Looking to get rid of my air box so I can add a second battery for car audio.

I have 2019 ram 1500 classic .

On my 08 I had the cheap short one from Amazon, are these good enough, anyone have experience with anything else ? Thanks

Get a vararam it will give you all kinds of room and actually makes a difference

Thanks for the reply, seems to be around $400 I'm Canadian.
I like it, how's the maintenance on it?

Is there any other options?

Much appreciated brother.

You’re truck is a 2008? Heads up but you posted in the 09-19 section.

Maintain when you do your oil change very simple. There are other options like s&b but if you want extra room and an actual improvement you cant beat the vararam. Being in Canada I would snag a pre filter as well.

Looks like a good system not sure he would gain the room he is looking for vararam would do that for him

Neither the varam or that system will work, mine's the 2019 classic crew cab..

I said in my first post on my 08 I had the short ram kit..but the classic is different. Lol

Any help in finding the right air intake to free up my stock one to put in a second battery would be greatly appreciated
