"I added the Banks pre-filter to my order of the Banks Ram Air. Honestly it’s a no brainer move. When the time finally comes to clean my Bank’s huge ass filter, I won’t have to worry about chunks of bugs or debris in my filter! And if you’re on the fence about ordering a Banks Ram Air, do it. I wished I had ordered it sooner. The increased throttle response is insane. More great products from the guys at Banks."

"I live in ranch country, alot of dust, prefilters are a must and this one works well for larger dust particles before the main filter."
"I live 1/2 mile down a gravel road with an 1/8th mile gravel driveway and this helps keep the air filter noticeably cleaner."
