Banks Power Boost Tube Upgrade Kit
2010–2012 Dodge / RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins
Part #: 25964
Overview
The Banks Power Boost Tube Upgrade Kit is engineered to significantly enhance the airflow in your 2010–2012 Dodge and RAM 2500/3500 equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Designed as a direct replacement for the factory boost tubes, this kit increases the flow area by up to 37% compared to the stock plastic tubes. By improving airflow, the Banks boost tubes allow your turbocharger to spool faster and support higher fuel delivery, resulting in increased horsepower and improved engine responsiveness.
Ideal for enthusiasts running the Banks Monster-Ram intake or those seeking to maximize their truck’s performance, this upgrade kit is compatible with both the stock elbow and Banks’ 3.5" or 4" Monster-Ram systems. It enhances boost retention and reduces exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), contributing to better overall engine efficiency and durability.
Key Features
This boost tube upgrade kit offers a range of performance and durability benefits designed to optimize your Cummins diesel engine’s turbocharging system:
- Increases flow area up to 37% over stock boost tubes for improved airflow
- 3.5" constant diameter tubing, larger than the factory 3.0" tubes
- Mandrel-bent aluminized steel construction with smooth, large-radius bends
- Compatible with stock elbow and Banks Monster-Ram intake systems (3.5" or 4")
- Improves turbocharger spool-up time for quicker boost response
- Enhances intercooler efficiency by maintaining boost pressure and air density
- Heavy-duty 4- and 5-ply silicone couplers designed for high-temperature, high-boost conditions
- Spring-loaded constant tension clamps ensure a secure, leak-free connection
- Available in raw aluminized steel finish for durability and corrosion resistance
Construction & Design
The Banks Power Boost Tube Upgrade Kit is crafted from high-quality aluminized steel, chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and heat tolerance. The tubes are mandrel bent to maintain a constant 3.5" diameter throughout, eliminating restrictions caused by sharp bends or diameter changes. This precision engineering ensures smooth airflow and maximizes turbocharger efficiency.
The design features larger radius bends compared to stock tubes, reducing turbulence and pressure drop. The raw aluminized finish provides a durable surface that withstands harsh under-hood conditions while allowing for a secure grip where the silicone couplers attach. The couplers themselves are constructed from heavy-duty, multi-ply silicone to resist heat and pressure, while spring-loaded clamps maintain constant tension to prevent leaks or boot failures under high boost.
Performance & Sound
By increasing the boost tube diameter and improving flow characteristics, this upgrade kit helps your turbocharger spool faster and more efficiently. The result is quicker throttle response and the ability to support higher horsepower levels when combined with appropriate fueling and tuning. Additionally, improved boost retention between the turbocharger and intercooler helps lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), contributing to engine longevity and consistent performance under load.
Installation & Fitment
The Banks Power Boost Tube Upgrade Kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory boost tubes on 2010 to 2012 Dodge and RAM 2500/3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Installation requires no modifications and fits perfectly with the stock intercooler or aftermarket intercoolers that maintain stock inlet and outlet sizes and locations. The kit also integrates seamlessly with Banks Monster-Ram intake systems for those seeking maximum airflow upgrades.
What's Included
- 3.5" mandrel-bent aluminized steel boost tubes (cold side)
- 4- and 5-ply heavy-duty silicone couplers
- Spring-loaded constant tension clamps
- Installation hardware and instructions
Ideal For
This upgrade kit is perfect for Dodge and RAM 2500/3500 owners with the 6.7L Cummins who want to improve turbocharger efficiency, increase horsepower potential, and enhance overall engine performance. It is especially beneficial for those running Banks Monster-Ram intake systems or aftermarket intercoolers, as well as anyone looking to replace fragile stock plastic boost tubes with a durable, high-flow solution designed for heavy-duty use and high-boost applications.
