Key Features

The aFe Track Series Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake combines advanced engineering with quality components to deliver a superior upgrade for your Ram TRX. Key features include:

• 100% twill weave carbon fiber intake tube for lightweight strength and durability
• Open-element XLPE housing that blocks hot engine air and draws in cooler outside air
• Seamless integration with factory hood scoop and grille inlet—no extra hardware required
• Premium stainless steel clamps and high-flex silicone couplings for secure, heat-resistant fitment
• Direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points—no cutting or modifications needed
• Clear-coated carbon fiber tube for long-lasting finish and visual appeal

Filter Options

This intake system includes two filter media options to suit different driving preferences and conditions:

• Pro DRY S (Oil-Free): A three-layer synthetic media filter designed for maximum convenience and daily street use. It is oil-free, washable, and offers excellent filtration and dust capacity without the need for re-oiling.
• Pro 5R (Pre-Oiled): A five-layer cotton gauze filter engineered for maximum airflow and horsepower gains. Pre-oiled and ready to use, it is ideal for spirited street driving or track applications.

Construction & Design

The intake tube is crafted from pure twill weave carbon fiber with zero fiberglass content, ensuring a lightweight yet incredibly strong component. This material choice not only reduces weight but also resists heat soak, helping maintain cooler intake temperatures for better performance. The carbon fiber tube is computer-designed and dyno-tested to optimize airflow and maximize horsepower gains.

The large air filter is housed within an open-element enclosure made from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) polymer. This housing effectively blocks warm engine air while drawing in cooler ambient air, enhancing engine efficiency. Its open design also improves intake sound and allows for easy filter inspection without disassembly.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory intake, the aFe Track Series Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake improves engine breathing, resulting in enhanced throttle response and potential horsepower gains. The open-element design amplifies the intake sound, providing a more aggressive and sporty engine note that complements the Ram TRX’s performance character.

Installation & Fitment

This intake system is designed for a direct bolt-on installation using existing factory mounting points. It requires no cutting, drilling, or modifications, making it a straightforward upgrade for both professional installers and experienced enthusiasts. The system integrates seamlessly with the factory hood scoop and grille inlet, maintaining the vehicle’s original appearance and functionality.
