Description:
Passes the test. Again and again.
Others build and ship without testing. Not Banks. Our Ram-Air Intakes start out as CAD software prototypes and are put through flow simulations. The design is refined until the simulation shows optimal performance. Then a hardware prototype is made and the design is validated on a flowbench. After that comes dyno testing and on-vehicle testing. It takes a superior design to pass all those tests!
Filter on a stick: a joke that's not funny.
A filter on a stick is a bad joke. It's wide-open to hot, power-robbing underhood engine air. Ram-Air houses a giant lifetime filter in an enclosed cold-air box, which inhales cool, dense outside air—more than Banks' competitors and up to 57% more than stock—for more power (up to +39 hp/+69 lb-ft, with tuner). More mileage, lower EGTs and less smoke, too. And it's designed to not cause fault or error codes.
Bellows, too? Very exclusive.
Banks Ram-Air is the only aftermarket intake with bellows. This accommodates engine movement and prevents component damage for longer service life. The optional high-flow Super-Scoop is another Banks exclusive!

Banks is one of the premier names in turbocharged diesel modification, but there is a lot more to the company than just that. Banks engines have been used everyone from NAVY Seals to winners at the Bonneville salt-flats.
Banks' name precedes him and it is no coincidence that he teaches to graduate students of the General Motors Institute. Banks' engineering spirit has allowed him to innovate great things, such as the twin-turbo small block Chevy in the late 1970's.

Q: How do you install an air filter?
A: It depends on what type of car you have and what type of air filter you get. A drop-in air filter is installed by opening up your stock air box, pulling out your factory paper filter and replacing it with the new high flow unit. If you opt for the open-element air filter, then your whole air box should be removed and replaced with the new filter. If the filter is universal (not vehicle-specific), slight modifications using reducers and couplers may be needed depending on the size of the filter and intake hosing.
Q: What does an air filter do? Why purchase one?
A: An air filter protects against debris from getting into your engine. The factory air filter on your car is very restrictive, and buying an performance filter will generally help improve throttle response and add a pleasing induction sound to the engine under acceleration. An air filter can also significantly clean up the under-hood appearance of your car and make it easier to see and access components of your engine bay.
