CORSA Performance Cold Air Intake

Ram 1500 / 1500 Classic / 2500 / 3500 13-23 5.7L Hemi

Part #: 46457

The CORSA Performance Cold Air Intake is engineered specifically for Ram trucks equipped with the 5.7L Hemi engine from 2011 through 2018, including the 1500, 2500, and 3500 models. Designed to optimize airflow and enhance engine performance, this intake system replaces the restrictive factory air intake with a high-flow, free-breathing design. It is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved throttle response, increased horsepower potential, and enhanced engine efficiency without the need for tuning.

By delivering cooler, denser air to the engine, the CORSA Cold Air Intake helps maximize combustion efficiency and power output. This system is perfect for both daily drivers and performance-minded owners who want a reliable upgrade that balances power gains with long-term durability.

Key Features

The CORSA Cold Air Intake combines advanced filtration technology with durable construction to deliver consistent performance gains and engine protection. Key features include:

• High-performance MaxFlow 5 oiled cotton gauze air filter with five layers for superior filtration and airflow
• Pre-oiled filter media for immediate use and extended maintenance intervals up to 40,000 miles depending on driving conditions
• Closed box air intake system design to shield the filter from engine heat and ensure cooler air intake
• Air duct and box constructed from cross-linked polyethylene for durability and heat resistance
• No tuning required for installation, maintaining factory engine management settings
• Optimized airflow path to outflow stock intake systems and increase overall engine performance
• Compatible with both on-road and off-road driving conditions

Construction & Design

The intake system features a robust closed box design made from cross-linked polyethylene, a material known for its strength and resistance to heat and chemicals. This construction helps isolate the intake air from engine bay heat, ensuring cooler air reaches the engine for better combustion. The air duct is also crafted from the same durable polyethylene, providing a smooth, unrestricted airflow path.

The MaxFlow 5 filter uses premium oiled cotton gauze layered five times and sandwiched between aluminum screens. This design allows for maximum airflow while effectively trapping dirt and contaminants, extending filter life and reducing maintenance frequency.

Performance & Sound

The CORSA Cold Air Intake improves engine breathing, which can lead to enhanced throttle response and potential power gains by increasing the volume of cooler, denser air entering the combustion chamber. Additionally, the intake system produces a subtle, aggressive induction sound that enhances the driving experience without being intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and designed to be a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory air intake system on 2011–2018 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks with the 5.7L Hemi engine. No modifications or tuning are required, making it an accessible upgrade for enthusiasts and professional installers alike. All necessary hardware and instructions are included to ensure a smooth installation process.
