Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1041564 Open Grid X-Intake is a high-flow intake plenum plate designed for the 2007.5–2018 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 with the 6.7L Cummins. By removing the restrictive factory cold-weather grid heater from the intake opening, the Open Grid X-Intake increases the effective intake area by approximately 35%, reducing pressure drop and improving airflow into the turbo system for better turbo response and cooler operating temperatures.
This intake upgrade allows smoother airflow and is ideal for trucks that have upgraded intake elbows, tuners, or other performance enhancements. With its precision construction and bolt-on fitment, the Open Grid X-Intake helps minimize bottlenecks in the intake path, supporting improved throttle response and reduced exhaust gas temperatures.
