No problems with my Ram Airflow intake either, and it went through two snowstorms so far this year. We will have another (or more) before end of April, almost always do.

The vararam's scoop is super effective at grabbing air.
I chose the Ram Air over it for 3 reasons
1) Mopar
2) It's "closed" (From hot air)
3) The snow scoop winter concerns. (Bonus: I don't think Mopar would have gone with a design that would do that. Customer freakout and lawsuit potential is too high I think)

Negatives:
Cost
I'm guessing it doesn't pull as much air with no scoop.

But for me, seeing the clean intake? Very pleased.
To me it solves the 3 negatives of the Vararam, (at greater cost).
Closed to hot air, Mopar made, better sealed to snow.

I think 700 is probably the lowest they will go, but you might try 695 ;-)

Installed Accessory battery.

Installed Dual Battery with Redarc Isolator

After installing Mopar’s “Ram Airflow” Cold-Air Intake System; I now have the room to install a second battery to run accessories without draining the starter battery. Does anyone know if the Battery Tray from the 2500's Passenger Side (Right) Battery Tray - Mopar (68350658AC) have the same...

I threw my compressor inside the factory air box for the rear air bags - decided on that over a second battery...

Questions about the intake. Is there anything that needs to be done after installing it? As far as sensors go? I was reading some reviews and one person said initial test was great but couldn’t wait till the sensors cleared. Not sure what he meant by that.

I installed the Mopar CAI after installing a Borla type s exhaust. However I’m not not impressed. Maybe I had higher expectations. It almost feels sluggish when I step on the gas which it wasn’t before.

could be nothing however I checked the sensor and it’s plugged it and installed correctly so not sure. Has anyone experienced this?

I didn't have any codes, lights, or issues after install. Definitely doesn't feel more sluggish, if anything a little more peppy but nothing crazy. Just looks and sounds nice.
