Intake Brands' Dirty Little Secret
The 2024+ Duramax L5P is one hell of an engine. It offers big power and bigger torque in a smooth, stout package. But it can be better. We know, because we've made it better with our new Ram-Air intake system, but the secret to making the turbo and engine more efficient is our patented Banks Air Mass Control Module.
Why it's better:
- 58% increased airflow over stock intake
- Air Mass Control Module unlocks increased performance
- Increases air density at the turbo inlet
RAM Courts Disaster
Tom Sheehan’s 2017 Ram was a ticking time bomb. After 200K miles with a grid heater warning light, the heater bolt was literally hanging by a thread—one bump could’ve killed his engine. He installed the Banks Monster-Ram® and avoided disaster just in time.
Not only is Tom's bolt issue solved, but:
- Mileage boosted from 14 to 24 mpg in town
- No more clogged grid heater means better starts
- Truck pulls harder, responds faster
No Snake Oil Here
“This thing’s got some get-up-and-go!” said YouTuber Rainman Ray after giving a 2020 Silverado L5P Duramax the full Banks treatment. This included a Ram-Air Intake, Boost Tubes, Ram-Air Diff Cover, Banks Monster Exhaust, iDash, Derringer tuner, and a PedalMonster. The Verdict after installation: “This isn’t snake oil. This is physics.”
The Banks Benefit:
- Tow and pass easier
- Massive increase in usable power
- Less airflow restriction
- Quicker turbo spool
-
Pedal lag eliminated

Governator Approved
Back in 2007, then Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger sent a letter of congratulations to Gale Banks for his 50 years in business. The “Governator” praised Banks for its growth from being a one-man storefront to a world-class engineering firm that leads the automotive aftermarket and while the Terminator will famously "Be back," Gale Banks never left!
