PPE Zilla Carbon Fiber Intake Tube

2020–2023 Ram 1500 3.0L EcoDiesel

Part #: 215020370

The PPE Zilla Carbon Fiber Intake Tube is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the Ram 1500 equipped with the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine from 2020 through 2023. This premium intake tube replaces the factory plastic component with a lightweight, durable carbon fiber alternative engineered to improve airflow and throttle response. It is ideal for Ram owners seeking enhanced torque, sharper engine response, and a more engaging driving experience without sacrificing reliability or fitment.

Combining advanced materials with precision engineering, the PPE Zilla Intake Tube not only boosts performance but also elevates the visual appeal of the engine bay with its sleek carbon fiber finish. This upgrade is perfect for enthusiasts who want to maximize their EcoDiesel’s potential while maintaining factory mounting points and ease of installation.

Key Features

Engineered to optimize airflow and durability, the PPE Zilla Carbon Fiber Intake Tube offers several standout features:

• Constructed from 100% genuine dry/prepreg carbon fiber for superior strength and lightweight performance
• Finished with a clear coat that highlights the carbon fiber weave and resists environmental wear
• Eliminates the factory turbo resonator to reduce airflow restrictions and enhance turbocharger sound
• Designed with smooth, natural transitions to minimize flow turbulence and maximize volumetric efficiency
• Maintains all factory mounting points, including the CCV hose inlet, ensuring a direct bolt-on fit
• Improves throttle response and torque delivery through optimized intake airflow
• Handcrafted quality typically found in supercar components
• Includes all necessary clamps and hardware for straightforward installation

Construction & Design

The intake tube is meticulously handcrafted from 100% genuine dry/prepreg carbon fiber, a material known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to heat and corrosion. This ensures a rigid, durable component capable of withstanding the demanding conditions of the engine bay while reducing weight compared to the factory plastic intake.

The internal surface is smooth and carefully contoured to eliminate abrupt cross-sectional changes found in the stock intake, which often cause airflow turbulence and reduce efficiency. The clear coat finish not only protects the carbon fiber but also adds a refined, high-end appearance that complements the engine bay’s aesthetics.

Performance & Sound

By removing the restrictive turbo resonator and optimizing the intake path, the PPE Zilla Carbon Fiber Intake Tube enhances turbocharger efficiency and responsiveness. This results in a sharper throttle feel and improved torque delivery, especially noticeable during acceleration and under load. Additionally, the intake tube amplifies the turbo whistle, providing an engaging auditory feedback that enthusiasts appreciate without being intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

The PPE Zilla Intake Tube is designed as a direct replacement for the factory intake tube on 2020–2023 Ram 1500 models equipped with the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine. It retains all factory mounting points, including the CCV hose inlet, so no modifications or additional adapters are required. Installation is straightforward and can be completed with basic hand tools, making it accessible for both professional installers and experienced DIYers.
