Rough Country Cold Air Intake — Ram 1500 5.7L (2009–2018, 2019–2024 Classic), High-Flow Reusable Filter

Rough Country Cold Air Intake 10614 replaces the factory airbox to deliver cooler, denser air for improved horsepower and throttle response in Ram 1500 5.7L engines.

Engine breathing matters: this bolt-on intake relocates a high-flow, reusable filter away from the hot engine bay, supplying colder air to the combustion chamber for stronger, more responsive performance. Designed specifically for 2009–2018 Ram 1500 and 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic trucks with the 5.7L HEMI, the Rough Country 10614 system uses a large-diameter tube and cylindrical filter to move more air than the restrictive factory boxed filter while offering easy at-home installation and long-term serviceability.

How much performance improvement can I expect from the Rough Country intake?

The intake increases airflow and can yield noticeable gains in throttle response and peak horsepower depending on vehicle condition and other modifications. Results vary by truck, elevation, and tuning; however, the system’s larger tube and open-element filter reduce intake restriction versus factory equipment.

• Large-diameter intake tube for higher volumetric flow
• Cylindrical, high-flow reusable filter for reduced restriction
• Cooler air placement outside the hot engine envelope
• Immediate driveability and throttle feel improvements

Will this intake protect my engine while improving performance?

The Rough Country unit includes a premium reusable filter that traps dirt and debris while allowing increased airflow. Properly maintained and cleaned at recommended intervals, the filter balances protection with performance without sacrificing durability.

• High-efficiency filter media designed for particle capture
• Reusable element — clean and re-oil per instructions
• Durable construction to withstand under-hood conditions
• Helps prevent foreign material from entering the intake tract

How easy is installation and does it require special tuning?

Rough Country engineered the 10614 intake for straightforward, at-home installation using common hand tools and factory mounting points. Most installs are bolt-on with the provided hardware and do not require ECU tuning, though optimized results can be achieved with aftermarket tuning in some setups.

• Includes all necessary hardware for direct fitment to specified Ram 1500 models
• No permanent cutting or modification of factory structures
• Estimated installation time: modest — often under two hours
• Optional tuning may further enhance gains but is not mandatory

What warranty and maintenance should I expect with this intake?

Rough Country backs the 10614 Cold Air Intake with a Limited Lifetime Replacement Warranty, providing long-term coverage for manufacturing defects. Routine maintenance is primarily filter cleaning and inspection to maintain airflow and protection.

• Limited Lifetime Replacement Warranty from Rough Country
• Filter cleaning intervals depend on driving environment and conditions
• Simple filter removal and reinstallation for serviceability
• Manufacturer support and installation resources available

Who this is for: The Rough Country Cold Air Intake 10614 is aimed at Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic owners (2009–2018 and 2019–2024 respectively) with the 5.7L engine who want a reliable, easy-to-install upgrade for stronger throttle response and increased airflow. It suits daily drivers and light-duty truck owners who want a durable, reusable filter system and prefer a straightforward bolt-on performance improvement without intensive fabrication or mandatory tuning.
