Should you, or should you not remove the intake baffle on the 5th Gen 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel trucks!?! I tried on my 2021 Cummins, but actually failed... Turns out in the 5th Gens, Ram made the "new and improved intakes" on the trucks designed a little differently than the 4th Gen trucks... there was no foam to take out!!

Marion Blair did a great video on this topic here: • Ram 6.7L Cummins Air I...

This video was still useful to let those with 2020+ trucks know there is no foam. Saved me on time
Thank you for that info!
The air going to the bottom and wearing out bearings i call bullshit. Spent the last 10 years building power plant turbines, the turbine itself is pulling air in, its not being forced into itself down the tube, its pulling the volume of air directly in front if itself evenly there is no way its only pulling air to the bottom, ever. Trust me if a banks intake doesnt have one its bullshit. Cummins doenst even design that intake its mopar ram
I call bullshit on the bearing wearing out. My 3 gen doesn't have a baffle and it still on the stock turbo
Good theory on baffle removal, I’m just not seeing it as a detriment. Performance engines, don’t have baffles and do just fine. Air volume is air volume, it’s not going to pick one spot of the turbine wheel to pass through. Only real way to tell is to put it on the dyno, not a just a scanner and butt dyno and do a before and after resonator delete. For some extra mpg, as long as it’s under warranty I’d take that sucker out and put it back in before servicing since it only takes 2 minutes to remove
I wanted to hear it without it
So the title for this video is bs?
I mean, yes and no… if you remove the baffle, it’ll definitely make the turbo noise more audible… I chose not to because I heard of negative effects to removing it entirely. If you watch the video, I specifically tell you that the purpose was to remove the intake baffles green foam that typically is wrapped around the baffle itself. Although come to find, that that 5th gen Rams do not come with the foam as the 4th gens previously did. Looking back, and noticing after replacing the intake housing itself, I should’ve went for a ride with the baffle completely removed to see the actual difference… turns out we’re all not perfect and it slipped my mind while filming 🤷🏻♀️
2015 3500 with 167k miles deleted at 120k wen the DEF fault started counting down $3500 dealer quote to fix it $2100 to delete tune straight pipe exhaust. Still on original brakes rotors and always run exhaust brake and use tow haul mode which is pretty much same thing as sport mode for all the cars.
You should have watch this video and you would have known there was no foam... After market cold air/ram air intakes do nothing for power or throttle response. ALL stock vehicles are designed to be able to take more air in than a stock engine will ever want. Unless you are doing internal mods to the engine and exhaust you're just wasting money.
Every single proven performance intake deletes the baffle.
I have a 4th gen I removed it tiny bit louder I put it back in figured anything went wrong dealer would say I modified it wasn't like it made much difference. I still have the Mopar warranty.
Just a heads up on terminology. The incoming air enters the compressor of the turbo not the turbine. The exhaust gasses are what interact with the turbine. No biggie just a friendly FYI
I’ll take the MPG over the power gains. I stopped drag racing my truck when I grew up.
Just a heads up, if you want to save your brakes put the exhaust break to on instead of auto. Auto only works when you press the breaks on the truck whereas On works when you take your foot off the gas.
I prefer keeping mine set on auto. This way I can still leverage the ability to coast when I lift off the pedal, and just a tap on the brakes gets it to engage. Auto also helps maintain speed on downgrades, particularly when using cruise control, but also works without it.
occasionally I like to coast.. sure if i'm pulling our 5th wheel but why would you run the exhaust brake all the time.
It keeps your turbo clean to run it on auto all the time
@@ELITEAUTOBODY23 it also puts crazy strain on your cylinder head, id much rather swap brakes than a head gasket.
@@Charlie-zo2nuI read somewhere ram is the only one with beast head gasket which is why they were even the first to put exhaust brakes on pick up trucks.
Guys. Hes not gonna take out the foam...
Exactly!! Because in 2021 trucks they don’t have the foam 😮😮😮
I’d leave the baffle out.
I removed the baffle of my 5th Gen and yes, the Turbo sounds a little bit louder
Did it change anything
@@ronportillo3851 No
The dimples on the surface can create small eddies that the airflow rides over supplying the turbo with a nonturbulent flow. The air can travel faster and cleaner over those eddies.
Aftermarket intakes don’t add a baffle, and they gain hp. The stock setup with reduced restrictions is a cheap alternative to an aftermarket intake. Likely that theory on the air not hitting the center of the turbine is exactly what it is, a theory and has no solid proof. Likely they felt what most people do when adding an intake is a slight loss on the bottom end. Ive never seen a high horsepower engine have adverse affects from a free flowing intake. You make lose alittle bottom end due to the free flow, but you pick it back up top.
Why didn't ya take it out just to show the difference in ur video.. waste of a video..
I got a 22 and was going to take that out on mine and seen that and said fuck it and just left it in
It’s not that dam loud … compared to my 3rd gen … it’s quite…
Think the newer trucks are more quiet in general... 2nd gen swap and some supporting mods will surely change the sound.
Drill one of the existing Holes On each One of the Cross bases Try it And repeat that As many times as You feel it needs to get that sweet spot
Everyone wants to be Gale Banks lol....j/k . Thumbs up! Thanks for trying and the heads up!
never was into his homework as a kid .
I can't here the turbo at all lol
Good looking out save me time
I just picked up my 2023 3500, I noticed a little more turbi noise than my 2020. Was nice to be able to hear it whistle
Noticed your in grb so am I lol
What’s the part # for that center intake clamp that you broke? Looking to get a replacement myself.
Not sure… ran to harbor freight and bought a 5” clamp to replace it.
I think the divided baffle is more about air velocity, and less about sound. The vanes of the turbo divide the air into each passage of the impeller.
This trucks are so slow without a tune🐢🐢
Most diesels are supposed to be tow rigs, not a pavement princess 😐
want to fix it banks intake
Shit i dont even care much about this channel no more since the chevys gone, sorry yoo
Understandable
@@JohnWargo93 not much people have that cummings, your veiws prolly went down alot since, i’ll stay subcribed tho. 👍🏼
Enjoy!!
@@dg-man211 yeah man they definitely have dropped off since the switch… appreciate the support for the last few years
@@JohnWargo93 stay motivated
Cummins is much better anyway. I have a 5th gen myself
Thanks for the video! I just bought a 22 yesterday and was planning on doing this tomorrow
Absolutely! Enjoy the truck!
Was there one on the 22?
@@kyleb8820 I didn’t look because of this. Maybe I’ll check just to be sure
Ok sounds good let me know. I was gonna tear into mine lol
@@chadstellwagen3460 Was there any foam in your ‘22 ?
Swing and a miss
Reminds me of my 06 5.9 baffle!
I just got the sinister intake and it’s crazy whistle over stock
Just wondering if you can get a state inspection sticker with those wheels sticking out from the fender.Here in Massachusetts it's illegal to stick out past the fenders.
Same here in PA… I put the stock wheels back on for state inspection.
Yea everything is just easy with safetyhakz on tele-gram helped fixed mine within minutes 💯 legit strongly recommend
That’s super gay
@@grahamdavis1821 that’s the goal sexy man 😍😍😍 glad you like
@@grahamdavis1821 are you a homo sapien
what size are your wheels please let me know
22x12 -44
What kind and style is that wheel also the tires my pickup is just like your except for tires and wheel. Also did you do any modifications like lift or level. Thank you.
Why does it look like Kentucky
No tire sensors with the new rims or just not calibrated?
Gotta be honest, I’m not sure if there are sensors in the wheels or not. Guy I bought them from had an 06 Duramax so if there are any in them they probably wouldn’t link up too well so I honestly haven’t looked just assuming they’re not there, or that they’re just the wrong ones for the truck 🤷🏻♀️
Yea everything is just easy with safetyhakz on tele-gram helped fixed mine within minutes, 💯 legit strongly recommend.
The sensors must have a really narrow range, I put 22x12s on my 21 and the driver side won't read after 6months
You should leave your truck alone.
But then there wouldn’t be videos for people like you to comment like a douche on to make me money on 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Boring
Do you have a exhaust delete on that truck. I seen u still had the EGR just wondering
Wheel and tire setup? Stock ride height?
22x12 -44 and 33x12.50. 100% stock ride height.
@@JohnWargo93 what brand are the wheels they look awesome
@@logancook4790 in this video they’re Tis Offroad 544Cs!!
Are you going to Delete your Truck?
Soon 🤫
I just gat a 21 3500 laramie this is my first truck wat deleted mean?
@@jorgeponce787 it deletes the DPF and SCR and sometimes blocks the egr/deletes it entirely.
Basically straight pipe past the emissions equipment.
@@justanotheraviator2357 it worth it wbt warranty?
@@jorgeponce787 sounds great, voids warranty, I honestly am fine with it as is, as long as you take care of it, it'll take care of you
That baffle dont do shit for sound.just makes the truck spool quicker when u smash on it.and get a hi flow air filter youll get better mpg.
Which high flow filter do you recommend
@@meseahunt k&n i use
