CARB Compliant Monster-Ram for 2007-2012 RAMs

The wait is over for early fourth-generation Cummins owners. The Banks Monster-Ram is now officially 50-state emissions compliant for 2007 to 2012 RAM trucks under CARB Executive Order D-161-164. Consequently, every 2007 to 2024 RAM 6.7L owner can enjoy quicker throttle response and better fuel economy legally. Drivers also gain complete peace of mind against catastrophic killer grid heater bolt drops.

The complete system includes a CNC-machined Banks High-Flow Billet Intake Plate. This plate permanently replaces the restrictive factory grid heater. Over time, stock heaters collect heavy EGR soot and choke airflow. In contrast, the Banks system provides an unobstructed air path with race-grade airflow.

Included in the kit is a Banks High-Flow Billet Intake Plate which replaces factory grid heater. Not only is the stock unit prone to failure, as it becomes caked in soot, the already-restrictive unit gets even worse for performance over time. With the Banks system, there’s nothing to impede airflow. No competitive intake even comes close to Monster-Ram‘s racecar level airflow.

Emissions Certification and the CARB Compliant Monster-Ram

Achieving 50-state emissions legality requires rigorous laboratory testing. Cheap aftermarket grid heater delete plates fail state inspections and cause hard winter starts. In contrast, the CARB compliant Monster-Ram earned Executive Order D-161-164 through proven emissions testing. Its vertical coil heater preserves sub-zero cold-weather starting reliability. RAM owners can now pass roadside inspections anywhere in North America with complete confidence.

Airflow engineering sets the Monster-Ram apart from all competitors. Factory 2007 to 2012 intake elbows choke air velocity with sharp internal bends. The Banks system features an expansive, free-flowing casting paired with an upgraded fuel line. This aerodynamic design flows 72.7 pounds per minute of air mass. That represents an 88.3 percent increase in mass airflow over stock, cutting pumping losses and lowering exhaust gas temperatures.
