"I installed this along with Banks Exhaust and Pedal Monster on my 2025 Rubicon X 3. 6. I’m very happy with the intake and exhaust but the Pedal Monster not so much."

About This Product
Banks Power, an innovator in gas and diesel performance for over 60 years, introduces the latest in its Ram-Air family of emissions compliant performance cold air intakes. The new system gives the Jeep 3.6L Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT exceptional horsepower and reliability by providing the engine with increased air density, airflow and the best filtration available.
Specifications
The Ram-Air cold air intake adds a tested best-in-class airflow of 782 CFM, a gain of 82% over stock and 21.6% over its closest competitor. The system produces lower temperature air at higher pressure providing air density right at the throttle inlet. As a result, the Banks Ram-Air system boasts a 38% air density improvement compared to the stock intake, two times the increase of its closest competitor. This lower temperature air provides more thermal headroom before the engine hits the detonation limit of the fuel, resulting in more power on hot days.
Its durable molded plastic housing is fully enclosed, keeping power-robbing hot air in the engine bay where it belongs and not in the intake system. At the heart of the Ram-Air system is Banks’ new Big-Ass Filter element which is the largest and least restrictive in its class. Like all Banks Ram-Air intakes, the system was designed using computational fluid dynamics, followed by rigorous testing on the flow bench, dynamometer and on-road driving.
Available in both oiled and dry variations, Banks’ new Big-Ass filters offer 672 square inches of surface area, 21% more than their closest competitor. This allows for greater dirt collection and more miles between cleaning. The Ram-Air advantage becomes even more pronounced the dirtier the filter gets. Competitive filters clog up and become restrictive long before the Big-Ass Filter. Superior filtration is accomplished by using a proprietary multi-layer woven cloth that keeps even the finest dirt and debris out of the intake system while providing maximum airflow.
The Ram-Air also offers an appealing growl under acceleration while utilizing a Helmholtz resonator to eliminate the annoying drone found with competitive intake systems.

Just got the intake installed,

Air Intake
"Quality and fitment is excellent. Would highly recommend this product."
Growl
"Makes such a difference in acceleration and performance. My jeep doesn't fall on its face anymore"
Better than expected. . .
"Five Stars. . . I received this yesterday and installed it in virtually no time this afternoon. It produces a wonderful sound and peppier acceleration in my 3. 6L 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys. It's a high quality piece and well worth the price. Thanks. . ."
Banks Cold Air Intake
"Real quick install, sounds great. Satisfied customer 👍🏼"
Amazing
"Sounds great"
I am very happy with
"I am very happy with this intake. I had another brand previously and the fit was horrible. The banks intake fits perfect. Install was a breeze due to having an other aftermarket intake . The sound is great, a little louder then stock, but in a good way."
20 Gladiator Enhancement
"One of the nicer mods I've made to my Jeep. Ive had this installed for several days. Product is well made and fits perfectly for a super easy installation. Took me less than 30 minutes. I notice a decent throttle response and an nice rumble under excelleration, but not over bearing. My MPG went up by just under 1 mpg. Im looking forward to seeing how it doesvlong term. Oh, and NO dash warning lights😀 Thanks for a great product."
2025 Jeep Wrangler 4 door
"Superior fit and finish. Don’t know about fuel mileage gains. I literally just finished the install. This Banks CAI sounds amazing. You can definitely hear how much air it’s consuming. Definitely seems to have a quicker acceleration. I highly recommend. Dave - Lake George, NY"
Q&A
- Will this work on engines with etorque system?
- Etorque motors are a different configuration and this kit won't be compatible
- How does one choose between the oiled filter or dry filter option?
- It really comes down to where you plan to drive, our oiled filters work great in capturing dust and debris, while the dry filter offers better flow, but works better for those strictly on-road driving.
- hi, will this fit my 2026 3.6l V6 wrangler? Banks Ram-Air® Big-Ass Oiled or Dry Filter, Cold Air Intake System SKU #41843
- The Ram-Air intake will work on 2026 3.6L Wranglers as the fitment is identical, however the EO certification will take some time.
- Will you guys be releasing an intake for the diesel engine?
- No, we will not offer an EcoDiesel intake.
