The Dodge Ram 1500 DS is a serious platform for touring, towing and performance driving in Australia. When these vehicles are converted to right hand drive by ASV Walkinshaw, the engine bay layout changes significantly. Off the shelf intake systems rarely suit these remanufactured vehicles, which is why we developed a purpose built solution.
At Radius Fabrications, we manufacture a stainless snorkel and custom airbox kit specifically for Dodge Ram 1500 DS models converted by ASV. This system is engineered to maximise airflow, improve filtration and maintain reliability in tough Australian conditions.

Purpose Built for ASV Right Hand Drive Conversions
Our Dodge Ram 1500 DS snorkel and airbox kit is designed exclusively for right hand drive conversions carried out by ASV Walkinshaw. These conversions alter key engine bay components and intake routing, meaning factory left hand drive systems are not suitable.
We build each kit to order due to the variations that can exist between individual vehicles. Before manufacturing, we require the year model of your Ram, clear photos of the engine bay and passenger side guard, and confirmation that your vehicle was converted by ASV. This process ensures correct fitment and professional results.
Because of these conversion specific differences, we only supply the snorkel and airbox as a complete kit. This guarantees compatibility between components and avoids issues that can arise when mixing parts.

5 Inch Marine Grade Stainless Steel Snorkel
Airflow is critical in a large capacity V8 platform like the Ram 1500 DS. Our snorkel is fabricated from 5 inch marine grade stainless steel to deliver maximum intake capacity and long term durability.
We do not offer a 4 inch version for this model. The 5 inch design is engineered to support improved airflow and performance, particularly for vehicles used for towing, touring or long distance driving in dusty conditions.
Customers can select either a polished stainless finish or a black powder coated option. We also offer a seamless or standard weld finish depending on your preferred look. This allows you to tailor the appearance of your Ram while maintaining performance.
The snorkel integrates with our custom airbox system and is designed for optimal alignment with ASV converted engine bays. View specifications at https://radiusfabrications.com.au/products/dodge-ram-1500-snorkel.
CNC Cut Aluminium Airbox with Dyno Tested Performance
The matching airbox is built from precision CNC cut aluminium and features an acrylic lid for easy inspection. It is supplied with a high performance Aeroflow AF2711 0870 pod filter, which is readily replaceable from quality parts suppliers across Australia.
Our Dodge Ram 1500 DS airbox has been dyno tested, with results showing improved airflow and noticeable gains in power and torque. This improvement comes from reduced intake restriction and a more efficient filtration path compared to factory arrangements in converted vehicles.
Importantly, no tune is required after installation. The system is designed to enhance airflow without negatively impacting the factory ECU. For most owners, this means straightforward performance gains without additional engine management modifications.

Professional Installation Recommended
Installation of the Dodge Ram 1500 DS snorkel and airbox kit is considered a large and technical job. Cutting and drilling are required, and correct alignment is critical to ensure proper sealing and long term reliability.
We strongly recommend professional installation. If required, contact us and we can help guide you toward experienced fitters familiar with Ram conversions.
Due to snorkel positioning, the factory aerial will need to be relocated to the opposite side of the vehicle with new wiring. This is an important consideration when planning your installation.
Compatibility and Important Considerations
Our Dodge Ram 1500 DS snorkel and airbox kit is suitable for ASV converted vehicles only. If your Ram has been converted by another remanufacturer such as SCD, Platinum or a mirrored custom setup, we recommend contacting us before placing an order to confirm compatibility.
The kit is not compatible with supercharged setups. If your Ram is running a supercharger, please speak with us to discuss alternative options.
Because of conversion variances, we do not sell the snorkel or airbox separately. Supplying a complete kit ensures correct pairing of components and minimises the risk of fitment issues.
