Key Features

Engineered to deliver reliable performance and flexibility, the PPE Ribbed Flexible Coupler offers the following benefits:

• Constructed from high-quality EPDM rubber for superior heat, ozone, and chemical resistance
• Ribbed exterior design enhances flexibility and prevents kinking under pressure or movement
• Provides vibration-dampening properties to protect intake components and reduce noise
• Specifically compatible with the RAM EcoDiesel Zilla Intake Kit for 2020–2023 models
• Suitable for other intake systems requiring flexible couplers with matching dimensions
• OEM-quality construction ensures long-lasting durability and reliable sealing
• Easy installation using standard hose clamps or fasteners without special tools
• Maintains consistent airflow by preventing leaks and disconnections during operation

Construction & Design

The coupler is crafted from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, a material renowned for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and automotive fluids. This ensures the coupler withstands the harsh conditions of the engine bay without degrading or losing flexibility. The ribbed design not only improves flexibility but also reinforces the coupler against collapse or deformation caused by engine movement or pressure changes.

Designed with precision to fit the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel intake system, the coupler’s dimensions and shape provide a secure, leak-free connection that accommodates minor misalignments without compromising performance. The EPDM material also helps absorb vibrations transmitted through the intake piping, contributing to quieter engine operation.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the PPE Ribbed Flexible Coupler is straightforward and requires only standard hose clamps or fasteners. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the RAM EcoDiesel Zilla Intake Kit for model years 2020 to 2023. No special tools or modifications are necessary, making it an easy upgrade or replacement part.

The flexible nature of the coupler allows it to accommodate slight variations in alignment and engine movement, reducing the risk of leaks or disconnections during vehicle operation. This makes it an excellent choice for both OEM replacements and custom intake setups that demand a reliable flexible joint.
