Let Your Cummins Breathe Like It Should

If you're looking to squeeze every bit of performance out of your 5.9L Cummins, the Banks 48639 Power Elbow Kit is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. This isn’t just about bolting on horsepower—it’s about unlocking the flow your turbo needs to perform its best. The stock turbine outlet is restrictive and chokes off power right where you need it most. The Power Elbow fixes that by opening up the flow and slashing backpressure by up to 60 percent. That means faster spool, better throttle response, and lower EGTs when you're towing or putting your foot down. It's a perfect match for the Banks Monster Exhaust, but even on its own, it brings noticeable gains you’ll feel every time you hit the throttle. From daily driving to heavy hauling, this kit helps your truck breathe easier and run stronger where it counts.

Upgrade The Bottleneck With A Precision Fit Kit

The Banks Power Elbow Kit is engineered to address a critical restriction in the 1998–2002 Dodge RAM 5.9L Cummins exhaust path—the tight, inefficient stock turbo outlet. This kit replaces it with a large-bore, cast elbow housing designed to improve exhaust flow from the turbocharger. Paired with a stainless 4-inch Monster turbine-outlet pipe, it significantly reduces post-turbo backpressure and supports cooler, more efficient turbo operation. Lowering backpressure not only helps the turbo spool more quickly, it also enhances durability and reduces thermal stress on the engine during high-load conditions. All necessary mounting hardware is included for a clean and direct install that integrates smoothly with Banks Monster Exhaust systems. While it’s an ideal performance enhancement on its own, it’s not compatible with Banks Brake systems, so it’s important to plan your upgrades accordingly. This is a functional, tested solution for diesel owners who want to move beyond factory limitations and into higher-performing territory.
