DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

• The factory intake horn on the legendary 12-valve 5.9L Cummins is small, restrictive, and prone to creating turbulence before pressurized air enters the intake manifold.
• Under higher boost levels or heavy towing, this restriction chokes your engine, slows down turbo response, and causes excessive EGTs.
• Upgrading to the 3.5" High-Flow Air Intake Elbow opens up the air path and smooths out internal airflow. By feeding cooler, dense air more efficiently into the cylinders, it unleashes faster spool times, better fuel combustion, and reduced thermal stress on your engine.

Key Features

• T304 Stainless Steel Construction: Heavy-duty TIG welds withstand high-boost pressures, heat cycling, and extreme engine vibration without warping or cracking.
• Maximizes Airflow & Intake Volume: 3.5" mandrel-bent design replaces narrow factory restrictions to improve airflow into the intake plenum.
• Lowers EGTs: Superior intake airflow promotes complete fuel combustion, dropping high EGTs under load and towing.
• Faster Turbo Spool: Smooth inner walls eliminate air turbulence, allowing your turbo to build boost faster and improve throttle response.

FAQ

Q: Can I install this on a stock 5.9L Cummins?

A: Yes. The high-flow intake elbow can be installed on stock trucks as an airflow upgrade. It is also a popular upgrade for trucks with turbo, exhaust, or fueling modifications.

Q: Will this improve turbo response?

A: By reducing intake restriction and improving airflow efficiency, this upgrade can help support better throttle response and turbo performance, especially on modified or high-load applications.

Q: Is this compatible with aftermarket turbos?

A: Yes. The larger 3.5" airflow design makes it a suitable upgrade for many modified 5.9L Cummins setups, including trucks running upgraded turbo systems.

Q: Does this replace the factory intake horn and charge pipe?

A: Yes. This kit replaces the factory restrictive intake elbow/charge pipe with a larger high-flow design.
