RHO intake testing

Are you getting any more turbo noise from the intakes at all?

Yes, im getting a lot more turbo induction sound and you can also hear the oem blow off valve.

Do you think that’s just down to a larger/less restrictive intake tube?

It's the OEM air filter, it's extremely thick but that's because it's made for off-road/baja style trails which would require the extra filtration. I would say that it's about 3-inches thick. Those of us who won't ever run the truck in those conditions don't need the extra filtration. My intake will allow you to switch from the OEM filter and an aftermarket filter. That way when you do feel a bit froggy, you can swap the filters and enjoys the trails.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on a custom intake system for our trucks that takes full advantage of the OEM hood scoop outlet. This setup will feature a larger, less restrictive filter compared to the stock one. The OEM filter is designed with off-road use in mind, which is why it’s so thick and restrictive.

With this system, you’ll be able to easily swap between the OEM filter and the performance filter that comes with it—giving you flexibility depending on your needs.

In the video, you can hear the turbo spool along with the OEM blow-off/diverter/bypass valve. The clip was recorded with the windows down for a better sound preview.

Hello.I have 03 Ram 2500 quad cab sb 4x4 5.7 hemi. Looking to replace the intake manifold, we can only find 04 manifolds. What is the difference between the 2 years?

You should ask this question on the www.HDRams.com forum. This site is for the 1500 RHO (a very specific trim in the 5th Generation Ram 1500 lineup).
