AmericanTrucks Ram is this kit carb certified
Why you called cold air intake when you have a huge opening in you intake
Ohhh ineed this man
Out of all the upgraded air filters I have done through my almost 50 years. Not one has ever giving me any HP gains. It has always been the tune.
I disagree, I have had a cold air intake raise my top speed on a vehicle. Before I could not go over 127, after I hit 144 only single change. Even the temperature outside was with in 4-5 degrees, on the exact same road. That intake added mph so therefore it added HP. BTW, no tune was done.
@@johnsineni
Cool story
@@natturnerlearner167 to be specific the car was a 2000 Civic Si, and yes with only an AEM cold air intake it could redline 5th gear, 144 MPH. It also took .3 off in the 1/4 mile.
@@johnsineni lmao yea ok
@@youngblood23rb guess you have never driven a car with a b16a in it. But yeah the intake change did wake it up that much.
I really like the Black K&N CAI, but the MOPAR CAI, IMO is what I think I am leaning towards. A CAI might not give you a huge power gain, but it does make for a very nice throaty sound.
Shoulda left the tune out, or done a pre tune run apples to apples out the window.
I agree, makes the whole before and after tests null.
Ya really, most gains were probably from the tune.
Yep
Cold air intakes do absolutely nothing. You stock air box takes air from below the bay and now your taking hot air from the motor, even if it added 3-5hp, at 400$ that’s a fail in my books.
@@William_wayne84 Thanks Karen!
The title should read, “40HP Gain with only Cold Air intake & Tune!”
You could have simply tuned the truck previous to adding the cold air intake, then dyno it to see what the HP was before adding the intake and then another dyno run to see the gains. Or, run it on the dyno before adding the cold air intake then after without tuning. That would show legitimate HP gains for the add-on only. Then you could throw in the tune to get total HP Gains.
I agree.
I agree
This is a short ram intake. Cold air intakes hang all the way down to your bumper. Hence the name cold air intake. This one breaths hot air from the engine bay. Despite the heat shield. It's still hot.
The difference in the diameter of the intake tube and the free-flowing K&N filter itself is where the difference actually is, not the $350 kit.
Great video - Travis is really clear in his instruction! Well done.
Thank you! This video assisted me with a quick error free install!
Thanks for watching! -Zach
perfect!.... followed every step ...and got her done....Love The Added Horses....thanks @AmericanTrucksRam
The 5.7 hemi of this model is supposed to male 395hp wtf
395hp measured at the fly wheel. This is measured at the wheels, so it includes the loss of power through the drivetrain.
@@boardskateguy everyone thinks cranks hp is to the wheel hp lol, non car people 😂
Obviously someone is new to the car scene smh
Lol not to the wheel
The engine does, it just doesn’t get to the wheels with all the drivetrain shit taking power away
People don't buy into the marketing BS of K&N and CAI. Your factory intake is designed by ENGINEERS...leave it alone it works just fine. Noticed how they did dyno test with a tune. Why not do a dyno test without a tune to see how much HP is really gained.
Engineers also work at these companies. Honestly CAI systems vary from vehicle to vehicle. I've seen some lose HP and some gain it. I've also seen others that gain some but it's way up top. For example. I had a friend with an 02 Mustang GT Dyno after just an intake and gained a little over 6hp, I had a Ford Ranger 3.0L lose 2hp and I had a Grand Cherokee 4.7 HO that gained 13HP but it was almost at redline. They're hit or miss honestly and for 3-400 for one I'd much rather just get a programmer and leave it be. Or an exhaust and programmer to get the sound and gain a little.
Lionfish Hunter the “engineers” have different goals in mind. Engineers also design the shitty stock muffler... why? To be nice and mushy and quiet so everyone is happy.
Yes, 90% of the gains were probably the tune. But an aftermarket intake will help. Up to you if it’s worth hundreds of dollars or not.
Or maybe if you know what the hell your doing install it with its own tune
Most "Cold" air intakes pull air from inside the hot engine bay while most stock intakes pull air from the cooler area between the inner and outer fender. Restrictive yes but colder air. Better to get the Mopar kit to go with the sport hood. Functional hood scoop and less restriction.
When K&N makes a filter that takes out particles as low as the original equipment filters. I will consider buying. Why would I want dirty air going into my valve train?
Im confused how does this style of CAI get cold air sitting on top of a hot engine? Isnt Ram air the only true way?
Ram air or a true cold air intake like LMR makes for the Chargers. Most intake companies that make intakes like the one in this video claim that the weather strip and heat shield block out the heat when the hood is shut but that’s a crock. These kits typically cost over $300 and actually add weight to the vehicle too. Best bang for the buck is just a drop in K&N. Typically under $60, barely any heavier than stock and actually yields wheel hp gains because it doesn’t get heat soaked and draws cooler air from the fender through the factory air box.
Truth!
What size is that air filter and I was wondering if you could actually use a different brand air fliter
Wait Wait Wait you did a tune and got more power i wonder why explain the tune
I had a 77 series on my 2010. I just got a used 2013 and I’m curious how the Blackhawk compares to the series 77. I’m sure it’s not by much if any but which one has the better Gains ? I’m finding that 77 is a few dollars more than the Blackhawk. I was happy with the 77 and they really gave an awesome sound engine so I definitely want to keep that aggressive sound but would like to get the Blackhawk if it’s not much different than the 77
Thanks for these videos!
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Looks like one of them hot air intakes
Big wheels and tires will rob power that’s a given
I’ve had multiple ram trucks the last one I put on the Dino was a 2009 with a five speed it made
300 stock and with a tune it made 319
And for that matter some Dynos will show low or high depending on the brand
The one we were using was calibrated very well
I bought 4 K&N system's an I had to bring them back to the store. The pipe is 1/2 inch to small. It don't fit on the filter itself. I would like to know were to buy one.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Excellent tutorial and demonstration video!
Thanks for watching, Lucas! We appreciate it! -Zach
Hi guys, quick question for you,I loved the video and I am looking at installing the same cold air intake on my 2013 ram with a 5.7 hemi. I was also looking at changing my throttlebody to 187 mm and changing my thermostat to 180° thermostat. My question is do I need a tuner when I am done For it to run properly or am I good for a while without tuning it?
I love that change😂😂🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️
Installed and got a check engine light on my 17 RAM 1500
Hey, CJ! I would try disconnecting the battery if you haven't done so already, and let the power in the truck drain for a couple minutes before re-attaching and restarting. Sometimes that and letting the truck have some time to adjust to the new intake is needed for things to run properly. Also make sure all sensors and lines have been reattached properly. If you're still experiencing issues, give us a call at 1-888-706-1096 and we'll be happy to take care of you! -Zach
Great science, let's measure it on a dynamic after we install a filter AND tune it... how about you show the truck after you tune it and put the stock filter back on?
$343???? no way
Great deal for a tube and air filter! Haha
The truck makes 290 at the wheels? They come from the factory making 395 at the crank, they really lose over 100hp through the drive train? Im no expert by any means but I also find it hard to believe this would increase the power by anything more than 3 or 4hp.
Does it increase the MPG’s on it as well ?
What tune/programmer did you use?
Hi! Great K & N demo Vid! Should we actually use some Silicone Adhesive to "hold down" the weather stripping along the heat shield, or was it going on pretty tight? Was afraid I'd be looking at a rubbery chewed up snake mess under the hood on a hot summer day just off the side of the California 405 traffic nightmare fwy if I leave it be (and the weather stripping got loose).
It has a metal retaining clip in it and it takes a decent amount of effort to install. It won't come off easily
How did y'all get 200 HP my ram from factory gets 395hp can someone please explain to me
mr steal ur tune powertrain loss on trucks are pretty big. Typically around 20-40%, also the truck made 290hp not 200.
@@superdutyzack oh ok thanks
Do you recommend replacing the mock intakes on the sport hood, to functional ones allowing air into the hood? I’ve seen guys take them out and drill holes in the mock intake pieces to make them functional. What do you think?
What kind of “tunes” did you make?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Baby!
Wow! I'm glad that I found this channel! My favorite channel now!
man I hope I win that sweepstakes this is what I need
With the side of the air box being open for the AC line, wouldn't it be a HOT air intake?
My thought too, and what about water if it is pouring out, at hwy speed...I wonder..
Have you ever done any long term testing to see if it causes any MFAS issues????
That’s a cool way to not cut the hose, I think ima get this black one
Thought the hemi 5.7 made 395 hp
would a new bigger throttle body with the new air intake improve the numbers MORE??
Oops guess I'm shit out of luck I don't know where I left my 10mm socket guess I can't do this upgrade now...
You said you put an “ approached tune” on. How do I go about getting the proper tune.
How does this compare to the Series 77? The high flow!! This one seems to be about $20 cheaper. I’ve had the 77 before and it had an awesome sound when accelerating and I’m curious if the Blackhawk will be equal.
What tuner was used on this truck?
How did it dyno without the tune? (Just the intake)
Experienced mechanics say adding these types of "upgrades" will throw everything out of whack in the long run. The entire vehicle functions and is designed as one. Similar with the human body when surgery replacement of an organ. The foreign organ is always rejected and the person must take all sorts of drugs so the body might, for a while at least, not die.
if you remove clean filter at all, it will not made 40hp power gain(only if was very dirty)
If you ALMOST close your hood and peek inside, you’ll see the hood doesn’t NEARLY close down on the heat shield. There was about 1-1/2” gap above it; PLUS the big gap where the A/C pipes go through= useless heat shield.
On my 2019, I bought a $70 K&N cone filter and just stuck it on the end of my intake pipe. Same thing, but $400 less! Come on K&N, this setup is so Mickey Mouse! 🙄🙄🙄
Man they need to redesign that cheap air sensor input. I got a flow master cai and was looking to replace it but looks like KN did the same thing smh
Anyone know the best place in 2022 for Ram mods like grill, headlight upgrade? So many places to choose. Thanks in advance
How is this not a hot air intake?
Technically it is. It's a short ram intake breathing hot air from the engine bay. Cold air intakes stick out all the way to the bumpers breathing air from outside the engine bay. Hence the name cold air intakes.
@@911Fuser so this is a hot air intake, got it.
Im planning to buy my first intake for my ram 1500, what are the differences between the 63 series and the black hawk one ? Other than the price lol plzz and thanks!!
Is there any difference between the black and purple filter? The purple one appears to be $70 less.
What cold air intakes y’all recommend for 2011dodge Ram 1500 4.7 flex fuel
For this video did you use a premade tuner or was it custom tuned? If it was premade what tuner did you use?
I have an S&B and it works just as great..I'm not sold on K&N sorry
At least S&B usually has the filter fully enclosed so it’s not drawing as much heat
Does the Blackhawk air intake smog legal for cal
Great video but music is a bit obnoxious
I bought this kit but there’s no hole in the tube to put the grommet just a divot marking where the hole should be. Do you know what size hole it’s supposed to be? I emailed k&n but they haven’t responded.
What kind of Tune did you use?
Can it be returned if a tune is meet with this airtake and gains are not thair?
Is there any effect to extreme cold temps ie like middle winter Alaska?
How can it be a cold air intake when your pulling hot air from the engine bay? My CIA in my mustang plumbed into the fender so it collected the air from outside
Exactly. It's not. It's a short ram intake. False advertising.
What tune did you use?
I have a 2005 1500 with a hemi, can I install this K&N cold air intake?
Are there any upgrades for the ecodiesel?
do you need the weather stripping?
I thought the 5.7 hemi hp was over 390+
Why is the video saying 290 hp?
Anyone ?
I have always been told that a run of the mill dyno will only give and idea of a change in horsepower and torque not an actual value so more than likely the increase is accurate but the actual value is incorrect
Dyno is showing HP at the wheels, after drivetrain loss. 390 is at the crank
All comes down to drivetrain loss, sadly! That 5.7L is still making 390 at the crank but through heat and friction in the drivetrain it drops by the time it gets to the tire. -Zach
What does that air filter do other than change the look?
Would there be any way to mod this cold air intake to make it fit a 2019 Ram 1500 new model? I got one sitting in my garage that a friend gave me but says it's only for old model.
do you have to disconnect the battery
+40 hp..yea right..other video says +68 too
🤣🤣
Why not 100hp?
Just changing the air filter is not going to give you that much more horsepower there's just no way if that was true people that drag race stock automobiles would take their air filter off before each run. . You're not going to get any more air flow than what the computer will let go in there
Maybe take the exhaust manifold completely off engine and run it like that plus maybe a 12 inch diameter intake hose that's 1 inch long from throttle body so no curves at all for airflow before entering intake. And maybe get 2-5hp gain.
What was used for the tune? Diablo, Bullydog, HPtuner, another one?
You dont need to know that just buy the dam intake! Lol
The tune is more important dummy
Do you guys know what size the rubber o ring is that goes around the little sensor the plugs into the intake tube??
Is it true that you can’t install one of these if you’re running a lift on your truck? I went to the site and it said you can’t and then I called and was told the same thing. I’m hearing other information so I want to make sure before I spend the money
Davaines B what does having a lift have anything to do with your engine bay lol
if there any benefit to having the breather hose attached or not attached ?
Why odd the 5.7 advertised with 395 hp.. I know that’s to the crank but 290?!
Is there anything for the 19+ 3.6L?
There sure is! Check out the following link for a nice exhaust from AFE! -Zach
www.americantrucks.com/afe-ram1500-rapid-induction-cold-air-intake-pro-5r-oiled-filter-black-52-10002r.html
Should do one on the 3.6 L V6!
You won’t get a nice throaty sound in the v6 like the 5.7 hemi
Do you need a tune
Thanks
Was this an 89 octane tune or a 91 or 93?
Which tune did you put on it?
Can this go on a non-hemi 2018 Ram Tradesman? I’m not as cool as the guys with the green to buy the hemi.
This will not fit on a 3.6L V6 RAM, but the following link will show you an intake that does! -Zach
www.americantrucks.com/k-n-series-77-high-flow-performance-cold-airtake-1317-36l.html
Damn the 5.7 looses 100 hp through the drive train? Or do those wheels have to do with anything?
Will this shot in engine code
Did you use a canned tune or custom tune? I have the superchips F5 tuner for my ram. Wondering is the 91 octane tune would expose some of the potential of this mod.
This is simply a canned tune. You could expect more with a custom tune. -- Travis
what trim of ram did you use
Wet or dry filter ?
I cut the hose and didn't have to :( oh well, install came out good. I wish I saw this video before, 3 hours too late lol
Did you gain any horse power
Great vid, I want to do this on my Ram!
You definitely should! Hit up our site whenever you're looking to buy for some of the other options we carry. Thanks for watching! -Zach
Factory specs for a 2014 Ram w/5.7:
HP: 395 @5600 RPM
TQ: 410 @3950 RPM
Why is the dyno so low compared to the factory specs?
Because the factory specs are to the flywheel. And the dyno is to the wheels. You lose a lot of HP between the flywheel and the rear wheels.
I didn't know factory specs were at the flywheel. What a rip-off!
Thanks for the response.
@@bluegrasspointofview5191 yea it sounds better to the flywheel. Lol 😂
What brand of wheels are on this truck?
There's a reason why they didn't do a test without a tune.
All them hot airs.
Outta here with that click bait title
Why does this 5.7 have only 290 hp stock mine has 395 hp stock
All comes down to drivetrain loss! HP at the crank is less compared to HP at the wheels. -Zach
California Emissions compliant?
Of course not. 😅 nothing is compliant with commifornia.
How to clean it?
We sell cold air intake filter cleaning kits! It's a spray-on cleaning solution that you rinse out, then you let the filter dry and re-oil it after. -Zach
