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: What do air intakes do? Why buy an air intake?
A: Air intakes bring more air into the engine, which creates more power during combustion. Air intakes will generally help with throttle response and higher power gains, adding a pleasing induction sound to your engine under acceleration. An air intake also significantly cleans up your under-hood appearance and makes it easier to see and access components of your engine bay.
Q: Do you have to buy an air filter if you're buying an air intake?
A: Aair intakes are usually sold with all the components needed including the filter and all adapters.
Q: How do you install an air intake?
A: Air intakes are a true bolt-on application. The removal of your factory air box and resonator will be needed and the air intake installed in its place. Basic hand tools are needed, and the intake installs in minutes. If you don't regularly work on your truck yourself, installing an air intake might be a great way to get started and get familiarized because it's perhaps the most simple bolt-on performance upgrade you can do. Alternatively, you can take it to a shop to have it installed and expect the labor cost to be low since it would be an hour or less of labor most likely.
