Rough Country Cold Air Intake for 09-18 Ram 1500/19-24 Classic | 5.7L - 10614

It was very easy to install the sound it makes is amazing it looks great on my 2012 ram cheap and affordable. Should get better gas mileage with this RC cold air intake

I’m no mechanic but I am god with my hands. This product took a little bit of time to connect into my truck, and I did have to hit the auto store to buy a fitting to make it work, but overall it was an easy install for me and I love the sound it gives me. It feels like it has a little more power and it’s giving me a couple more miles per gallon at least.

Only four stars because the instructions that are included are crap, and the intake hose crimps when installed. HOWEVER, it gave my truck an awesome growl that I absolutely love. I don't know if it gave a performance boost because I also installed the Pedal Commander the day before, but it's worth the money just for the sound.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (Value)⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ (Ease of Install)This intake offers decent value for the price, but be prepared for some frustration during the install. Like others have mentioned, my kit was missing a few parts (a bolt, nut, and one unusable clamp). When I contacted Rough Country, they advised me to just pick up replacements at a local hardware store—not exactly the level of customer service I was hoping for.Installation was tricky. The included instructions were printed in black and white and were so washed out they were nearly useless. I initially followed a third-party video, which led to poor fitment. Eventually, I found a much better PDF version of the instructions on RC’s website—definitely recommend starting there.One big issue was the vacuum hose routing. Their design causes the hose to kink unless you get creative. They include a 90-degree elbow to help, but there are no instructions on how to use it. I had to improvise with parts from the OEM intake and modify the provided hose to make everything fit properly. If you're not mechanically experienced, this install could be frustrating.That said, once installed, it sounds fantastic—deep and aggressive under throttle. I’m also hoping to see a small boost in fuel efficiency over time, though it’s too early to say for sure.The build quality is okay, but not quite up to the level of something like K&N. The clamps feel a bit cheap, and I wish the filter came pre-oiled. All in all, it’s a decent budget-friendly option, as long as you’re comfortable doing a bit of problem-solving during install.

Install was easy but could be cut to shape exact fitment and the grommet for the map sensors needs to be more oem to lock in place

It didn't fit my ram. It didn't come close to fitting. The tube was about 2 inches too short. The best thing was the box itself. It fit decently enough you could forgive it. The vent tube didn't fit correctly due to the adapter being straight and not 90 degrees. The silicon pieces fit ok but could have been a bit longer to get a good seal. 0 stars. Easy to install and if it worked I would say it's as good as a K&N but I never got to try it. Price is definitely great but I'm guessing if they did it correctly it would cost more due to materials.

It works great but had a little extra work to put it on because of the shape. Had to take the mount for the original one off first. It is worth it though.

I don't know if it was just poor workmanship, but this was by far the worst install I've ever had to do for what is considered a bolt on mod. Parts needed to be bent to fit the right angles, clamps were too small and needed to be muscled on. Heck, one of the hose clamps were broken and I had to fix it. The rubber hose that has to attach to the factory breather barely fits on to the factory breather etc. Heck ikea furniture comes with hex keys, they couldn't be bothered to send one with the kit since they used hex screws? All in all, I expected better build quality. By the time I WANTED to give up, I was already too late and had made some cuts on factory parts so I was all in. Good thing I'm mechanically inclined. Once installed, it seems like it's working just fine. Sounds great, performance gains might take a while to see cause i've got my foot in it all the time to hear it.
