When the 2019 RAM Cummins arrived, it created a problem for every aftermarket intake manufacturer.
Build an intake that actually flows more air, and you'll trigger trouble codes and poor drivability. Build one that avoids the codes, and you risk flowing no better—or even worse than the factory intake.
Most companies chose the easy path.
We engineered a new one.
In this Fact Check, Gale Banks inspects the S&B intake and compares it to the Banks Ram-Air Intake using engineering analysis, filter design evaluation, and flow bench testing.
Then things get interesting.
After measuring the current production S&B intake, Gale visits S&B's website and discovers performance claims that don't appear to match the intake sitting on the bench. Could those published test results belong to an earlier filter design? We examine the evidence and let you decide.
If you're shopping for a 2019-2024 RAM Cummins cold air intake, watch this before spending your money.
