K&N 03-08 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 V8 5.7L Performance Intake Kit
The K&N 71-1533 Blackhawk Induction air intake system delivers more power to your 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 or 3500 with 5.7L V8 engine. This kit replaces the stock air filter and intake tube with a powder-coated aluminum tube and oil-free DRYFLOW synthetic filter for higher airflow and better engine protection. A steel heat shield blocks engine bay heat to pull in cooler air and improve throttle response.
Key Features
- DRYFLOW Synthetic Filter: Oil-free layered media increases airflow while trapping dirt for long-lasting engine protection and cleaning only every 50,000 miles under highway conditions
- Black Powder-Coated Aluminum Tube: Mandrel-bent design smooths airflow from filter to throttle body for gains in horsepower and torque
- Steel Heat Shield: Shields incoming air from underhood heat to maintain dense cool air charge and consistent performance
- Easy Bolt-On Design: Replaces factory components directly with no cutting or permanent modifications required
- High-Flow Engineering: Dyno-tested to deliver measurable power increases across the RPM range
Product Notes
- Installs in 90 minutes or less using basic hand tools with no vehicle disassembly beyond airbox removal
- Clean filter every 50,000 miles with K&N cleaning kit for sustained performance
- Ships in protective box measuring 20.25 x 12.5 x 9.75 inches with product weight of 10.3 lbs
