Specifications

Banks Ram-Air filter is a high-flow air-cleaner element that decreases intake restriction and sends more cool, dense ram-air into your engine. Even wet or dirty, Banks Ram-Air filters outperform conventional ones, because the multi-layer design traps moisture, dust, and debris on the oiled or dry, outer surface, allowing air to move through with ease.

Reviews

I’ve purchased multiple BANKS performance

"I’ve purchased multiple BANKS performance products and have no complaints AIR INTAKE MONSTER RAM INTAKE MANIFOLD INTERCOOLER & BOOST TUBES REAR DIFF COVER SPARE AIR FILTER Highly recommend all BANKS products. Very happy with quality and all products purchased."

Brandon O. (5/5)

Great filter

"I bought this filter to have a second filter to change out with while the one that came with the ram air kit, which is an oiled filter, when cleaning it. It seems to work better due to it won’t put oil residue on sensors and triggering CEL, wish it would have been available when I ordered the kit. Only thing is it doesn’t give directions on cleaning."

Michael W. (5/5)

Recommend a second filter

"The Ram Air system works as advertised. The response of the engine as well as the fuel mileage improved as stated. I had to order a second filter due to the original getting dirty and the expected rainy weather when I got back home. These filters work well and are easy to clean, but I needed my truck, so I purchased a second filter."

Michael L. (5/5)

Perfect Fit

"Work in the parts department at a dealership, Matched the filter # to the one on the vehicle and came up with this, worked perfectly for us, we managed to make some good money off of it and the customer was happy. BANKS always makes a great product"

Jarred O. (5/5)

Good quality and can hear intake more profoundly

"Prefer this over the oiled filter because it lasts longer and is easier to maintain. Also the dry filter has the advantage to keep because if you forget to re-oil or do not add enough oil, you can cause cylinder wall damage and scuffing"

Bryce L. (5/5)

A little "pricey," but I

"A little "pricey," but I am sure I can trust the Performance and Quality of this Filter. After watching a Banks Video (comparing a Banks Filter to an S & B Filter), I was shocked on how much the Banks "out-performed" the S & B Filter by a mile! I know Banks fully Engineers and Test their Products. . . . a real "plus" these days."

Harold H. (4/5)

Works Great

"This was bought to be able to swap with my other one between cleaning and oiling. Its more efficient to have one sitting on the shelf to swap out during servicing. As with all of the Banks products that I have purchased they excellent quality."

Jason H. (5/5)

Banks Super scoop cold air

"Already have the Banks super scoop. Bought this filter to replace the one I had in it for 50,000 miles. Great product as usual!"

Eddie F. (5/5)

Great product as always from Bankd!

"Great quality product from Banks. I am very pleased with everything I have from them. Highly recommend them!"

James P. (5/5)

Air Cleaner

"I bought this as a second to eliminate waiting period when the filter cleaning is needed. Swap it for the clean one. then service the dirty one. Clean filter is a must!"

Q&A

My Banks cold air intake along with all Banks components thru exhaust will be installed on my 2021 Ram 2500 starting Mon. Is the new oiled type air filter initially pre-oiled from Banks, or does it require an initial 4.2 oz application of K&N filter oil?
Our oiled filters come pre-oiled so they are ready for installation.
What is the cfm/air flow rating of the dry filter? What is the published efficiency rating of the dry filter?
We don't have CFM numbers for individual air filters, those ratings are based on the complete air intake system.
Does banks sell the cleaning solution and oil for these filters or is it recommended to replace the filter? And if cleaning is okay where can I find the cleaner/ oil, I do not see it listed on the website.
You can use any cleaning solution found at your local auto part store.
