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

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

Have only had on my 2014 ram 1500 for a week now, but can definitely hear a sound difference. Install was not too hard. The pictures in the directions are unclear but some basic knowledge and it goes in fine. For the price I cant complain to much, half the price of k&n for the same results.

I’m loving the performance of this Cold air intake, but couldn’t rate a 5 stars due to the terrible instructions that came with it, and at least on my 2020 Ram 1500 Classic, the tube really could be about an inch or so longer. I found the instructions on Rough Country’s web site, which the better pics and print helped, but still could use more information in the last few steps.The tube was barely long enough to grip good with the clamps on the motor end. Several times the pipe would slip out while tightening the clamp. I was able to back up and loosen the flex piece on the intake, and get the pipe tight, and had to angle the connection on the intake to get everything right. Other than that, this system looks good and has made a performance improvement.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (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.

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

Do yourself a favor and buy a completely enclosed system. Directions are terrible and hard to see. Videos are not great on either. Bends are off on pipe, has a lot of pressure on rubber joints, clamps broke on me after adjusting boots. It comes with connectors for a rubber hose and the hose rips when you put it on the 90 degree elbow. The air sensor grommet is lose and will let some air in. Took me over two hours to install and again was not worth buying. This was like buying the cheapest kit you can find on eBay.

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.

All of the reviews was hit and miss. Was nervous weather it would work or not but received everything needed for the instal. It took prolly longer then should have on installation but it was 10 degrees out lol so I recommend waiting for a warm day for the hoses and couplers to fit and stretch. Looks great on my 2010 ram and definitely breaths better!
