The Banks Ram-Air intake system is a revolutionary design, which consists of a hanging Banks high-flow 360° 8-layer filter – the largest filter area in the industry – with a huge 7 ⅛-inch outlet; a shielded cold-air box; the market’s only 4 ½- inch bellows to accommodate engine movement; and a streamlined intake path with a wide-open inlet that virtually eliminates any intake restriction. As a result, the system offers 42% better airflow than stock, and is fully enclosed from the engine compartment to keep hot, underhood ambient air out of the intake. “Air density is power,” said Gale Banks, president of Gale Banks Engineering. “Our Ram Air intake system offers the reliability and durability of the factory intake, but with significant gains in air density. It’s not a ‘filter-on-a-stick’ design that others offer. We’ve tested other available intake systems and found that some actually reduce airflow and power compared to stock.” The Banks system is designed to work with stock sensors, and tested to not generate trouble codes in stock and modified power output levels. Established in 1958, Gale Banks Engineering of Azusa, California, is a leading designer-manufacturer of power, braking and high performance products for diesel and gasoline-powered trucks, SUVs and motorhomes.
