K&N Performance Air Intake System for the 2009 and 2010 Dodge Ram with a 5.7L Hemi V8 engine.

2009 saw the introduction of a new rear suspension for the Ram that greatly improved ride quality and comfort. Additionally, the 5.7L Hemi V8 engine underwent several refinements boosting power while also increasing fuel economy.

While the new Ram is great right off of the assembly line, engineers at K&N have a knack for spotting potential for further improvement. K&N seized the opportunity to build one of their Performance Air Intake Systems (63-1561) for the 2009-2010 Ram 5.7L Hemi V8 models.

K&N Performance Air Intake installed on Dodge Ram 5.7 liter HEMI engine. K&N dyno tests each Performance Air Intake System and guarantees an increase in horsepower.

K&N’s Research and Development Department tested a 2009 Dodge Ram 5.7L Hemi V8 on their in-house dynamometer. With the addition of K&N’s new Performance Air Intake System (63-1561), Ram owners can realize an incredible gain of 15.66 more horsepower and 17.54 ft-lbs of torque @ 4688 RPM.

K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow. This allows your engine to pull in air with ease compared to the OEM air filter assembly. More air means more power and torque when you need it. With a K&N Performance Air Intake System, consumers can count on extra horsepower whether towing, off-roading, or hauling six passengers plus gear to a job site.

This air intake system uses a conical shaped chrome top high-flow air filter (RF-1044) and powder coated aluminum heat shield in place of the vehicle’s stock air box. The result is an air filter that captures harmful particles, provides more surface area, and flows more air for extra power. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required under normal highway driving conditions. Improving the air path between the filter and the motor is the rotationally molded high-density polyethylene tube. It offers a great deal of flexibility in design and outstanding horsepower numbers. It takes about 90 minutes or less to install this system with simple tools and it is covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.

For increased protection and style, K&N offers Drycharger^® filter wraps that can be used in conjunction with part number 63-1561. Drychargers® are made from a durable polyester material containing uniform micron openings which will stop small dirt particles and repel water; yet add little restriction to the airflow of the air filter. Available in a variety of colors, K&N Drychargers® can be color coordinated with a vehicle’s finish.
