The aFe 16-19 RAM 1500 V6 3.0L (TD) BladeRunner 3in Aluminum Hot & Cold Charge Pipe Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed to optimize airflow between the turbocharger and engine. Constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum, the smooth transitions reduce turbulence and minimize pressure loss, resulting in increased horsepower and torque. The kit features heavy-duty, 5-ply polyester reinforced silicone couplings and stainless-steel, spring-loaded T-bolt clamps for secure, durable connections. Additionally, it includes a factory-style billet aluminum quick-connect adapter to maintain OEM compatibility while enhancing airflow efficiency and lowering operating temperatures.

This charge pipe kit is engineered specifically for 2016 to 2019 RAM 1500 trucks equipped with the 3.0L V6 turbo diesel engine. It serves as a direct replacement for the factory charge pipes, providing a bolt-on installation with no modifications required. Ideal for street and light performance applications, the kit improves throttle response and overall engine efficiency. The included components ensure a complete upgrade that maintains factory fitment and reliability, making it suitable for daily driving and towing scenarios where enhanced turbo performance is desired.

aFe Charge Pipe Kit

Fitment: 2016-2019 RAM 1500 V6 3.0L Turbo Diesel

Part #: 46-20494-B

Overview

The aFe BladeRunner 3-inch Aluminum Hot & Cold Charge Pipe Kit is designed to replace the factory charge pipes on select RAM 1500 V6 3.0L Turbo Diesel models from 2016 to 2019. This kit is intended for enthusiasts and professionals seeking to improve airflow efficiency and reduce turbocharger lag by minimizing pressure loss and turbulence in the intake system. By providing smoother transitions between the turbo and engine, it supports lower operating temperatures and helps optimize engine response.

Constructed with mandrel-bent aluminum pipes and reinforced silicone couplings, this charge pipe kit balances durability with performance support. It is ideal for those looking to enhance their vehicle’s turbo system reliability and airflow without compromising on fitment or factory-style integration.

Key Features

This charge pipe kit offers several key benefits and design elements:

  • Mandrel-bent aluminum pipes for smooth airflow and reduced turbulence
  • Heavy-duty, 5-ply polyester reinforced silicone couplings for durability and heat resistance
  • Stainless-steel, spring-loaded T-bolt clamps ensure secure, leak-free connections
  • Factory-style billet aluminum quick-connect adapter for seamless integration
  • Black finish for a sleek, durable appearance
  • Designed to maintain proper fitment and compatibility with OEM components

Construction & Design

The kit’s mandrel-bent aluminum construction ensures consistent pipe diameter throughout bends, reducing airflow restrictions common in factory charge pipes. The use of 5-ply reinforced silicone couplings provides flexibility and resistance to heat and pressure, while stainless-steel T-bolt clamps deliver a reliable seal under boost conditions. The billet aluminum quick-connect adapter replicates factory connections, allowing for straightforward installation without modifications.

Installation & Fitment

This charge pipe kit is designed as a direct replacement for the stock charge pipes on compatible RAM 1500 V6 3.0L Turbo Diesel models from 2016 through 2019. Installation requires basic hand tools and can typically be completed without specialized equipment. Fitment should be verified against vehicle specifications and part number to ensure compatibility.
